Ira Glass, Bitches!

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

WHAT? No comments on the Wild Fuck Reserve being worn by a European Nation's youth?
Can I no longer shock you people? Do I need to show up with one boob hanging out of a tube top, talking about how I am carrying Vlad the Impalers love child?

Cause I can. I am not afraid to totally GO there....

Here is another entry into the

"Youth of today are all going to hell in a hand basket"
or
"Why I am becoming that cranky old woman who mutters about todays youth all going to hell in a hand basket"

Lecture in class on Monday night - I am giving a co-lecture on GRAPHIC NOVELS!!! How fucking cool is that? Graphic Novels, People!! The Sandman, Stardust, Batman: Dark Knight Returns, Maus, Persepholis......

My colleague reads a quote from Ira Glass. She intros the piece and says "You know Ira Glass? This American Life?"

Nothing. Not one flicker of interest.

Although I outed myself as a blog writer to these same students that night as a Blogger and later, when I watched the stats meter, I could see all of them hitting the sites from class. If you are still reading, I say STOP and read your book for class. You don't want me to bring Vlad to class.

I tried to comment on your post yesterday but kept getting a blogger error. I was trying to tell you that I would have bought one of those jackets or whatever they are, and a matching one for my husband. Looks like it is working again today!

I want the badge fuck the jacket

After the post the other day, I pretty much thought you were closing up shop.

Please show up in a tube top with one breast hanging out. I'm runnning out of ideads for the damn nablopomo!

I thought you closed comments to the blog.

The Wild Fuck cracked me up.

dawn, if you really wanted to spark interest in the class, which is a very, VERY long class i might add, start talking about how crossover literature is influencing the new generations reading habits. that may be something a little more interesting, considering half the class has NO idea who Ira Glass is, and where born to late to have any real affliction with the superheros that have not been made into big screen characters..

Correction on that last sentence, I meant to say "were" and not "where". It's hard to type with a hand in a cast (lets see if you can guess who wrote this now!)

Dawn said...

Why, Hello Skylar.

and I am SO not closing shop. Just saying goodbye to blog friends that are no longer around -

Goddess, you slay me. . .

I SO WISH I could move to Canada to take your class, woman.

What?! Ira Glass in on my "list" wink wink nudge nudge.

Ok - I think the above sentence clearly labels me as the blogosphere's biggest nerd. Not only am I in love with Ira but I quote Monty Python in the same sentence.
