charloweenThe FACS paper ("Yay, fanvids") is done and handed in (and is probably far too broad for what she was looking for).
The So Very, Very Late paper ("something about John Greyson, AIDS activism and queer cinema") is done and handed in (and is really quite bad).
All my lectures for the year are done, it's just finishing up the coursework.
The prof for the Canadian cinema seminar had us open the wine partway through class and so we drank through the last hour or so of the course (and then moved the party to the Underground for pints). A nice way to ease, stumbling and sloshed, out of the school year. [Edit: I should mention, the high point of this adventure was watching the prof put on a silly voice and recite the lead-up lead-up dialogue to the "Time Warp" from RHPS while making silly faces and waving his arms all silly-like. An image which will stay with me forever.]
I have to take some credits over the summer. The prof for the FACS class is teaching in the summer term, and I'm trying to decide if I should take her class. On the plus side, it's a full course (6 credits) that'll meet formally on the Tuesday nights, and then on the Thursdays it will meet downtown somewhere at a gallery opening, or show, or maybe just a cafe in Yorkville. She said for sure that it'll be a fun and relaxing way to spend a summer course, with a few easy assignments and probably an exam (to make sure we do the readings) tossed in there. On the down side, it'll be an evening class (boo, hiss) and is a 2nd-year level course. On the kind-of-neutral side, it's out of my faculty, and I need to take more non-faculty courses to fulfill breadth requirements so I can graduate. *ponders* Oh, and the boring old name of the course is something about "Visual Culture and Western Society" but she wants to change its name to "Eye Candy". Sounds like a pretty Queen West way to spend a summer course.
...
And then I got this silly email from amazon:
Dear Amazon.ca Customer,
We've noticed that customers who have expressed interest in The Romance of Transgression in Canada : Queering Sexualities, Nations, Cinemas** by Thomas Waugh have also ordered Cowboys, Gentlemen, and Cattle Thieves : Ranching on the Western Frontier by Warren M Elofson. For this reason, you might like to know that Warren M Elofson's Cowboys, Gentlemen, and Cattle Thieves : Ranching on the Western Frontier is now available in Paperback.
I love how gay = cowboys, at least according to amazon's giant computer brain.
** an excellent book that I used as a source in The Very Late Paper.

Finally, guess who called me today!

Oooh! Did good ol'
