And maybe a monocle, too.

This morning, my Creative Writing professor was going on about how, when T.S. Eliot was a visiting lecturer at Harvard, he used to go around in a bowler and a three piece suit. Which got me thinking -- if I ever become as prolific a writer as Eliot, what will my affectation be? Immediately, the thought that sprang to mind was: handlebar mustache.

The rest of the week rounded up nicely. TESOL will be a bit of work (and will prove to be an exercise in patience more than anything else), but I'm excited by the work and by the enthusiasm of my classmates. Two-thirds of them are from China and it's really the first time that I've been exposed to that much cultural diversity in one of my courses. At the end of the semester, we'll team up to teach a class to one of the foreign language labs on campus. It will be my first teaching experience. I'm nervous, but optimistic.

Todd and I went to see "The Unborn" this afternoon. BLACCH. Not even the mendastic fantastic Gary Oldman could save that movie.

Meanwhile, The Cure frontman Robert Smith Matt Smith gives an extended interview about being chosen as the 11th Doctor. CUTE.
