If anyone is reading an awesome book and would like to share their find with the class, please comment on a post. Better yet, email me and I'll put a forum post for us to "share and share alike."
See you all tomorrow. Read More......
I've mentioned this radio broadcast a few times in class, so I thought I'd post it. The contributors are from the University of London, Keble College at Oxford, and Cardiff University. It is an interesting overview of the history of faeries (or spirits, elves, demons, changlings...) from the ancient Hebrew demoness Lilith to Peter Pan. Good times all around. Read More......
Woot. School's been cancelled for tomorrow, so brew a cuppa chai, curl up by the fire (or space heater), grab a good book (I'm reading How to Read Superhero Comics and Why in preparation for next semester and Dracula to scare myself silly) and enjoy the break.
On a separate note, perhaps you've noticed my attempt to spiffify my site banner? Perhaps you snicker at my attempt? Well, for those of you who are graphically inclined, I am posting a request for a new design. I have only two specifications:
It must be original, drawn by you (either on paper or on the computer).
It should contain the words "Windmills and Giants" and not contain the name of our school.
From there, it is up to you. I will give 10 bonus points for each submission.
Edit: Due to the inclement weather, and the fact that trees are exploding all around my house [Come to think of it, it's kind of like the Seige of Bastogne, except I was inside, and there were no Nazis. Okay, it was nothing like Bastogne. More like Brian's Winter, except...], I have no electricity and thus no internet access. If you have any questions, please email me, but my responses will be held until I can get to Starbucks again. Or until I figure out how to re-wire the blown transformer outside of my window.
As you respond, think about the Girls' message, and the message of the image. Is it persuasive? Does it hold up under scrutiny? Whether you agree with them or not, your analysis should be objective. As always, a personal reaction is always welcome along with your analysis. Read More......
