Dr. R, on Wordworth's Prelude and how it applies to other Romantics: Godwin's kind of a phase every Romantic has to go thru and then grow out of. And people like Shelley never grow out of him because they die.
Becky, on Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft: I mean, having been married to her, he has a more personal connection to her than MOST men…
In Mary Wollstonecraft's biography (by Godwin), Mary is not allowed to nurse her newborn daughter, so they get puppies to nurse to relieve the pressure. No joke.
Dr. R: That's an image you do not shake easily.
Becky: Dying in childbirth-that's a very womanly thing to do!
Lorien: yep. kind of hard to do if you're not a woman!
Ashley's brain: Oh, the visuals… BABY SHOOTS OUT OF THE WOMB AND HITS THE DAD IN THE HEAD!
*Lana and I are in our third floor office when we realize that we need to go to class. Lana rushes out. I take about 30 seconds more to gather up my stuff, and also leave the room. I head directly to the elevator and wait about 30 seconds for it to arrive. The door opens… and Lana steps off.*
Ashley: HOW DID YOU DO THAT??
Mom, telling me about her day working with third-graders:
So the principal walks in, and I tell him, "We have a student melting down all over the room and we can't take it anymore."
The principal asks, "Where is he?"
"He's in the coat closet."
He goes, "Okay." He walks over to the coat closet and opens the door. "…Come with me."
"I don't want to!"
"You will obey me."
And the kid got up and went with him!
One night Priya and I had to walk our classmate's dog for her. Sadly, we could NOT get the door open, and probably stood there and messed with it for five to ten minutes trying to get it unlocked.
Priya looks in the window at the cat: Thomas! Help us!
Speaking of Priya, it got pretty hot last week. Now, in August, when we first all came to live in the house together, it was ridiculously hot all the time, and Kyle and I ended up shutting ourselves up in the study, which is the only room with an air conditioner, while Priya was wearing jeans and sneakers and a tshirt and a hoody and saying she wasn't hot. But one evening last week, after I had been sitting up in my room sweltering while doing my homework, I caught her alone in the study in shorts and a tank top with the air conditioner on.
Ashley: YOU CHEATER!!!
Priya: *laughing*
Student 1: I think it's poison ivy.
Student 2: That's not poison ivy.
Student 1: Then what DID it?
Ashley: THE IMPS. I BLAME IMPS FOR EVERYTHING.
Student 1: ...What are imps?
Ashley: They're like evil little elves.
Student 1: ...
Student 2: ...
Student 2: YOU'RE RIGHT! IT'S IMPS! IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.
Scene where Loki tells Hulk that he won't be manhandled because he's a god, and the Hulk smashes the heck out of him:
