Feb 9, 2009 Notes

Mr. Lazarow was at a convention over the weekend, leaving him fairly drained, that's why he wasn't on the prowl around the school today. Anyway, there was a panel that got canceled, stuff happened, and he took over the panel, got an interview afterward, and was subsequently hired to do a column for said interviewing party. There'll be a podcast of his interview up in about a week as of this date.

Aside from that, there was a class discussion on whether or not graphic novels should be taught as part of a curriculum. As a form of art, I agree whole-heartedly that it should be taught, but that's just me. There was something about Watchmen, but you'll need to ask another classmate for details or ask Mr. Lazarow.

We had a brief discussion of Hamlet regarding 2-1, discussing Polonius's methods of spying on his son. The technique he uses can be best summed up as "tell lies to get the truth," wherein the party that spies asks details of Laertes regarding his whereabouts, some of which can be slanderous, and, based on that, the people will either agree or disagree with said rumors.

Oh, and don't forget those tables.

(Again, I suck at taking notes, so you may need someone else to fill you in on the details.)
