Camelot, duh-winter yard pic
I guess I ain't got no culture. I left the production of Camelot last night before the last 2 scenes and the Grand Finale. According to 1d, I may have missed the high point of the whole show, where Guinevere gives her hanky to Lancelot. I shall have to surf a little to find out how it ends and write my reviw. And I did go with an unbiased mind, having never seen either the Broadway or Hollywood version. Nine scenes in the first act and 5 in the second. Uh-hh-h-hh. The costuming was nice and must have cost a bundle. All the guys wore knee high boots and the females had several changes of medieval costuming. I wonder who funds this group's production? It was not a packed house, and tickets were $8-10 apiece so I am sure not a huge amount of money comes from that direction. My review is not supposed to be based on opinion, just on certain play criteria which I don't know much about yet, so I will just store all this info in my brain for a few weeks. The review only has to be three paragraphs long, and answer the criteria questions. The film review for English class is much more involved, a paper of 3 to 5 pages on a current release. I sure don't want to watch some of the new releases and some innocuous new ones would have very little to review. 2w offers the suggestion of 'I, Robot' as having serious moral and ethical issues in it that could be addressed. Other breaking news is that I will no longer be alone in my library classroom on Fridays. A librarian from a local elementary school will be joining me. She only applied as an aide 6 years ago and they put her in as Librarian, and now she wants to get a little official learning. She is 60, so I guess maybe there are opportunities if I wanted them, at the elementary level, anyway. What I see right now that I would perhaps like to do after graduation is be an aide in a High School library, or have at least 20 hours a week in a public library. The work load would be more mental than physical, the salary would be adequate, and there would be benefits. In both types of situations, there would be enough going on to keep one mentally refreshed and challenged. The public position would be most like what I would want, socially and time-wise. Dream on, kdip. It is snowing again, small flakes but heavy fall. The old snow only melted off of walk areas and roads so no bare ground for a while. I think I will make a hamburger stew today. I have lots of canned vegetables and bought more this week when they were 25 cents a can. Maybe some dumplings too, but I will pull out some juice and make them in a separate pan so 800 can choose. Cold grey snow days always inspire me to make soup or chowder. Years ago, when we had all the kids and very little money, I would make crackers, too. Everyone liked them even if I did break them into funny shapes. I'd just roll out the dough and stretch it over the backs of the cakepans and cookie pans, score and prick with a fork, bake it, then break it up when cool into more crackerlike sizes.
