It is spendy, Sox. But SO SO COOL, if you like to write down notes.
I plot all of my courses and lectures using legal pads, and then transcribe them. It's how I think, so the LiveScribe would be great for modeling writing and grammar assignments, outlines, notes, reading strategies....
I really want one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Best comment from What's Causing the Mass Animal Die-Offs?:
There's a completely simple scientific explanation for these mass die-offs. Closer observation of the ecological system in the affected area reveals feral pigs have stolen the birds' eggs, and the birds have no means to retaliate except to launch themselves against the pigs' ramshackle dwellings by means of a giant slingshot.

Ann, that's a ferret.
tommy, yes. I'm not sure which is worst, the totally shaved head, the weird eyes, or the weird smile.
His nose doesn't look particularly insane. I'll give him that much.

Yeah, that's a character reference: "His nose looks sane."

CNN had an interview with a (male) classmate of his, who said that Jared always looked "odd". I was thinking, "Dude, you have a fuschia pageboy, you can't judge." OTOH, if the fuschia pageboy guy thought he was odd, maybe he was REALLY odd.

Also, I suggested people attempt to shovel their sidewalks, which you can do with a garden shovel - I did mine in half an hour this morning - and have been mocked on two fronts.
Since it's not going to thaw until Saturday, I was thinking about trying to shovel my driveway when it gets the exciting high of 36 today. However, I do not own snow boots, and yesterday I found that the ice crust on the top of the snow attacked my ankles. That stuff is sharp.
Note to self: Buy snow boots when they go on sale.
