Lee, quit that gasdawful thwumping. You're getting headprints all over the desk.
You guys are like that sexy chick Tim met in the fetish store.
Mmmm, Adrienne Shelley. You should see her two Hal Hartley movies, Trust and The Unbelievable Truth.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
what is your favorite brand of coffee that you can buy in a grocery store? I need to find a good grocery store brand.
Blue Mountain.
However, the cost of the airline ticket to get to that particular grocery store could be problematic.

You know, there is still the whole innocent until proven guilty thing going on in this country. No, really. Granted, the guy's got some major issues, but I'm still not sold on the molestation issue.
That's where I am too, Connie.

"In our little community, word travels fast." But I think I've forgotten how to make mainstream chit-chat on the internets. Although, you're right askye, for a fandom whose top 10 moments include a scene entirely composed of "Fuck" and "Motherfucker." it does seem an odd situation. That scene was moving because those actors were so able to make those words carry all the emotional freight of a woman's murder and putting it down.

There's no possibility of an earlier backup, Lee?

vw, good on you!
Lee, sounds like a real PITA. I'm hoping for backups somewhere.
AmyLiz, it's been so long since I've been in school or my kids, I can't say what's "normal" homework for a seventh grader. It varies so much from school system to school system. One thing I'd like to put forward for consideration in the seeming lack of homework for a poetry unit is that a lot of the work may be getting done in class in a way where you, as a parent, are not going to see tangible results. I know in ninth grade I had very little take home work during those portions of the curriculum. We wrote extemporaneous poems during class that were read aloud as soon as we were done or handed in right then and there. We read famous poems aloud and discussed them. We were put into group sessions to write things that may or may not have been handed in, but we were actively doing something with the skills. But that wouldn't have been evident at home. Did you get a copy of the syllabus when your son started the year/semester? Perhaps having a look at it would give you a better idea if the amount of homework is appropriate for the unit.
