Kids can be so cruel...

I was going through some old journals/diaries I used to keep in middle school and high school and came across some pretty strange profiles for a few of the teachers I had at the time. I blacked out the names to protect the (not so) innocent.

I had no idea I was so judgemental back then. "Air head"? "Clothes clash & wears wig"? I love that I note the "hard tests she gives".


I'm a tad upset by my use of language in this set of profiles and the attack on a teacher for apparently acting "like a gay". I was probably just jealous. At least I had one person I liked, my counselor, Mrs. BLANK. Pretty!


Kids are so cruel. I do like the Poltergeist II reference in this, though.

Day Twenty Seven: House of Stairs , William Sleator. Five kids find themselves trapped in a bizarre environment: a world made up entirely of flights of stairs, forming an incomprehensible labyrinth. The kids are forced to interact for survival.  Amazing young adult sci-fi by one of the best, most creative authors, the late William Sleator. The book reminded me of the 1997 film, Cube . Copies can be found on Amazon .

Unforgettable: Revisited

About five years ago I started profiling different character actors that I was particularly fascinated with. It was a fun project, but I quickly stopped after a few entries. I decided to pick the idea back up again and write some new thoughts about my favorite performers. Glenn Shadix (1952-2010)   I first noticed Glenn (as I'm sure most people did) in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice (1988), where he played Otho, the snotty interior designer. It was a funny and memorable role and he got to deliver some great lines. The famous quote, "Don't mind her. She's still upset because somebody dropped a house on her sister", was his own and he was thrilled that Burton let him use it in the famous "Day-O" dinner scene. Soon after, I began seeing him in more films, like his bits in Heathers (1989), Meet the Applegates (1991), Sleepwalkers (1992) and his second most well-known role, as Associate Bob in Demolition Man (1993). I loved his role
