so this is a week w/o journals b/c you have an incredibly hard final to study for… 🙂

“keeper of the flame” – book on the history/future of NFL films – irony on many levels in that NFL films has a mythologized past b/c they created a mythologized NFL through their videos – which are classic – both in content and voice – of course, today, media has changed and the book did a wonderful job describing the “threats” to those films – and there’s a very real threat just in the sense that the times have changed for that type of filming

“the gifted” by anna kathyrn davis – so it would’ve made me a better teacher to have read this one, oh, like a year ago – b/c as I read, I kept trying to go back to the Q&A at WIM last year in Pelham – alas… anyway, I guess better late than never – hey, I waited until ’08 for twilight and ’07 for potter so I might as well to wait on this one – still, having heard two presentations by davis, I feel bad it took this long to get it and read it – and, thankfully – unlike most YA, it reads quickly and painlessly – I definitely stand with fred on wondering exactly how a sequel is coming about

so that’s it for the week – again, no journals – but happy postings
