YES! C.R.A.Z.Y. is an awesome movie! Watch it.

I’ll add it to my list right now.

I’m teaching LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) Prep for Kaplan Test Prep. My classroom is located on the Xavier University campus. It does neat the hell out of retail, but after the test is administered in June, it leaves me without any guaranteed hours the rest of the summer until I start school in August. I’ll probably be looking for a summer job again.

Poster Boy wasn’t as good as I’d hoped, but it wasn’t terrible. A little preachy and apologetic for assimilationist/conservative gay men, which is a big turn-off for me.

Well, only 7 of the 8 enrolled showed up for the diagnostic test that is our first day of class, so I’m not sure yet if that 8th student is bright. Evidence would indicate otherwise, but I’m willing to be swayed by future performance.

One great movie of the genre I haven’t seen anyone mention much is C.R.A.Z.Y., a French-Canadian film (In French, with subtitles if you need them) about five brothers, one of whom is gay and trying to deal with it, growing up in an all-male household with their father. Complex, real, quirky, funny. Highly recommended. And…where are you teaching, and what? I see a bit about studying for SATs or something but that doesn;t tell me much. Bet it beats the ever-living hell out of retail, dunnit?

Oh yeah. and I really want to see Poster Boy. And Can’t Get a Date is really fun. My boyfriend and I watched that a couple weeks ago on Netflix.

I heard about Natasha last night at rehearsal for Temple’s production of Cabaret. One of the assistant directors was talking about a chimpanzee at the St. Louis Zoo and then adds “Oh. And Natasha Richardson died today.” The director and choreographer freaked out. Luckily, he was wrong, but apparently not too far off.

That Natasha Richardson accident happened about 100 miles from where I live. Very freaky. I hope that she is able to make a full recovery. Congrats to your sister and mojo for a sticky 9 months. So if you have 7-8 bright students in the class, how many not-so-bright students? Hopefully not 37.

Oh my God, I hadn’t heard about Natasha Richardson. That’s horrible…I can’t believe it.

And, yes, Get Real is fantastic.
