faustus | First Day of Teaching

We'll skip over the nightmare of persuading Vista to work - after what is the best part of six months being introverted, I was teaching very big. It doesn't help that I was having to say the name BRIAN BLESSED which demands to boom out and rattle the furniture, and curiously I found the need to say it several times, as well as digs at Lucas, Schwarzenegger and Sprout Boy. It was late in the day so they needed waking up and keeping awake. But. Can I keep the energy up.

This morning's lecture was also big and too long - the conflation of two lectures but not sufficiently cut. But I hope they know what is teasing and what is insult. Or maybe I hope they don't, in some cases.
