on 24: Yes, but somehow, they want us to think it did.
I think that Orly just wants to find an island adjacent to Johnny's.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait. A Fan fic writer was genre bashing?
Yep. She has no problem with shipping characters (she writes Harry Potter and Star Wars fic, mostly), but when it comes to reading "drivel" such as a romance, I guess it's beneath her. Really disappointing, because she really is one of my favorite HP ficcers.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm out of learning/teaching modes on that one.
ita, I used to teach flying, not martial arts, but to break the "You aren't" "Yes I am" "No you aren't" cycle, I found that some students respond to qualitative adjustments ("Do that more" or "Do less of that") and some respond to quantities ("That wasn't far enough. Whatever that felt like, try twice as much, and see where you end up. Then we'll look at it again.").

Last year when I tried curling and wiped out, the instructors were actually really impressed by how well I'd fallen.
Heh. Nah, they were just impressed you weren't me, and didn't fall down and break your arm (was this at the curling club outside DC?)
Obviously, I am on the "banging arms into doorways and tripping on my own pants cuffs and falling down the stairs" end of the gracefulness scale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found that some students respond to qualitative adjustments ("Do that more" or "Do less of that") and some respond to quantities ("That wasn't far enough. Whatever that felt like, try twice as much, and see where you end up. Then we'll look at it again.").
Thanks, dcp. I will focus on this distinction.

Are you ready to be strong?
I always use metaphors to teach stuff that people aren't getting when I describe them literally. It usually works, and when it doesn't at least it gets the students laughing. At me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We're watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame AIFG. I haven't liked a lot of earlier ones because I'm not a big awards show fan, but now TiVo lets us fast forward through the dull or cheesy parts so it's really fun to watch. Chrissie Hynde was wonderful and now, after an AMAZING speech by Bruce Springsteen, U2 is kicking ass.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm sorry I am missing that, Robin. I will have to remember to see if it will be reshown.
Plei, from way earlier, I take it back, and I hope Princess Ticky Box takes exactly as much time as she and you need.

Well, here's a belated wave back to Nilly from this morning - I left right after I posted. waves
Wish I were sleepy.
