Week 15 Review

Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling

Since the thing I enjoyed the most this semester was the storytelling, I thought I'd post this from this week's announcements.

Week 14 Review

My favorite content from this week's announcements was the small blurb at the end of Saturday's announcements concerning the legend of Krampus. I married into a German family, so I've heard of Krampus before. My husband's grandparents came to America from Bavaria and all of their children, and grandchildren were raised speaking at least some German.

Another version of Krampus is Belsnickel, which is really best described in this video clip from The Office.

Week 13 Review

Just scrolling through this week's announcements, the first thing that caught my eye was the Dante's Inferno of Academics. I actually just finished a paper for an independent study comparing Inferno with a Russian novel called Moscow to the End of the Line. I had already read Inferno, but I feel intimately connected to this academic comparison!
