Dr. Burris was talking today about he's like an extreme introvert, but he manages to disassociate himself to be able to teach the class... so after class, Robin and I both were like, "yeah, but, that rocks." And then I was telling him about my first day and the "yes, this class is going to rock"... and... I think he was pleased. It's hard to tell. But I complimented him on his rocking-ness anyway.

I am the consummate fangirl. *grins*

So, in that vein, this past week's Burrisisms!

"This [emotion's] gonna be hard [to identify]... we never feel this one... yeah! Anger! ... or maybe RAGE... or maybe indignation... and I don't know how to say this one, but [writes #@!!]"

"Kicking the tires [of your car], 'you stupid sonofabitch, you're supposed to WORK!' I mean, questioning your vehicle's lineage is certainly anthropomorphizing it."

"This is the 'woohoo!' quadrant. That's the technical term."

[referring to himself] "Gee, I wonder why he's talking about defensive pessimism, he's personally invested in it."

"Yeah, I guess if you were chronically successful, you'd be like 'yeah, whatever, another A...' ...some people are looking at me like, 'huh? what's an A?'"

[he thought he saw a question but there wasn't] "Oh god, the floating hands are back..."

"Have you seen this new Dancing Elmo commercial? '[to the Chicken Dance] Elmo wanna be a chicken, Elmo wanna be a duck, bawk bawk bawk bawk!' That damn thing has stayed with me for days."

"The kid's looking around for the threat because they're being held back - but there's nothing there - OH MY GOD, it's INVISIBLE DEATH RAYS."

[Resistant attachment style people are the ones who want to be really close, right off the bat, want to know where their partner is, etc.]

Q: "So what if two resistant people got together?"
A: "Great sex. [laughter] There might even be bondage involved. 'You're not going anywhere!' 'No, I'm not!'"

"Resistant people are like, 'You must love me forever and ever and I will always love you and you'll never leave me' [starts doing humming the violins from Psycho and stabbing]"

"There's a sense of power in this role [of teacher] - not like 'mwahahaha Luke I am your father!' but power nonetheless..."

Okay guys:

(particularly for you, Lauren:)

Out of these two sets of Shakespearian plays, which would YOU rather study and WHY? (Why is important.)
Mathies/people who hate Shakespeare need not reply.

a) Henry VI, Richard III, Comedy of Errors, Titus Andronicus, Taming of the Shrew, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love's Labour's Lost, Romeo and Juliet, Richard II, A Midsummer Night's Dream, King John, Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing

( Personal pro/con list )

OR

b) Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Troilus and Cressida, All's Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Timon of Athens, Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, Henry VIII

( personal pro/cons )

Now, probably we'd be studying either a few of them in-depth (5-6) or most of them less-in-depth (~10). So...

Vote away?

And...

If anyone wants to know what my schedule would be like if I did this double-major I've been planning for...

(Alia, don't look. You'd either laugh at my non-pain, or want to use your homicidal cross-country telekinetic powers on me. [originally I wrote him instead of me...])

What my four years will look like if I do this... and I will. Oh, I will.
