Discussing tentacles in class

breakinglight11Been slightly headachy for the last couple of days. Not sure why. Thought it was because I don't usually drink enough, but drinking doesn't seem to be helping.
My summer course started this week. It's a literature class called Modern American Short Story, taught by the highly recommended William Flesch. I still wish I didn't have to take the class-- I'm losing hours at work and I'll have a full course's workload crammed into a month, not to mention my knees start to bug me if I sit for three hours at a time --but I'm liking him and it seems like it will be at least reasonably interesting. He asked us to suggest possible short stories to read in class. Among others, I suggested something by Lovecraft. :-) It'd crack me up if we actually read one. I'd be amused as hell to have to discuss the symbolism of tentaculous beasts that can wipe the minds of men.
I still can't hear anything that sounds like "flesh" without hearing Frances's crazy intoning of "Ooooone fleeeeesh." I love my adorable psychotic little Hamlet.
