'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ack. I'm not sure if I just gave a student a useful tip for dealing with girls or made for an awkward situation. Crap. I think I liked it better when I only had boys.
Remember, Emily, it's your job to sit back and enjoy the teen drama without actually worrying about it.

It's sort of like The CW, but with BO and acne.
We're getting out 2 whole hours early! The never happens!
Of course they are sending us into the middle of the snowpocalypse...

Yeah. I probably should have just let it play out on its own. Well, a lesson learned, I suppose.
On the absurd side, I gave a student a copy of that article on student entitlement in a last-ditch effort to get him to show some life. I told him I was going to try to transfer the "locus of control" onto him.
Even if it doesn't work, I think we've just started a catch-phrase -- he thought the word "locus" was pretty cool.
Hee. I always wonder if I've struck the right balance of teen drama interference. Mostly I try just to listen, but if they ask directly for input I do tell them stuff.
The best part is when two out of the three of your students in a particular class are having dating drama with each other and are coming to you for advice. I'm all, dude, I totally can't give you insider info!
Another article on sandwiches, this time the Chicago classic Italian Beef.
I *like* it Hec!
She's a street lamp.
A *drunken* (or possibly melted) streetlamp! Oddly, I can't remember the Frodo picture.

No, no! You can stir the pot.

See? Liese knows.
ION, Bryan Fuller Fans! I saw the direct-to-DVD Dead Like Me movie available at Amoeba the other day.
Also, you can get the songs that Kristin Chenoweth and Ellen Greene sing on Pushing Daisies off of iTunes. So if you need their version of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" it's available.
New (to me) Yiddishm "From Hunger" meaning "out of desperation". Anyone heard this before?
I have, in some book. IIRC, it's the only place I've read/heard it, though.
