Life-tastic!: November 2009
http://life-tastic.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The amazing life of me. Enjoy. Monday, November 23, 2009. You're easy to dance with. That's what I'm listening to right now. Oh, Fred Astaire. Why don't they make them like you anymore? That evening Andy invited Ben and me to go to his friend's birthday party. As it turned out, his friend (and many of his other friends as well) works for the The Post Family. Which is the group that designed the Obama "O" election logo. And guess what I'm doing now? Posted by Becky Robison. Wednesday, November 18, 2009.

Life-tastic!: Everybody, let's rock.
http://life-tastic.blogspot.com/2010/01/everybody-lets-rock.html
The amazing life of me. Enjoy. Thursday, January 21, 2010. Everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancing to the jailhouse rock. Where Elvis sings "Jailhouse Rock," (check out the link if you haven't) it's clearly in a male prison. There are no ladies. What, then, does this verse imply? I leave it to your imagination. Soon after this Thackeray's father died, and a year to the day. Finally I went to my Irish Lit class, and guess what? My prof is from Ireland! In other news, last nigh...

Life-tastic!: October 2009
http://life-tastic.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The amazing life of me. Enjoy. Wednesday, October 7, 2009. A very American fall break. I am very sad that fall break is over for a few reasons: a.) I have to go back to classes and regain my work ethic, and b.) this was pretty much the best fall break in the history of fall breaks. Anyway, after that we came home, I ran to the store to buy pumpkins, and we carved pumpkins! And then, of course, we roasted the pumpkin seeds.yum! After a brief doctor's visit (I have somehow developed impingement syndrome in...

La Bibliothèque: You just can't go wrong with Neil Gaiman.
http://beckybookreviews.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-just-cant-go-wrong-with-neil-gaiman.html
Becky's humble opinions of various books. Monday, July 6, 2009. You just can't go wrong with Neil Gaiman. I don't know, maybe I'm biased. I've liked everything I've ever read by Neil Gaiman. Or maybe he's just that good. At any rate, his book of short stories, Smoke and Mirrors. Is fantastic. The stories in the book all have a magical quality to them, but they vary widely. "Chivalry" could almost be described as a cute. Also, READ THE INTRODUCTION! Just trust me on this one. Posted by Becky Robison.

La Bibliothèque: A screaming comes across my brain.

Becky's humble opinions of various books. Friday, June 26, 2009. A screaming comes across my brain. 0 14 02.8338 2. The first line of. Is "A screaming comes across the sky." This line is describing the sound of a German V2 rocket, but I thought it appropriate to parody this line for the title of my review because every time I read this book my brain hurt. If I read more than fifty pages at a time I started to feel as though I was going insane. The Crying of Lot 49. The Crying of Lot 49.

Teaching Frederick Douglass: August 2011
http://teachingfreddied.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. August 17th in a Series of Short Letters. I am deeply sorry for having disturbed your colony when I tried to pour myself a bowl of cereal this morning. It was terribly inconsiderate of me, especially the part where I unceremoniously dumped half a box of delicious cereal into the trash. Or the part where I cold-bloodedly drowned you in the sink to clean your swarming black bodies off the white porcelain bowl. Next time I will try to be more careful. Dear Donors' Choose -. I am ...

Teaching Frederick Douglass: May 2010
http://teachingfreddied.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. I am so glad that I am not held accountable to a script every day of teaching. Do you know how bored and frustrated kids get during a script? First I felt their attention drift. Then despondence settles in as all they want to do is get to testing, not listen to me talk. This deepens until I can feel each pair of eye staring daggers into me and my script. The near hate for the whole process is palpable by the end of those 15 minutes. Kids say the darndest things, part 2. Student: "Y...
