I didn't get around to see it when it was in the theatres, so we watched it tonight. I thought it was an excellent quasi-neorealist postmodern film noir. It might be its own genre. The acting was superb, especially from Amy Ryan and Casey Affleck. Coincidentally, this was the third Casey Affleck film I've seen in the past week. Anywhoo, there was ( Read more... )

Today I taught my first high school art classes. The fact that I have been teaching younger students for years did not make me any less nervous. I looked into their blank expressions and it freaked me out. I'm used to boisterous energy, laughter. The Stepford teens at my academic high school terrified me. The silence is so creepy.

Also, I just learned that on top of my 13 weekly classroom hours, my 20-hour work week, and my weekly 16 hours of student teaching, my program requires me to tutor a student ( Read more... )
