So true, Hilary.
I’m happy and I can thank myself
If it were up to you I’d be in my bed crying
But I’m happy and I know that makes you mad
After all the things you put me through
I’m finally getting over you
All the bitterness has passed
And I only wish you
Someone who could do what I can’t
If it were up to you I’d be in my bed crying
But I’m happy and I know that makes you mad
After all the things you put me through
I’m finally getting over you
All the bitterness has passed
And I only wish you
Someone who could do what I can’t

The Talking Heads "Radiohead"
Baby your mind is a radio
Got a receiver inside my head
Baby I'm tuned to your wavelength
Lemme tell you what it says:
Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...of a brand-new world.
So look at my fingers vibrate
From their tip down down to my toes
Now I'm receiving your signal
We're gonna leave the land of noise
Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...of a brand-new world.
Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world.
Now you and I have no secrets
Now baby, lemme read your mind
I hear ev'rything you're thinking
You can't help the way you sound
Transmitter!
Picking up something good.
Hey! Radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world
Oh! Radio Head
Radio Head
Radio Head
Radio Head
Thanks, David :)

We're reading (or in my case, rereading) Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi) over the summer, and I'm psyched. I was originally upset, because it's replacing Hamlet in the IB junior English curriculum. But I'll be studying Hamlet this fall with the High School Fellowship Program at the Folger, then I'll be studying it in IB senior English, so I'm set :) Anyway, I just love the fact that IB thinks outside of the box and chooses books for its English curricula that other schools wouldn't. A number of my classmates (who have yet to even read the book!) have already written it off as a simple "comic book," or an "easy read." However, there are major themes and serious stories and issues conveyed in this book, and the visual component just adds a whole other dimension to analyze. In short, I'm really excited to study this from a scholarly perspective. It'll be interesting to get a chance to write an essay about how the illustrator also helps to convey the themes and ideas of the novel.
