Arts (criticism thread)

[nak]

why don't they just change the name The Victorian 'Supernatural' into Victoria's Secret.

then we can change this:

Brendan, when I went to learn more about Nymphs, Sluts and Madonnas, I found I was sexing the self again.

into Brendan, when I went to learn more about Nymphs, Sluts and Madonnas, I found I was sexing the self again in my Victoria's Secret.

Alas, I sexed myself so much already this year that I have already obtained a credit exemption from the subject.

Chronic masturbation aside, they wouldn't be subjects that most students would take seriously. I wonder how long they'll last, haha

Does anyone else have the problem with older people (Ie. your parents) having this idea that an Arts degree has to do with painting and drawings etc... LOL
No matter how many times I explain to my wog parents they fail to distinguish Arts with courses like "Fine Arts"

yeah I hate it when people ask me what i'm doing

"what are you doing?"
"bachelor of arts"
"...what, like painting?"

Oh Brendan you are a very clever man, let's just bump the Arts Criticism thread so it can be placed in the spotlight once again...

 Hey Nick, what happened to Steve's blog at vcehistory.info? It could have provided some good ripostes, I remember one post where he said historians were often best placed to be political commentators
 

[Nick]

I think you can only access the blog through the vcehistory.info forum.

I can't access the forum because I was a member last year.

Do you do Revs?

 Did it in 2006, had a shizer teacher, so was much grateful to have Steve, Comrade Tom and other learned comrades to answer my questions. Sad that hardly anyone said thank-you [I did] at the end of the year, it was one of the reasons for him deciding to charge a small fee. Still, considering the depth of the resources and his attentiveness and efficiency in answering qs, $28 is nothing, I'd recommend it to every Revs student
