This likely isn't any good, and anyway, it is meant to be funnier when all is said and done. Well, darkly comedic. Point being, I am reading The Handmaid's Tale for the continuing education course I am taking via Queen's online distance education program, but this will not be at all like that book or a dystopic vision of any sort, though I can ( Read more... )

I just found out The Black Donnellys was cancelled. Talk about not being in the loop. Sheesh. Also? That sucks. Seriously.

As expected, the student-teacher dialogue test went fine but for the directions bit. What's near the cafeteria? Uh. The hell if I know. Where can you buy some tea? First floor. Meander until you smell coffee beans. Timmy's. I was so damn nervous. My hands were shaking. Oh, and I forgot to sign "Nice to meet you!", which is totally shitty ( Read more... )
