Looking for some inspiration… and found Anderson Cooper <3

Today is Thursday, 22 March 2012. Today is one of the freest days of my life at work and I intend to do something worthwhile. I know, I know, the messed up room, the books to read and my first year students' grades are barely hallway done.. but I'm just quite overwhelmed with the fact that I'm not going to beat some deadline with utmost urgency makes me so heady, I'm practically on seventh heaven. All that to dos are waiting for my precious attention and soooooooon they will surely have it… But on top of my list is a class report I should be doing for my masters in Reading… It's a whole chapter on Teaching vocabulary for READ 201(Teaching Reading in the Content Areas). That can't wait but I'm still quite reluctant at leaving my computer and closing this blog post.

I ran into Anderson Cooper, all over gain, and still is mesmerized at this gray fox's incredible eyes, you-smile-and-i-melt like butter on a heated pan feeling, and all that silly crinkling of the corners of his eyes, made that segment with Kathy Griffin just hillllllllllllarious and fun. I'd like to shove her off the screen and take the seat myself. The part when he put his hand under his chin and smiled like a high school boy is sooooooooooo cute. How can one man be gray-haired, impeccably intelligent, and cute, and just simply manage to look hot however, whenever. Thank God for this. Hehehe


 

So that I may not forget, here's the link:

Shakespeare on Day 1

"To have shared such a passion- a favorite film of hers on our first day of class is something." ~Shentep Zpere


 

We sat and waited out almost 3 hours watching a film adaptation of a Shakespeare play - Merchant of Venice. :D


 

informative - yes;

literary - very much

touching - jeremy irons on a death sentence still managed to look hot. :)

braindraining- maybe a modern, easy-read version of the screenplay will do...


 

sadya tani except for the poor audio...

a must watch again..


 

i love this Shylock monologue though. i got it from some Shakespeare website

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
