Speaking of Eliot…
The Love Song of J. Alfred Fan Time to go, then, don’t you think, While the Zamboni smooths the ice upon the rink, Like a patient waitress, polishing her table; Let us go, through crowd-congested streets, The deep bass thumping beats Of restless SUV’s in left turn-only lines And sawhorse barriers with detour signs Signs [...]

Heliogue expressed that teaching T.S. Eliot would incite head explosions if taught in his own high school. But the school I’m observing is, as I replied, an anomaly of sorts. The school is quite multicultural by Indiana standards and in a very affluent part of town. Students are primarily children of professors and executives. The [...]

My name would be Ms. Kitty Trail. Just so you know. As you can see, I’m working very hard on mid-term preparation.

Mid-Terms It’s time for mid-terms, which means it is also time for the obligatory scholastic disillusionment post. Tonight I practice my ASL handshape story, a five minute story told through the use of body language and next to no actual signs, and study for the Shakespeare mid-term for which I am wholly unexcited. I can’t [...]

At some point, I missed the two year anniversary of this blog. Unfortunately the archives don’t represent this fact, thanks to the many posts deleted during my MT days. That makes about five years of blogging. In other news, I got the new monitor set up. Now it’s all about the CD burner. Go wish [...]

Since I started knitting primarily with wool, my hands have been cracking and my nails have been falling apart. My hands look like a cross between an ancient mummy’s and an alien’s. During the monthly jaunt to the health food store, I ran across Badger Body Butter. My hands actually feel human again. And who [...]

Not feeling like blogging this weekend. I finally got a monitor and have procrastinated on setting it up, in part because that means moving the last gargantuan thing out of the office and my foot still hurts after the torn ligament/basement stairs incident. And in part because I’ve been busy knitting a shirt/sweater that ended [...]
...read moreIndiana Dems “Car Bombing” Bills?
Mitch Daniels, Republican Indiana governor, got rather testy today in response to a Democrat walk-out, effectively killing 80+ bills. Some of these bills were completely bogus, but alas, others were legit. Chuck sez: [Daniels and state Republicans are] especially pissed because the walk-out-so-the-chamber-doesn’t-have-quorum maneuver has been employed by their own party as recently as, well, [...]

Since the regular computer with all the music files is broken, I’m resorting to my wee mp3 player in which only fifteen music files are stored. This is the stuff I jog to. 1. The Kleptones – Bite 2. Bone Thugs and Notorious B.I.G. – Notorious Thugs 3. Too Short – Gettin’ It 4. Pharcyde [...]

Alas, no pictures as all my ftp info is on the other computer. But there is quite an interesting development in the Pablo saga. Since Pablo got home from the vet, he’s picked up a rather annoying habit of laying on the edge of the couch, flipping his head over, and scraping his forehead against [...]

Praise be to God who pities wankers and has mercy on miserable bastards. Praise be to God who pours his blessing on reactionary warheads and racists. Krista has the rest.

If you don’t take the “specious marketing survey“, you don’t exist. Take it so we aren’t up to our ears in another debunking campaign in three months. Via Antigone at XX.
