I think I see "theologically" and "contentious", but after that?
I think "wayward" and "unsound" are worth more than a quarter. I'm a fan of "endorse" too.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Add "commend" to the list. Anyway, half the online grammar quizzes check to see whether you know the difference between "commend" and "comment."

And Beecher and Robson acted out something like it on Oz, with the car crash being replaced by malicious intent.
And, yet as painful as that was, the stuff about Robson's gum surgery made me wince far, FAR worse.

I can't even.

Yikes. It is a precise, well-written quote, but the language doesn't seem all that elevated to me, just a little formal, which I would expect.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Spoken like someone who has never had to explain the difference between 'lay' and 'lie' to a 100% post-collegiate audience.
It's fine writing, and I like it a lot. The reason I pointed it out is that you probably won't see any of those words in a Dan Brown novel.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I watched The Aviator last night. The first two hours were dull as dry toast, and the last hour was really good, I thought. Leo DiCaprio was great in that last hour.
I did get a laugh out of the scene where Katharine Hepburn takes him to meet her folks, though.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Aviator is 3 hours? Damn, that just got bumped WAY down my must-watch list.

It really didn't need all three, either.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Also saw Madigascar this weekend. I enjoyed it. Though the penguins are what made it for me.

Always Anti-fascist!
Nutty, I love you. It's totally true.
