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

Just starting watching Alias, and noticed they announced an Oceanic Airline flight to Sydney [not that one] at LAX.

Eyes: I love the ex-FBI, gay, formerly crazy guy. His facial expressions when he said "God, I miss being in the FBI" was priceless.

Eww.

Tom Cruise has a new girlfriend in the shape of newly-single actress Katie Holmes. The movie superstar has been spotted wining and dining the former Dawson's Creek beauty, and now his sister and publicist Lee Anne Devette has confirmed the rumors of a romance are true. The new golden couple, who are separated by 16 years, are currently enjoying a romantic getaway in Italy, where Cruise is scheduled to receive a national award for his contribution to cinema this weekend.

Huh.

I never knew I had a modicum of respect for Katie Holmes.

Or at least I used to.

Very true, on all counts.

Someone remind me that I don't need this [link] when all I want is a small TV for my bedroom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec... um. That's good! But, uh, were you making a point? That's not me being snarky sarcasticperson -- I'm not sure if you're disagreeing with me, or pointing out that there are people with a good grasp, or what?

Sorry, not grumping at you and I hadn't seen neo-con education lady yet. I agree with some of her points, but not the agenda she's pushing.

For example, Emmett's Little League works like this. Single-A they don't keep score. The kids keep score but there's no official score keeping. The coach's pitch. It's all about learning the game. In Double-A, they keep score but they don't keep standings. So the kids know if they won or lost, and the kids pitch, but the coach's step in after four balls. It's still about learning the skills but it is also about learning to compete. At the next level up, they keep score and standings and the best players go out in tournaments. (And win the divisional championship! Take that neocon bitch!)

So yes, competition good. Skills and confidence building... also good!

I'm not a big fan of Super-Validation as either a schooling philosophy or a parenting approach. But...even in the East Bay where Emmett goes to school - as liberal and Rainbow Coalition place as you'd ever want - that's really not how kids are being taught.
