flashback
Heathers was one of my favorite movies in the 90s (it came out in 1989). I was watching “Without a Trace” tonight and I thought one of the guest stars was the same woman who played the “main” Heather – Heather Chandler. I looked it up on imdb, but it wasn’t her. In fact, the woman who played Heather Chandler was Kim Walker – and she’s dead. Woah!
Check this out:

I also found out from that site the yearbook editor in Heathers (remember him from the lunchroom scenes?) is also dead. Freaky.

Here are the steps, as improved by nirak:
- The first article title on the Wikipedia Random Articles page is the name of your band.
- The last four words of the very last quotation on the Random Quotations page is the title of your album.
- Use the random word generator to generate a word.
- Use the word to search FlickrStorm (creative commons licensed photos) and the third picture will be your album cover. Or just choose any image. [Note: there was already a word in the search box on FlickrStorm, so I just used that.]
- Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together [I used picnik], and post the result.

new year, new semester
The spring semester officially starts on Monday, but they let students into my online class today. The university switched to a new online courseware system, which is very similar to the old one but different enough to make it a little more difficult. Just when I finally had the old one down, too!
In semesters past, I have used blogs to provide additional class info. I would post my all-class emails there, add news articles that have to do with our subject, and give directions for assignments. This semester, I plan to run the whole class from a blog. I also switched from blogger to wordpress.com (ability to create pages was one of the pluses). Each week’s introduction and reading list will be posted on the class blog. Students will still use the courseware system to post their weekly assignments and log in for grades. They will also create their own blogs.
I think this set up will work better for me, and for the students. We’ll see. I have been offered this teaching gig through the fall semester, and we’ll see about that, too.
