chochiyo_samaGo back to regularly posting here. It helps my mental health a lot--even if I don't shake out my dirty little secrets and anxieties and such.
Anyhow--I was listening to NPR, and I got a big charge out of the announcement of the winner of the "Pants On Fire" award (for telling the most bald-faced lie of the year....)
OOOOOH NOOOOOES!!!! If the dirty democratic scum pass the evil health care program everyone over the age of 60 will have to report to DEATH PANELS yearly and submit to committee review of the value of their lives!!!!! Not valuable enough???? STRAIGHT TO THE DISINTEGRATION CHAMBERS!!!!!! (And you KNOW that it will be the freedom loving, God worshipping, Abortion hating, USA-ALL-THE-WAY REPUBLICAN ELDERS who will be vaporized EVERY TIME!!!!!!!)
OMG...you gotta laugh---or else you'd be forced to jam a screwdriver into your temple until it came out the other side.
anyhoo.
I am at school. Came in at about 9 am for a couple of my seniors to finish their papers and presentations. They just left, and I am packing up my stuff to leave too. I got all my correcting done and entered into the computer EXCEPT for my comparison papers of Andersen's "Little Mermaid" and Disney's "Little Mermaid."
After correcting and recording everything, I am feeling distinctly UNCHRISTIAN toward many of my students to whom i gave a work day yesterday--and who sat there yapping the whole time and doing nothing--and now I discover SO EFFING MANY ZEROES IN MY GRADEBOOK!!!
Well, so be it. I will accept NOTHING after Tuesday. If they fail, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Why should I have to stay at school till midnight on Wednesday correcting all their late shit?

You know what?

The Senate needs to be punished.
As for Palin? Seems she's been dumped by the Canadians who first hired her to speak at their fundraiser. I guess they figured out that after they sold 2,000 tickets at $100 each and paid her $200,000 speaker's fee there wouldn't be any money left over to cover expenses let alone donate to the charity.
Palin. The barometer for stupid. If you're a Palinbot beware the Darwin Awards. You may just win one.
no subject

you really do need to update more. so do i, but i haven't been sucking nearly as hard as you
oh, and another thing
Date: 2009-12-24 03:56 am (UTC)I did pretty well on Livejournal. Not so well on Wordpress or Blogger but still not bad.
The year before it was to start to aggressively recycle. I've kept that up pretty much but my house has suffered. I tend to let recyclables pile up so the house is a mess.
But....my New Year's resolution this year is to get my house clean enough to decorate for Christmas next year.
