Based on my answers to this quiz, I have to wonder if the whole thing doesn't hinge on a single question.


The Princess Bride
I'm sure it's no big surprise to you that your
romance is The Princess Bride. A heartwarming
tale of "Twue Wuve" that has giants,
Spainards and swashbuckling. You really do
think that love can overcome anything. You may
be a touch naive but your heart is certainly in
the right place. You've probably got one of
those relationships where proper nouns have
been replaced with "Snookums" and
"Pookie Pie". Eww. Beware a cuteness
overload.

Last Thursday I went to an "audition" for Kaplan, the prep centre where I studied for the LSAT. When hiring new teachers they have you come in and present a five-minute lesson on the topic of your choice. I picked haiku writing. There were only three other guys with me. A British guy named Kevin told us about thermals. Steven prepared us for long-haul flights. And after watching Mike I can now assess people for heart attacks. It seems that everyone who teaches at Kaplan either has or is working on their Masters or PhD, so I felt a little out of place. But I guess the other guys sucked, cause I am now an employee of Kaplan. Unfortunately it won't be enough to allow me to quit TOCing.

And god how I want to quit....

If you have Realplayer and a high-speed connection, go to kcrw.com Morning Becomes Eclectic and listen to the Rufus Wainwright segment. In fact, listen to everything there - it's all brilliant. And if you like it, maybe make a donation.
