Remembering Marcia Wallace

Thanks for entertaining us, Ms. Wallace!

Good Monday Afternoon, Everybody!

Before I begin today’s blog post, I want to take this time out to acknowledge the sudden passing of actress Marcia Wallace.

This past Saturday, October 26, 2013, Ms. Wallace passed away at the age of 70 years old. While my Gramma Jewel may remember her as the witty secretary on The Bob Newhart Show back in the day, I remember her as the voice of Edna Krabappel on The Simpsons. Truth be told, y’all—Mrs. Krabappel was my favorite character, probably more so because she was a teacher. In hindsight, I can see clearly that Ms. Wallace truly brought Mrs. Krabappel to life. I’m pretty sure that the producers of The Simpsons will do some kinda of tribute to the memory of Ms. Wallace, and perhaps even retire her Mrs. Krabappel character, but whatever they do, I will most definitely come back to watch that particular episode.

Having said my piece, there’s only one thing left to say: Thanks for the memories, Ms. Wallace!

Well, y’all—ain’t much to talk about today. It’s another day in the life of a Rustite, and all is well. Of course, there’s still the mystery of my secret admirer, but since I don’t have any new clues as to who he is, I’ve given it a rest and decided to go on with my life, per se. Besides, I can’t let anything distract me from this project in my Fine Arts class. Check this out: I’ve got to write a two-page critique of a painting or some type of artwork—I’ve gotta explain its strengths, weaknesses, and all that good stuff. This is gonna be a challenge for sure, because I don’t know how to critique anything, and what’s so kiddin’ about it, I cringe at the word “critique” on account of it sounds too much like the word “critic.” Fortunately, the assignment is due this Friday, so I’ll have to find some type of artwork that I truly love.

Y’all be sure to say a prayer for your girl—this assignment sounds like it’s gonna be a toughie!

Well, it looks like I’m gonna have to close this post so I can get started on my Fine Arts project, but I’ll definitely be talkin’ to y’all tomorrow. Until then, y’all take care, and have a good rest-of-the-day.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
