Foreign Lit/Classics, 3/02, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"Hello.

As we discussed Monday, you should turn in the written portions of your midterms today. They are to be critical reactions to the appropriate readings, 100 words for Classics students, 200 words for Foreign Literature.

Miss Santos, Mr. Dane, and Miss Bristow, you have been granted extensions to the end of break to complete these. Email them to me by March 10.

After you have turned in your papers, you may watch a film.

I will see you on the 13th, when Classics students will begin studying Latin and literature students will commence reading Asian literature."

Movie time, 3/2

Watch the film, or chat.

Watching a movie is exactly what the doctor ordered. Even if it does require a bit more concentration to read the English subtitles than she necessarily wanted it to.

Alas, she does fall asleep about twenty minutes in.

"Mrpphrggle." Nadia mutters, then cracks open an eye. "Hm?"

Re: Movie time, 3/2

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia's eyes widened slightly. Sleeping in Dream's class . . . she shuddered slightly. "Thanks."

Re: Movie time, 3/2

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia rubbed at her head slightly. "Okay, I guess. You?"

Anders watches the movie. Sort of. He's totally lost because he has no idea what anybody is saying, and the subtitles go a little bit too fast for him to follow.

The colors are pretty, though.

Janet watched the film, and started thinking about learning a European language instead of focusing solely on ancient languages.

Maybe Liz would get here soon and she could ask her if the subtitles were accurate.

"Hey," Elizabeth sighed, slipping into the seat next to her.

Re: Movie time, 3/2

[janet_fraiser]

"What's wrong?" asked Janet, frowning a little.

Liz might notice the surgical gloves stuck to Janet's hands. One of them had a pen sticking out of the glove in a couple of places.

"Tired," Elizabeth replied, a slight whine in her voice.

She glanced across at Janet and frowned. "What have you been doing? Or do I not want to know?!"

Re: Movie time, 3/2

Janet glared at the gloves. "My hands have somehow developed the ability to stick to everything they touch," she said. "I had to kick over my backpack and practically contort myself into a pretzel to get these gloves on so I could change my clothes and eat."

Re: Movie time, 3/2

Elizabeth winced. "Okay, that's just bizzare," she said. "Do you need a hand with anything?" She groaned. "No pun intended."

Re: Movie time, 3/2

[janet_fraiser]

Janet sighed. "I'm having a hard time getting anything done," she said. "Except taking notes." She held the hand with the pen stuck to it up to Liz. "And changing clothing is tough."

"Well, when you need some help, just grab me. Um. Not literally."

Hamlet watches the movie. He doesn't quite get everything because the subtitles are fast and the spoken French faster, but he gets the gist of it. He's also very glad that his dead Father's never talked to him in the form os a piggy lamp or an album of ripped-up pictures of weirdos.

Re: Movie time, 3/2

Anders looks over at Hamlet. "Are you as lost as I am? Because I'd be confused even if it was in something I could understand."

"As far as I can tell, she is a strange girl who collects unwanted photostrips of strangers, who one day meets a strange boy who works at a carnival and decides to make him go on a scavenger hunt because she loves him. Or something to that nature. Also, inanimate objects talk to her. And possibly him as well.

Re: Movie time, 3/2

"Inanimate objects talk to her?" Anders raises his eyebrows. "Okay, that's crazy. Like, too crazy for Fandom even, crazy."

He shrugs. "So far all I got is that the colors are kinda nifty."

Re: Movie time, 3/2

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

*He shrugs.*

"It's a good thing it's just a movie having inanimate objects talk to you in real life is probably a sign of insanity.

All these reds and greens do make the scenes very vivid. The constant accordion music all reinforces the fact that this is a French movie."

Re: Movie time, 3/2

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders just nods as if all of this makes perfect sense to him. Well, okay, the sign-of-insanity part makes sense.

"I'd try and learn French if I thought it'd do me any good when I got home. It sounds really nice. But what would I do with it back on Caprica?"

"Impress women? Fling insults at people without them knowing what you've said? Act snooty to others and pretend that you understand wine and cheese and fine art?"
