Lectured for the first time today. About 15 minutes short of material. How on earth do profs do it? I literally gave the ENTIRE history of theatre and labour (and inserted some jabs at Stephen Harper in the process). And still. 15 minutes short. Obviously the key to academic success lies in slow talking.

In my media studies seminar today the discussion of the intersection between class and race turned into a discussion of the Cosby Show. I think the prof brought it up as an alternative to using Obama as an example. At any rate, everybody was so damn knowledgeable about that show that it was quite amusing. Behold the power of (80's sitcom) television over our lives. . .
