I Win at eBay

Remember how I told you guys you better hook me up with some synopses and analyses of major works of English literature? Well, y’all are all fired.

Except Margo who gave me three in-person lessons on poetry. Or, as I like to say it, POW-tree.

And Kate, who helped me create some study objectives.

And Big E, who discussed lit with me over lunch and lent me a bunch of her grad school books.

And Cat, who recommended a really good poetry text with which to study and listed everything she read in high school so I could write it down.

And my dad, who gave me what I call the nuclear option: if I don’t understand the exam question, I’m just going to write, “If anything’s consistent about Shakespeare, it’s silly fucking plots.”

Everybody else, though, you’re all fired. But NEVER MIND. I figured out a way to pass.

That’s not even all of them.

  1. I have no synopses or analyses. But I can lend you any Shakespeare work you want. And also the Oxford Book of English Verse. And I will also recite random sonnets at you and make you analyze them while doing WODs.

  7. Goddammit! I did forget. Cat, you are not fired. (But every time I amend the post, the video goes away and I have to re-paste the html. I’ll fix it later. I’m running late right now.)

    Anna C, ha! Thanks! I went to a wedding. I try to take a picture or a video of myself every time I put on make-up, since it happens so seldom. You know, kill two birds with one stone.

  9. Aw! Phil! I mean, it’s nice to hear from women and gay men, but—I don’t know—there’s something validating about being called hot by a straight male.
