It'd be something I'd have to think about doing
Which is, I think, what one might (or at least I might) do if someone said, let's do an experiment in which you walk along and throw the ball "straight up in the air." It's not that I'm overthinking it, exactly (or at least not for fun), as that this is an experiment that the textbook expected me to do with students. Only whether the students throw the ball up normally or try to do something, as you say, forced and ill-calculated, is pretty much going to be influenced by what they expect to get out of it. Add to that that the science teachers were in disagreement over what was supposed to happen, and I'm just as glad we scrapped it. But I wanted to check with y'all anyway, and I was right. Shhh.
Now back to the eternal mystery of subtracting negatives. No, wait! To bed!
I love my stuffed bear. Though I generally make the guest bed up with him when people are staying over. It's seems welcoming. Or strange. But I am okay with both of those judgements.
Woke up way too early. Wants to go back to sleep. My hip is thwarting me though. As is realizing I have to take Kittenish to the vet (much later) in the morning.
If I go back to sleep after TCG leaves for work, I grab my teddy bear to sleep with.
Is anyone else watching Brothers and Sisters? So far it's my fave of the new shows. It's like a mix of Six Feet Under (minus the bodies and f-bombs) and Thirtysomething with a really great exploration of a complicated family dynamic.
There were a lot of things I liked about it, but I realized after a couple of episodes I was never going to get over my dislike of Calista Flockhart. And with
The Nine, Ugly Betty, Friday Night Lights,
and
Studio 60
all still in play, something had to go.
Which CI is this? I forget.
The one where the killer rigs the subway non-turnstile entrance thing (what's that called?) so the guy gets stuck in it, and then stuck in the neck!
The return of grammar: [link]
Well, it's about time.
I did not know there were English teachers who couldn't diagram a sentence.
Can someone explain how the new SAT scores work? I'm irritated that mine are now meaningless. I need those numbers, people.
I have an English Degree and I have never diagrammed a sentence. I don't even know what diagramming a sentence means.
