Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.

Emily, read the first sentence and the last sentence. If they suck, give 'em a D. If they don't, read the rest.

Psst. Emily teaches math!

I'm sorry it's been such a sucktastic year, Emily.

There's nothing on I want to watch, with TAR delayed. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is bound to leave me in tears, and I'm so not in the mood for weepy.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Read the first story problem and the last story problem and skip in between?

Or, just grade for the answers. Tell them they need to make the argument if they want credit for their work?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Psst. Emily teaches math!

Gah. Have a drink, Emily. I have some Amaretto if you'd like to share.

SFO's not so much with the efficient. Or are you in Oakland?

I was in SFO. Wow. That was unbelievable.

Now I'm in a grogeous painted lady with one of my fellow presenters (who is a doll). We've planned it all out, and it looks good. I'm happy I'm not carrying the whole 90 minutes on my own. Going to seek food and hotel shortly.

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

Home from Seattle and now I miss my peeps. A lot.

But I picked up Kittenish from the cattery, unpacked and am now flopped on the couch verging on comatose. Well, luggage unpacked. There are still some things in the car. Like candles cause I picked up a few.

And Cass went the same color as my pants, which just makes it funnier.
That conversation never happened. Never. Ever.

I don't acknowledge vermilion. Like a life without clicky fire, doesn't exist.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Really I'm just deciding whether or not to give them any credit if they got absolutely everything wrong, and all their graphs look the same. It's about 30 seconds per page -- there are just so many of them, and they're so, so wrong.

Anyway, I'm off to go do it with company. Later!

Oh Emily, I'm so sorry. How frustrating.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Good luck getting everything done, Emily! You will get through this year.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm right there with you, Emily, although my drama is not with grading. If it helps to know you're not alone in it.

Eep, Em, that sucks. Good luck. But you're what, 3/4ths of the way through the year, right?

Running List of Favorite Words Encountered Since Studying Gender Theory: heteronormative, homosociability

OK, I know from heteronormative, but what is "homosociabilty" about?

libkitty, telling us you have MORE SNOW THAT ANYBODY is really not the best way to have most of us visit, I'm thinking....me, I'm anxiously awaiting spring here...cherry blossoms in a few weeks! Of course, I'm supposed to be in LA the weekend they're lovely, but...(maybe it's just me? I don't ski, so....but see, you should come HERE, I have no futon, but I do have a couch! And cherry blossoms!!)
