Naughty Bits

The Continuing saga of Romeo and Juliet...

  • Reading - check
  • Final Exam - check
  • Movie Version - oh... yah...

Zifferelli version includes nakedness. I remember distinctly from my own sophomore year the shock of seeing a naked butt in a movie in school (ok, actually I remember there was a naked butt - not what it looked like or anything surrounding the appearance. Otherwise, nothing but the dresses and dancing. I was such a geek, I didn't really care). One thing I don't remember was naked boobs... was this part cut out? The version I have shows everything but an actual penis or vagina. I'm a little uncomfortable in showing this, but apparently not only is the movie in our own library at school, other teachers show it to their classes. Am I a total prude?

Addendum: Two classes saw all the naughty bits and were mostly adult about it (they are freshmen), one got the fastforward - just the thought of it had them hopping in their seats...

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head).

Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
