Journalism Class - Wednesday October 5

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Outside the door of the Journalism Classroom is a sandwich board which reads:

Emergency Political Headquarters for the Student Newspaper
Free food, drink and computer terminals within.

Inside, Spider is again distracted, working on something on his laptop. The screen behind him is lit up, however, and reads the following:

Attention Students:

Today's discussion topic, as most of you have guessed, is 'Ugliness'. I am going somewhere with this, be patient. I'm also not participating yet for a very specific reason.

The rest of the screens are dark and in the back of the classroom are several large coffee machines, a huge tray of various pastries and sandwiches and a small refridgerator and microwave. Arranged in that area are several computers obviously borrowed from the school lab and a large sign that reads:

Emergency Political Headquarters

Xander nods. "Some ugly is kind of interesting, too, when it's not eeeaghgh-run-away-run-away ugly. Like if it's chasing me with tentacles, no thanks, but otherwise, there's a sort of weird fascination thing."

Angela nods. "Right. There's the whole fascination people have with the grotesque."
