Romeo Blue


Lenny Kravitz, Mama Said

I 1st heard of him when he married Lisa Bonet.

His mother played the neighbor on The Jeffersons.

He was a hipster before hipsters were hip, & this is his best album.

Standout track: "Always on the Run," featuring Slash.

Juniors:
You finished up the group work.

We talked about "honesty" in poetry, inspired by Cleanth Brooks's take on The Waste Land.

You got the list of recurring words, & you will have 1/2 hour (30 minutes) to work on that tomorrow.

Sophomores:
We went over the open-book quizzes based on the material we had read aloud in class the previous day.

You submitted unit 4 synonyms.

We read scene 4.

We may just finish this thing tomorrow.

In coming days, you will have the chance to improve your grade w/ 2 big assignments:

(1) the quiz on those "Drama Notes" we have been covering daily &
(2) the "Antigone Quotations" pages: you copied down all the instructions & were given quotations from the Prologue & scene 1, as well as the explanations for each scene.

I am off to watch The Girl Who Played With Fire (part 2 of The Millennium Trilogy, aka "the series that started w/ The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo")

  2. Okay, here's an Eric Clapton version of "Love in vain"
    (I didn't want to blow your mind too much with the original Robert Johnson version..)
    You may have heard the Stones' version but...
    I don't know.
    We were talking about things that "move" us today.
    this is what moves me
