"this day's been crazy, but everything's happened on schedule

from the rain and the cold, to the drink that i spilled on my shirt."

okay, so it's not rainy or cold, but i did spill coffee on my white shirt 30 seconds after i pulled out of the driveway at 7:15am.

moral of the story: stop being so lazy, and put a freaking lid on the travel mug.

Intellectual Property?

i am unabashedly stealing this from my brother's sister-in-law's blog, which she told him on his blog that he could steal. so i'm sure she won't mind, but chris will. for the first time, it'll be true when he says "you're still copying me, even though you did it first."


1. Reply with your name and I will write something random about you.
2. I will then tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you.
4. I will say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I will give you a nickname.
6. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll then ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

Preponderance of fright

While writing an activity for my students using comparisons of inequality, a baffling question came to mind:

Who is more frightening, Cristina Ricci or Cameron Diaz?















I vote for the latter, since she always looks ready to devour someone's face.

But more importantly, has there ever been a more frightening man on film than Steve Buscemi?

¿Cómo se dice...masoquista?

recent email:

Hi, I am a transfer student at UGA majoring in
Social Work. This semester I am enrolled in Spanish 1101 and not
my best subject by far. I saw your name and contact information on the Romance Language web site. I was inquiring about your
torturing services.

Thanks,
