Yeah, doesn't work so well for essays, sadly.
the cats grade the essays! they always sleep on the A papers
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
...and throw up on the F papers.

Regardless of the vote I cast tomorrow (counting out those who've dropped out because I really liked Richardson though I doubted his chances and figured to toss my vote for principle) I think it might make me cry, because they are options I honestly & cynically never thought I'd have in my lifetime (at least, not since I was a wee idealistic thing cocooned in a nice dippy liberal environ.) And that's fucking sad. I'm glad my cynicism has been denied. And I hope it continues to be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I like this system.
I'm not even sure if you mean the denial of sarameg's cynicism or cats puking on papers, but somehow I like it either way.

A friend of mine has a George Bush cat toy, which the cat loves to chew on and bat around....

I love how earnest sara is.
It's 8 o'clock and I'm ready for bed. but I've lost my book and can't find it and can't sleep. ARGH.

Wow, Bill Clinton showed up and spoke at my former high-school tonight because the "snap you the fuck in half" winds that were going on yesterday kept his wife from landing and doing so. I wish I could have gone.

Wow, I don't know how I will ever keep up with this thread lol. I am also grading right now--Film History Midterms with clip analysis and short answers....so I feel your pain. Thanks for the welcomes everyone. My cats, Bonkers and Kona, really enjoy walking on student papers, trying to play with them, nosing my laptop out of the way to steal my lap (Bonkers). Crazy kitties. Is "my cat ripped up your essays" a valid excuse for not handing back papers?
In other news, no clue who I am voting for. I am taking a break from CNN for a few days to get reality back in my head. I wanted Kucinich but we all know how likely that was. Then Edwards but meh, he quit. I can't decide between Clinton and Obama. I have until May but if this is elections as usual the race will be pretty much over by then and I my vote will mean Jack. Cynical me.

Our primary is tomorrow and I still dunno which one I'm voting for. Either way it'll be a historic year for presidential front-runners. Evidently Obama was here as well at The Jefferson Center. I wouldn't have minded being there either really.
