d_aulnoyDear Hallway Monster:
I have come to terms with your occasionally hilarious blasting of loud bursts of music at significant portions of my lectures (see: Billy Holiday during my discussion of the relationship between Lewis Carrol and Alice Pleasance Liddell, wailing lament as I discuss the death of Aslan, and, worse (much worse), the bad rap which caused my class to segue into a discussion of what person/class could be playing said bad rap, i.e., "Oh, hell no, that better not be a Black Studies class" as we were discussing Toni Morrison). I understand, a Hallway Monster needs to do what a Hallway Monster needs to do.
However.
If you could avoid creating noises that sound suspiciously like gunshots when I am in the middle of teaching, I would appreciate it. Because, while I won a cheap laugh off of "This class brought to you by our resident giant!", I'd appreciate not seeing my students collectively perk their ears like a nest of rabbits.
Love,
d_aulnoy
Unrelatedly: so,on "Lost" this season, we keep hearing mention of "The Oceanic Six." Think we've seen them all? Because, as far as I can tell, we are now technically at six, but two of the members are ... negotiable.
Well, maybe not so unrelatedly: I kind of like picturing my Hallway Monster as a billowing black cloud of smoke. Then again, I like picturing myself as John Locke.
