No More Sweeney Todd

Published by flit at 10:02 am under fiction Edit This

We’re moving on from Sweeney Todd in my Textual Transmissions course… next up is The Beggars Opera, then The Threepenny Opera, The Berlin Stories, I Am A Camera, andCabaret.

Should be interesting - at least we’ll be moving through them a bit faster than we did Sweeney Todd :)

Sure wish I could have seen last night’s episode of Good Eats. Steph the Rocket Scientist told me about it though - almost as good :) They had a Sweeney Todd episode, in which they made Shepherd’s Pie - complete with straight razors, barbershop ~customers~ and silly jokes/puns.

Hoping someone will put it online at some point - got Tamara checking for it for me :)

I ordered the first of the Twilight books yesterday because so many of you mentioned it. Talked to Steph’s daughter about it - she assures me that even though it is about vampires - which I detest!!! - I will enjoy it. We’ll see. She also recommended another book for my research, so I ordered that too. I’m happy to have the younger on my msn now … chatting as research :)

    Yeah, chatting as public texts. I bet you will enjoy reading them. They’re very popular.
