Tom and Jessica, your pictures are provoking a profound sense of nostalgia and wishing for snow for me. Even though I can get to snow here by going to the mountains, it's not the same as seeing city streets covered.
Thanks, Nilly. I have about a page and a half left, which means even with internet breaks, I have written about 3 pages this past 40 minutes. Which means I can finish this before I go to breakfast.
Then I have one more short paper and an incredibly long paper to go. The short one is actually harder than the long one because the long one is planned and merely needs to be written, while the short one is of the SUCK!
First snow pictures are always so pretty. We've not got enough accumulation here to make it pretty. Just some sucky, freezing rain.
Time to buy some salt for the sidewalks.
I have written about 3 pages this past 40 minutes
That's impressive.
What's the short paper about? Did you finish all the papers you had to do during THanksgiving (I hadn't posted with you since)?
Happy Birthday Amych!!!

article that makes fun of the "Left Behind" movies - for their low-budgetness:
In Left Behind 2: Tribulation Force, for example, Kirk Cameron has to take Ben Judah, a respected rabbi, to the Wailing Wall so that he can tell Jews everywhere that Jesus Christ is Lord. Israel is represented by a few stone walls obviously made of plywood, some Christmas-tree lights, and 500 volunteer extras wearing leftover costumes from a Nativity pageant. The Wailing Wall is patrolled by soldiers dressed in World War II army uniforms. The producers have also dubbed in the sound of goats during scenes set in downtown Jerusalem, which leads to the unusual notion that modern-day Israel is populated by WWII re-enactors, nervous-looking people in bathrobes, and goats.

Many Happy Returns of the Day, Amych!
I almost typed re-runs, but I think we've all seen that episode, and while it is usually entertaining, not something I'd wish on someone I liked.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amych!
The Christine Lavin show last night was fun.(How could a show that ends with glow-in-the-dark baton twirling =not= be fun?)
Timelies, all! Thanks for the birthday wishes!
So far, birthday highlights are coffee, purring snuggly cat, and several sudoku.
Nilly, I haven't finished them!
In fact, the paper I just finished is the one on the culture of fear and democracy (and I threw in capitalism for a giggle).
I have one short paper to go and a plethora of topics from which to choose. I could write about anti-semitism, stastics of violence vs. perceptions of it, the movie Bowling for Columbine, Freeway shootings, reality tv as a proponent of fear.
I think I'm going to copy and paste in my mid term and shape that instead of writing something new. There is a question for this paper that is directly related to something else I've already written. So if I shape it, then I can be finished. Woudln't that be exciting?
OH! But writing about reality tv would be EASY. Even though if I did Bowling for Columbine, I have about 2 pages already written including the movie review I wrote for this class already.
Decisions, decisions.
Woudln't that be exciting?
How will you celebrate? You'd deserve some sort of celebration.
if I did Bowling for Columbine, I have about 2 pages already written including the movie review I wrote for this class already.
How easy would it be to write the rest of the number of pages you need for the paper?
