"You speak nonsense, I'll speak the truth. We'll see what comes of it." That was one of my favorite lines from Ran the latest film from my IAC class. It had that epic (long), delibrate (slow) feel that most Kurosawa films have. Rather enjoyable overall. Confession: I've never read King Lear, which this film is based on. I'm a fake Englishy person.

On the bright side, I'm slowly getting grading done. I've made a little deal with myself, which I rarely do because I generally don't trust myself to stick with the bargins. This time I've been good. Grading four papers = one episode of Buffy.
