Sup?
Some things:
1. I’ve been working on another website. I find when I do that, I tend to disapper because I’m so immersed. Incidentally, the website is mygratitudes.net. There’s nothing up yet but junk and filler, but I’m having fun working away on the site design. I’m enjoying learning more about CSS, Wordpress, and HTML. If there were some local classes, I’d probably be interested in taking one. I’d like to learn more about design itself, not just website design. Stuff like layout, typography, and the like. I’ve tried reading up about that sort of thing online, but I don’t really -see- what people are talking about. I think I need someone to tell me and show me.
2. Today I was looking up examples of arguments for pro-choice and pro-life positions to bring to class. I googled “pro-choice+arguments” and got an astounding number of hits that were Christian, anti-choice sites providing counter-arguments. Then I googled “pro-life+arguments” and I pretty much got the same thing. There were some pro-choice sites, but overall the hits favored the pro-life position. Now I know that google doesn’t allow abortion providers to advertise. Someone posted about that on the WMST-L list. But does the google metrics or whatever it’s called deprivilege pro-choice websites? Depressing thoughts.
3. The students who received midterm F’s in my public speaking class have quit coming. Not dropped, just quit coming. Class has become much more manageable and the remaining students are doing well. The problem took care of itself. Nonetheless, I still don’t understand how students can walk away from a class without dropping it.
The Latest Threes:
The intartubes:
1. My latest bookmarks are all Wordpress related. Nothing exciting there.
2. I’m on google wave. Are you?
3. I’m still confused about the new facebook.
The meat world:
1. We are shifting to online teacher evals at school (wait, does that count as meat world? Or on the internet?”
2. I haven’t been to a movie in ages, but I did buy Madonna’s Celebration.
3. Willow and I eat out too much. She’s an expensive date, going for three courses and two drinks. But we do have such excellent conversations.
My cat:
1. …is very fat.
2. …is on a diet.
3. …does not like being on a diet.
Family life:
1. We are going to Rome over Christmas.
2. My mother is coming to visit next month, specifically to see Willow. I haven’t seen her in many, many years.
3. It is football season; I am officially a football widow.
