For people doing The Town Where Time Stands Still are you guys going to define what the genii loci is? I think it may be annoying for the marker if everyone does.

Thats awesome. what type of journeys are you? Im guessing not imaginative...

Stim- Road not taken
Pres- Tempest

I thought like 75% of the state did road not taken ?

Wow I'm absolutely amazed at most people doing the town where time stands still. Yet I guess on this site you are dealing with individuals more towards the top end of the state and not that 80% of standard kids who do the road not taken. Anyhow I'm doing:

Prescribed: Robert Benigni's 'Life is beatiful'
Stimulus: Shirley Lim "The town where time stands still"
Self chosen: Disclosed (but I will tell you I'm only doing one text).

In the town where time stands still I indirectly define the Geni Locki as part of my argument. No where near saying something like "The Geni Locki can be defined as the spiritual essence inside each of us blablabal..."
