Sexual Education [08/17] - Thursday Afternoon

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Hey, guys. Easy day today," Becky said. "We're eating."

She gestured to a table in front of her, where there was a rather odd assortment of foods.

"These? Are all considered natural aphrodisiacs by people," she told them. "Whether that's true or not seems to be a personal issue for every individual."

( But we're going to talk about them anyway )

"You're all free to try the food, or rub a little of the oils on your skin - probably behind your ears or on the insides of your wrists," she advised. "If they work, don't have sex in class where I can see you, and remember to wear a condom. Otherwise, go nuts, boys and girls."

Library, Thursday, 8/17

[chasingangela]

Angela comes in early and strangely alert for her next-to-last time in the library alone, at least until the new librarian starts.

And depending on who the next librarian is, it may be her next-to-last time, period. Because she's pretty much decided that if the next librarian is another one with fur, she's going to take it as a bad sign and quit before Special Collections eats her.

But today? She's mostly sorting through some new books that have come in over the summer and twirling on her stool while she waits for people to have bookish needs.

Screen Acting, Thursday Afternoon

[actingreaper]

The usual mess of film equipment had been cleared up, though Daisy was perched as usual on the edge of the desk.

"I want you guys to keep working on your video projects outside of class this week. We'll be watching whatever you've got done next week in class. This week, I thought we'd talk about something that's very important for every actor, stage or screen, to keep in mind: type casting."

Daisy stood and started pacing. "Type casting, for those of you who've been living under a rock, or in outerspace, of 100 years in the past all their lives, is when you're always called upon to play the same role, over and over again. Take me, for example. Outside of community theater, I am never going to be asked to play anyone over the age of 35. Odds are good that I will be cast as a romantic lead, not a quirky friend. Every now and then I might get a role as the heinous bitch that steals the romantic lead's love interest, but that doesn't happen that often. I'm not generally the bad guy, I'm not generally a character, I am the girl next door that all the guys want to be with.

Daisy relaxed again. "Now, I don't generally have a problem with being type cast. But it might be nice, especially for my fans, to get to see me stretch out my acting abilities and play, say, the evil genius mastermind bent on taking over the world, instead of just the spy's girlfriend. Either way, it's very important as an actor to be aware of what type you present to directors when you audition, so you can play to your strengths. I would like each of you today to figure out what your 'type' is. Are you the angsty youngest child, or the obnoxious neighbor? An evil mastermind, or a generic ass? I also want you to 'type' your fellow students. What character are they most likely to play?" Daisy grinned a bit wickedly. "Don't spare people's feelings here, now. This is very important for them to know. Hop to!"

[ooc: I'll be AFK for awhile before I get to work, then Daisy's interactiveness will depend on how busy we are. Tonight I'm having dinner with the fam, so I'll be AFK for awhile then, too. OCD is up, yay!]

Wilderness Survival Redux - Week 6 | Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto looked far from happy as she addressed the class, giving a brief, yet highly informative, lecture on snares and pit traps.

"However," she added. "These particular style of traps fall down when you want to catch a nocturnal animal without doing harm to it, as they often react badly to the approach of day, or are in fact harmed by excessive light. Your job today is to try and devise a trap which would trap a large, nocturnal animal without doing it any harm. You can do this either on your own or in groups."
