Napoleon dynamite fan club, aka, another wednesday night class (subtitled: can you feel the synergy????)
did the title entice you to read more?
so we're about 4 weeks into school now and i am just now realizing that the teacher of my wednesday night class is mad for nap. dynamite. like totally bananas for that movie. i think she has mentioned it each week. if not each, then probably 3/4 weeks. how does nap. dynamite deal with library science you ask... well one time she mentioned "skills" and then she starts laughing thinking about Napoleon. THEN tonight, nap. get's named dropped TWICE people. once our doctoral candidate teacher said a online public access catalog (that's OPAC to the initiated) was "SWEET" (plus he's british, so it was even better). then shows us a complex cataloguing record (MARC record) and it's for NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and she proceeds to read the description of the item, which involves "sweet skills". i guess teachers have lives too, but it's not often a teacher talks about such a weird movie in class you know? she's obviously a tv and movie junky (self proclaimed on day one when she made us introduce ourselves with the obligatory where we came from, what we want to do, and also our fav. tv shows....) so i don't think she is trying to do some kind of "I'm down with the kids" move.... anyway..
the second thing is that at my former place of employment we had a key word, a word that was used all the time, we even had committees on this topic: SYNERGY. i know it's a big corporate world word, but i can't even tell you how it makes me want to crack up when i hear it. now in school it's cropping up all over the place... so funny to me (and probably me only...)
tomorrow is my day off, yeah. i don't know what i will do, but i really must get out and do something... i will not be boring tomorrow....
PS, while looking for a napoleon dynamite photo on flickr, i have now seen WAY TOO MANY photos of people wearing their vote for pedro shirts.

I love that movie!!! On the train ride home yesterday, I started thinking about Halloween and which ND character I could be. >:D
Whenever I hear the word "synergy," I think of Jem & the Holograms.
