She was a "floating" teacher, who would visit our class each week when it was time for our music lesson.
Mrs Fisk had highly styled dyed red hair. Her sweaters were always tight against her torpedo breasts. Her nails were long and painted, and she favored bangle bracelets that clanged when she moved her arms.
Her manicure always made a better impression when she moved her arms.
She presided over our weekly school assemblies like a stern general. Proper attire was required ar these events, which meant jackets and ties for the gentlemen and dresses for the ladies. The white glove requirement hadn't been enforced for five or six years.
Anyone without a tie was dismissed as a "weed" that had to be removed, to be kept from spoiling her "beautiful garden."
Halloween always reminds me of Mrs Fisk. Maybe it's the orange...

Love me some Joel
Tonight on "The Soup," I confirmed what I had long suspected: they re-edit the show after its initial airing Friday nights. The second showing, which immediately follows the first, had some worthwhile ommissions.
Before going into the "Clip of the Week" segment, which featured three over-the-top gay judges from the "Crowns and Tiaras" pageants doing a guest gig of judging a "Glitz" pageant, Joel stressed that he was now officially LEAVING the segment which had immediately followed, called "What Your Boyfriend is Looking At." (This week's "WYBILA" segment featured a slick talker who was attempting to "entice" attractive young women at a pool party to work for his company, by complimenting them on their breasts and offering them full medical benefits for anything that might be ailing their vaginas.
When the show aired for the second time, Joel's disclosure about the Glitz segment specifically NOT being part of the WYBILA segment had been clipped out.
I'm just sayin'...

Today the SFGate paid a much deserved paeon to Berkeley Repertory Theater and the incredible work that they do.
The current production, "American Idiot," has been extended through November 17. Go.
