Proudest Moment of Teaching all Year, reposted from FB. May 19th, 2014 at 8:42 PM. My proudest moment of teaching all year: Today, after my first class had finished up, Johnny kept poking at and tickling the girl sitting next to him. She kept asking him to stop, and he wouldnt, despite my having redirected him a couple of times. Johnny said, I want to handcuff you and tickle you until you scream, and then said, What? What, Ms. Judi? Why you making that face? He said, What? I didnt say anything wrong.

Hugo Rumpuses - Cat Sitting Still
http://catsittingstill.livejournal.com/321271.html
However for some reason minority characters cannot be manly men or beautiful women, and have the additional deadly characteristic of making the exact same story instantly dull (for the Sad Puppies) unless you have a good reason for them to be minority characters (like, he's going to go under cover as a slave in the next book to gather information; of course he has to be black.). They're also very fond of explosions and guns. And this year, the Puppies have been trying to own the nominations. If they ...

So, that's been my life. - Adam Selzer
http://adamselzer.livejournal.com/655922.html
Fifty Adam Selzer fans cant be wrong! So, that's been my life. Jan 5th, 2013 at 7:32 AM. Mostly running tours, doing Chicago history research, and nonfiction books. Its winter, so Im reading Dickens again. Last month I finally read all o Pickwick Papers. Which is like watching the sitcom being formed out of primordial ooze. After that I switched over to one of his mid-period books Dombey and Son. And the effect is like going fro Meet the Beatles. Ive read about a third of Dombey. 1 comment Leave a comment.

How a Slate Distorts the Nomination Process Part II - Cat Sitting Still
http://catsittingstill.livejournal.com/321853.html
How a Slate Distorts the Nomination Process Part II. I went through the post at Torgersen's blog where he solicited suggestions from his readers for what works to put on the Sad Puppy III Slate. 41 people suggested, among them, 35 books (and quite a few other things, but I haven't analyzed the other fields yet.) The most popular books got 3 "nominations" each- there were four of these. Then there were four more books that got 2 nominations each. And the remaining 27 got one nomination each. This is why, ...

M C A Hogarth. What's This All About? My life in text: writing, art, massage therapy, fencing, health, humor and language and culture; ethics and society and personal musing. Mugs, Shirts and Stuff. Art Supply Wish List. The Pursuit of Beauty. 07:53 am June 28th, 2016. A moment's digression from the travelogue, for some pictures done while in the hotel. Most of the time I was too tired to draw or take notes, but that first night in Rome I had some time, and much inspiration from the Venetian concert.
