keep on bloggin...

i'm finding i'm losing momentum here with the ol' blog...maybe i'm just too occupied to write real posts...anyways...

i started watching fahrenheit 9/11 with one of my classes today...i hadn't seen it since it came out in the theatres...there is one scene that really struck me when i first saw it, and continues to bother me when i see it now...it's a totally black screen with just the sounds of september 11th...the plane hitting the tower, the screaming, the sirens...then there are images of new yorkers reacting in the streets...you never see the towers burning or the rubble...it's just image after image of people staring, horrified into the sky...every time i see it, it makes me really upset...those scenes are more powerful than the actual image of the plane hitting the tower...it instantly takes me back to that day and and the sadness and anxiety of watching those events unfold on tv...

on a positive note, i'm quite impressed that my students requested to watch this movie...i asked them what they wanted to see and this was their first choice...

the week is flying by...tomorrow i'm heading into lille to watch sex and the city and make a much needed trip to the yarn store...quite girly, eh? i've been inspired by my new book, stitch and bitch nation...i need a new knitting project...i'm tired of doing scarfs...i think i'm finally ready to try something more advanced...what exactly, i'm not sure...
