"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

is it bad I've wondered how you beat your students into NOT going there?

I basically say, "Yep. My name sounds like a bad word in spanish. Right now is your one opportunity to laugh about it. But after this moment if you do it, you WILL regret it." What's the Willow quote about vague threats?

Nope. not going the divorce route.

Cass, I'm doing fontifier anyhow, even with the crap handwriting. Because the crap handwriting is MY handwriting. Allyson, though, has the most beautiful penmanship. I want her to do it so I can have an Allyson font on my computer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Nope. not going the divorce route.
It's best to avoid it. But I have no worries with you anyway...

I really do want mine as well. I just have to try it on a Good Handwriting Day.

Can we all have the Allyson font? It can look pretty and snark for us.

I figured something like that. Puke on them! With that age, you have to do a preemptive strike. Hell, I altered the Oscar Meyer song to impugne my moronic 7th grade algebra teacher Mrs. O'Hara. (My bologne has a first name, it's O H A R A...) In my defense, she had no business teaching that class. Her student teacher did the first semester, my dad via me did the second one.

Allyson does have lovely script. When I work at it, I like my handwriting. My journals of earlier are lovely and slanty and spikey, which I like. But I got lazy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is ita around? This makes no sense - as in 'how could anyone believe this was true?'

Yanagiryuken is master of Daitouryu-aikido. He uses mysterious 'chi'power (first video), he claims to be undefeated in 200 bouts because of his force-like non contact power. He's finally defeated (second video). Hilarious!

Yeah, in the first video, he "defeats" all these opponents without even touching them. In the second video he gets his ass kicked.

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

You know, I am glad the NYTimes is doing so much coverage on Africa and the sex slave trade worldwide.

But damn it's depressing to think about all the children out there in sexual slavery or just targets for abuse without any cultural restraint against it.

Why the humans gotta suck so much?

Whatever traces of cultural relativism I've had are now fully erased and I'm back to inalienable human rights enforced at the point of a gun (if necessary).

Humans from earth. Always with the disapointment.

Just looked at the regional weather radar--looks like this storm is going to completely avoid the northern 'burbs up here!

Really? Ice storm here, big time.

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

tommy, that guy is insane. I'm not entirely sure why he bothered going ahead with that fight--I'm smirking at the allegations that he promised to close his school if defeated and that the promise has now been deleted from his website.

Awful head day today. Migraines with and without pain. Stupid stupid stupid.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Whatever traces of cultural relativism I've had are now fully erased and I'm back to inalienable human rights enforced at the point of a gun (if necessary).

Not necessary though. At least not in that article -- people want to change it and they're wildly poor and powerless to do so. Police need to be funded so they don't have to charge crime victims for investigations (and be less susceptible to bribes from perpatrators). Women need to be economically important so they'll be more valuable... t insert 'go team micro loans' schpiel here

People need to not be powerless. Women need some status. Its the same problem again and again and again.
