Erin! Bitches! Lovely to see you.
I've been buried in work. Good because, yay work! Bad because, no time.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Laura! Hi! Boys back 2 school?!
My Mom washes hers with soap all the time.
Heh. One of the legendary fights/not speaking for years incidents in my mom’s family began over someone “ruining” a cast iron skillet.
Much ~ma to thems that need it. I'm firmly in the camp of FUCK CANCER.
My friend who survived thyroid cancer has “fuck cancer” tattooed in Chinese characters on his shoulders.
Most new cast iron pans sold today come pre-seasoned and can be used right out of the box.
eh, I’m skeptical. I'd still season before use.
You going to NCTE, by any chance? I may be.
Ooo. I was considering it (and have been told I could probably get the school to pay for most of it), but if you were going that would totally tip the balance! We could even be roomies and save on the hotel, if you want!
I'm thinking there's a good chance! I might be going with a co-worker, but I still need to talk to my principal.
I'll ask him about it Tuesday and get back atcha. I think Jonathan Kozol and Amy Tan are rumored speakers. And it's in New Yawk! We could have a 'Ffista meet! And drink!
God, I didn't just abuse exclamation points there, I freakin' strung 'em up, flooged them and sold 'em as child prostitutes.
I think Jonathan Kozol and Amy Tan are rumored speakers.Hee. Amy Tan came to speak at my school last year (I know, I know...as a friend said, if I keep changing private schools in LA, eventually my students are going to be entirely made of gold), and she was seriously the best speaker I have ever heard. She was mesmerizing. I've heard that she's not always as good as that, but she certainly was then.
I would **love** to hear Kozol speak. I respect him so much.
I'll ask him about it Tuesday and get back atcha.Yes, please! I need to put in for the PD money if I'm going to pursue this. Squee! I'm so excited!
Oops. Double posted while squeeing.
Check out Natter. I think I used up the whole 10,000 posts double posting earlier.
I heard Jonathan Kozol speak at a book signing in DC a few years ago, when Shame of the Nation had just come out, and he was incredible.
