I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We can work through this in private, a long as no one talks about it in a public forum . . . oh, right.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh gods. Why do I know have an image of Spitzer in a corset in my head? WHY WHY WHY??

I have the image in Aimee in a corset. And a very nice image it is.

I'm not so surprised about people sending illicit sexy messages to a work Blackberry. I mean, think of the things I post here, and on LJ, and the links I click on (thanks ita!) on/from my work computer! If they decided to pay attention, I would so be fired.

Yeah, it doesn't really surprise me. I keep a personal cell, even though work issues me a treo because I like to keep my work and home life separate, but I know a lot of people who don't.

Also, I am annoyed by the way that the media is treating the VA Tech family settlement. They say things like "they've reached a settlement agreement, but there's a catch, they can't take further action". That's not a catch, that's the definition and PURPOSE of a settlement. Don't act like the university is doing something shady or dissing the families.

There was a lot of talk like that after September 11th. Drove me nuts.
I'm calling bullshit on the whole handwriting thing. Why we spend an entire 3rd grade year focusing on cursive seems to be a waste of time.
Consider yourself lucky. In France, you are only taught cursive. And it is fairly common practice to handwrite job application letters (in fact, it is sometimes required and companies do handwriting analysis on it).

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Handwriting is important because research shows that when children are taught how to do it, they are also being taught how to learn and how to express themselves.
Hmmmph. My transition from printing to cursive was in 3rd grade too, and consisted of the teacher saying to me -- the only left-hander in the class -- "well, follow along as best you can," and moving on. I still resent it. Perhaps I learned something about "how to learn" from that, but it wasn't about handwriting, and if I learned to express myself it certainly wasn't through my penmanship. Nice penmanship was (and is) valued, and the memory that Mrs. White wasn't even willing to try to teach me is still a bitter one.
My penmanship was never more than passable. I was surprised when I took lessons in Urdu that my left-handedness didn't make things easier. Again it was a case of the teachers being used to working with right-handers, but at least they were willing to try.
What really improved my penmanship was learning lettering in drafting class my freshman year in college. What ruined it again was learning to become proficient in Graffiti on my Palm Pilot.
