Golly, I wonder why I feel so empty!

Here it is, almost 9 pm, and my nice hardworking hungry husband* soon to come home, and have I started dinner? No, I have not, because I have been spending the last several millennia writing a soothing and (oh, how I hope and fondly dream) helpful set of emails for my students, many of whose brains are quietly exploding over the difficulty of reading Edward II. Not to mention the scene-by-scene cheat sheet I am considering writing for them next (for reference after they have done the reading for themselves, of course, what do you take me for?). Is that a terrible plan or a good one? Who knows? Without a doubt, all this helpful helping will backfire by way of being way too much to digest.

Does a concern with the lack of dinner (and breakfast and lunch, now that I come to think of it) and a little digestion metaphor suffice to make this entry thematically appropriate? Not really, BUT HEY. As they say.

*Yeeargh! "Husband"!

Will you have them watch the movie? (the film description makes it sound as if they might need some post-viewing soothing)

AIEE! Thank you, you just reminded me that I still need to see if I can get a copy from our non-print blahblah library collection.

It's going to be optional viewing a bit later on -- it's so much an adaption, not just a production, that I'm afraid it will blow their (varying degrees of) tenuous grasp of the original text right out of the water if they see it too soon.

*raises hand*

"Ooh, ooh, Ms. Redfox! Is Edward II the one where he finally gets real human hands?"
