[OOC: More on the attendance policy. Because the classes are so close together, Thursday's class is only open for 24 hours for checking in and participation. Major discussions will be held on Friday's class. Friday's class will be open until Monday for participation. If you need longer due to RL issues, you'll have to contact me OOCly and let me know.]


This afternoon there is a big stash of jellybeans on the table. There is also a stack of hot, individually wrapped Big Kahuna burgers and cans of soda if anyone wants them. And, of course, there are the obligatory Twinkies. Ted would probably not notice if people who weren't in the class stopped by for a grab-and-run.




"Afternoon, dudes and dudettes! Today we're gonna map the multiverse so we know where everything is. The multiverse is a mysteeeeerious place. Anything you thought that wasn't real probably is real somewhere. Like, in the Ancient Rome in my universe they spoke Roman. But in someone else's Ancient Rome they might speak, like, Elvish or Muppet or Dutch. So, like, the music in one copy of a place and time doesn't mean that it's like that in every copy of that place and time.

So where does this leave us, my most excellent student-type dudes? With lots and lots of copies of every time and place that exists. Don't worry dudes, you won't need to know everywhere and everytime. In this class we're gonna look at a couple of different times and places so you can get a feel for the idea that music comes from everywhere and everyone can enjoy music and, uh, MUSIC ROCKS!"

Discussion Topic:
"So. Today we're gonna get a feel for the multiverse. Not, like, feeling it up or anything. Some of you have been students at Fandom High for a few months. Some of you are new here. Talk among yourselves about how you understand the multiverse. Like, how you picture it and deal with the weirdness."

Homework for Next Week:
"For next week's Thursday class, I want you to find out about some kind of 20th or 21st century Earth music." [OOC: Bonus points for fandomy music] "Come ready to tell me some stuff about it."

Xander poked his head into the room, grinned, grabbed, and ran. Leaving Ted a computer-lab-burned CD of Metallica's latest album, which was totally not illicitly downloaded last night among other things that were totally not illicitly downloaded last night.

Jessica gracefully approaches the sign in table and signs her name. "Hello, good afternoon," she says to the teacher with a short wave and a big smile, then turns to take her seat.

How do you see the multiverse? How do you wrap your head around it? How the hell do you deal with the weirdness of it all?

Re: Discussion Topic

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I see the multiverse as pretty much an infinity of timelines where for every possibility there is a different line. In the end it's the line that you're living that only matters because if you stand still about all the choices that you didn't make or that could have been made, you're going to drive yourself insane."

"Denial. Ignorance. Heavy Drinking. Hiding under the bed in the fetal position sucking my thumb. Cricket bats. Frequent use of snark."

Er, Professor? I have a question. Well, more like a favor to ask, really.
