Quick query: Some other Teacher 'Ffista was talking a little bit ago about writing lesson plans and selling them.
I'm busting out some pretty awesome lesson plans this year for secondary Language Arts; they're internally and externally aligned to MO's GLE's but I could as easily align them to NCTE standards.
Project-based for most units; writing-intensive and contain worksheet and handouts that cover lower and higher level Bloom's taxonomy questions.
Anyone who has info, please drop me a line at my profile addy.
Thanks!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We are finally redoing Franny's room and the living room, so if anyone in the LA area wants either a couch (dark green with pillow back) or a double bed, drop me an email and I'll send pics. The couch is fairly new (we bought it about 6 years ago), no rips, etc., just a bit worn. Otherwise, we'll be donating the both of them.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
My column on writing, "How to Succeed as a Failing Writer," gets its cranky back with: You Are DOOMED!!!: Face it, technology has turned you into a wuss.
And if you're the sort who likes their crankiness in person, come see me read Tuesday at GotPoetry Live:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm getting rid of a ton of VHS tapes, both professional and me-taped. These are yours for the cost of postage, and I would be thrilled if you want more than one tape. Plus, I take PayPal, checks, even cash. I am just that easy.
Professional VHS tapes (i.e., the kind you buy)
- Alien
- Battle Arena Toshinden (based on the video game of the same name. In English.)
Fan-taped VHS tapes (i.e., I pressed a button on my remote). If not otherwise specified, you can assume that these are taped on EP.
- Buffy ("Normal Again") and Smallville ("Zero"), SP
- Buffy ("Out of My Mind" (EP) and "No Place Like Home" (SP)) and Angel ("Untouched" (EP) and "Dear Boy" (SP))
- Buffy ("Something Blue," "Superstar," "Buffy vs. Dracula," "The Real Me") and Angel ("Judgment," "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been"), EP. Also includes about 40 minutes of "The Replacement" in SP.
- Buffy ("Checkpoint", "Crush", "I Was Made to Love you") and Angel ("Blood Money", "The Thin Dead Line", "Reprise")
- Buffy ("Gone", "Doublemeat Palace", "Dead Things", "Older and Far Away", "As You Were")
- Buffy ("Bargaining", "Afterlife", "Flooded", "Life Serial", "All the Way")
- Angel ("Sanctuary," "That Vision Thing," "That Old Gang of Mine," "Carpe Noctem," "Fredless," "Billy,") plus about half of the Farscape episode "Through the Looking Glass" and the whole episode "Season of Death"
- Angel ("Waiting in the Wings," "Couplet", "Loyalty", "Sleep Tight", "Forgiving", "Double or Nothing")
- Nikita ("Charity", "Friend"), SP
- Nikita ("Mother," "Treason"), SP
- Nikita, ("Soul Sacrifice", "Old Habits", Double Date", "End Game", "Looking for Michael", "Someone Else's Shadow", "Opening Night Jitters", "Gates of Hell"), EP
