[Jacqueline Mackie Paisley Passey] Don't worry about the timorous undergrads around you Jacqui, being a 6'3" male built like a football player I often get this attitude in public spaces (i.e. I'd go to a gym and just glance at the slight female beside me and she would go wide-eyed and run off). I let it bother me until I realized that it was their problem, something they needed to work throuh not something that should bother me. In my case there might be some rationality to it due to my physicality; but in your case it makes no sense and shows that there is something wrong with her.

[Will Shetterly's work in progress] yahuda 18: So Kurush sent an agent named Esra from Bavil. Esra stood in the new temple and read from scrolls that he said the Yahudeans had forgotten and he had found. Esra taught what magi teach, of life after death, of judging day, of the war between good and bad, of powerful agents who help the god, of the need to keep away from filth and not to take women who have other gods””all the things your Parseeists and Poor teach, and your Zadokites and Shomreenans deny. Thanks to Esra, your people call Kurush an anointed, though he was a Parsee following Zarathushtra's teaching about Lord Wisdom, not a Yahudean following Moshe's teaching about Yahu.

[Freedom is a Cupcake] Bakuta Lady (completed): I will write for the next hour, I will stumble atop this keyboard, but I keep censoring myself I keep shutting out that light, the principle of growth is being strangled, the mirror on the wall reflect photos from some Central American nation’s art, eagles and horses and trees painted by the descendant of some massacred Aztec. The tables in here are the perfect size to lay a book, and you got to shift your feet or else they go numb, I’ve never had that feeling in my tongue, the buzzing and flapping so useless, and I don’t dare check the word count yet, I haven’t been on a roll like this in months, and I think about all the stuff on my blog that drags me down and is chained to me like some hunk of rotting meat, and I think maybe I stole that line from Dylan, but it didn’t bother him to rip off Woody Guthrie so why should it matter, bad poets borrow, good poets steal , and TS Eliot didn’t say much to impress me but that was one thing. Man, all you have to say ”˜April is the cruelest month’ and then 40 pages of impenetrable screeding and they’ll quote you in newspapery superficialisms well nigh into the next century. I’m really working up to the big finish and it’s something I always forget how to do, to start from scratch to heal myself with this screen, the track lighting overhead is a bit too ”˜high school’ and the pussy willow behind me makes me think of cold windy marshlands.

[Madyamika2000.blogspot.com] RaBlissBlog: I just checked up the statistics for this blog and the last four referrers to this page have been agents. Only one person has checked the web page in the last two days i.e after I emailed the agents. Why are they coming to this page and not the one with all the books, etc., on it? Well, you probably don't have to pass a test to be a literary agent.

[Home.earthlink.net] Thinking In Binary: The blog: Why the MCAS is largely a waste of time: Motivation is an issue: some teachers have really burned out after teaching disobedient high school students for years, and they have no enthusiasm for their subject and just teach to the test. On the other hand, students who don't bother showing up half the time, skip class, and don't bother working waste the school's time when they inevitably fail the MCAS because they didn't show up for English for most of high school. I'm not saying that the school should just ignore people who don't show up, but, after going to a school that takes the top half of Boston students, there are clearly people who want to learn and people who don't. I don't think it is a good use of school resources to chase down the students who don't bother showing up.

[Jerz.setonhill.edu] Jerz's Literacy Weblog (Online & Offline Literacy Links; Dennis G ...: [I agree. The panel I proposed for next year's 4Cs was sparked by the realization that more and more students are coming into our classes with experience as social bloggers (or with a knowledge of other social networking programs, like friendster, P2P file sharing, and IM culture in general), and on the role of their academic blogging as it is situated in the larger context of the blogosphere. Only the very young or the very cutting-edge people in the composition field have the proper experience to assess this dynamic.

 [Ojar.com] Divorce Poetry Blog: Pages and pages an empty heart’s wages. For none filled and contented shall bother.  For ages and ages the empty soul rages and fills up the hole like no other. Alliteration is a familiar temptation that leads me to where I am now.  The night sopping wet my every regret stares in through the window at me.
