'The Girl in Question'
Natter 70: Hookers and Blow
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.
Paste buffer:
[student name], reading the whole of your Bluest Eye essay, I can see the gist of your argument--that the racial aspect of beauty standards in Pecola's community are impossible for her to attain--but you haven't yet given me the "so what" in your thesis. Remember the prompt, which asks you to articulate how these standards deform personal identity, as you revisit your thesis and body paragraphs. Your syntax and diction made it difficult for me to follow your reasoning; if you choose to revise, eliminate passive voice and wordiness. This draft has potential--it just needs to be clarified. Revision is optional; all revisions are due by Monday, 4/30. Points Earned: 40/50
Yep, I’ve been grading papers today.

What good feedback, Pix.
Aw, thanks for saying, Hec. I appreciate it.
Pix, did you get my text earlier?
Paste: Rowling's reasoning for joining the British Society of Weights and Measures.
I made up for not spending hardly anything at the outlets yesterday by spending a ton of money at Target.
Then I went to the grocery store...and then I rented "Tomorrow When the War Began" from RedBox. Except I realized I have lots of TV to watch tonight (Amazing Race, Good Wife), and tomorrow I have a class in the evening. Hmm.
Oh crap, meara. Yes, I did and completely forgot to respond. Will remedy that shortly.
Ha. This should surprise no one. My paste:
¡VAMOS GIGANTES!
No paste buffer here. In marked contrast to yesterday, I have gotten nothing done except reading part of a library book and taking an afternoon nap.
Well, it is almost 6 here and I only woke fully up maybe twice since 11:30 or so last night, so I'm calling that a wind. Though I really doubt spanish cafes, even the brands like Starbucks or DD will be open by 7. You never know. Won't be headed until the side until after 8 sometime.
Oh, and the procession was referred to as a funeral by the locals. Which did surprise me. I should google. Maybe it is a mix in this part of Spain?
I have been getting really good fruit. Just not enough compared with the bread, meat and cheese. I purposely ordered several tapas last night simply because they had uncooked tomatoes in 'em. And they were good...
