Franklin5: Because I have nothing better to do.
http://franklinfive.blogspot.com/2007/10/because-i-have-nothing-better-to-do.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Because I have nothing better to do. So maybe I'm just cranky because I awoke to the sound of chainsaws this morning. That's never a happy noise, especially when it's followed closely by the loud thump of my former neighbor's formerly gorgeous oak trees falling to the ground. Wretched builders, ruining our neighborhood. Oh, please excuse me for just a moment while I take this call. Hey, Jen. What? Of course I'll step in! I'm sorry. Where were we? You may want to enlarge the p...

Town's End Tales. Writing from the Edge. November 12, 2012. Tip #7 Be sloppy with your grammar (or be sloppy, with you’re grammar). Menu Grammar Check (Photo credit: tdstone). Tip #7 in the 52 Ways Not to Get Published Series. Even the best of prose turns to junk once peppered with grammatical mistakes. I’m talking about clear blatant mistakes that make any good English teacher want to chew off her left arm. Truly sloppy grammar takes practice. The amateur simply uses incorrect subject-verb agreement.

lj's review stew: August 2010
http://ljsreviewstew.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Like the title implies, my approach to reading is similar to how I (usually) cook: take a whole bunch of different things, let sit for awhile, enjoy! Well sort of.). I couldn't possibly wait any longer for "Mockingjay". Starting to think it's probably a bit old for my grade 6/7 class. But I enjoy it and that's enough justification for me :). Lost in the Barrens" sounds like it will pair really nicely with the grade 6 First Nations unit. Eew. Genres: lost in the barrens. The selected works of ts spivet.

The Happy Wanderers: October 2006

Wednesday, October 25, 2006. Get out the vote! Jason and I just sent in our absentee ballots yesterday, and the process prompted me once again to jump on my soapbox. C'mon, Virginians! No matter how disenchanted you may be with ridiculous politicians, you have got to get to the polls and vote a resounding, screaming "NO! Posted by Sara and Jason Wright @ 10:10 AM. Monday, October 16, 2006. Recently I published an entry referring readers to http:/ www.engrish.com. Their word, not mine) ahead of the 2008 O...

Grumpy Young Women: every bit as grumpy as the old girls: January 2011
http://thegrumpyyoung.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 January 2011. For the consideration of others, please turn off your phone! Mobile phones. They have become so ingrained in everyday life that we would most likely not know what to do without them; holding them has become second nature, almost as if they’re an extended part of our hands. But let’s all agree for a moment. At times, isn’t it easy to think that they’re the bane of modern life? Aside from the fact that the light from her phone was terrifically distracting, who the hell starts socia...

Grumpy Young Women: every bit as grumpy as the old girls: How hard is it to give up your seat?
http://thegrumpyyoung.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-hard-is-it-to-give-up-your-seat.html
Saturday, 3 April 2010. How hard is it to give up your seat? If you’re the sort of person who studiously looks at their feet when an elderly or disabled person gets on the bus so you don’t have to shift your bum out of your seat then, to borrow a phrase from The Inbetweeners. You’re a ‘bus wanker’. In fact, I think you’re just a bit of a wanker, bus or not. On the way home recently I sat next to an imbecile doing this, legs akimbo and a look on his face that said “Yeah? 8221; His inability to sit properl...

Grumpy Young Women: every bit as grumpy as the old girls: The grumpy girl's guide to shouting out of windows
http://thegrumpyyoung.blogspot.com/2010/10/grumpy-girls-guide-to-shouting-out-of.html
Sunday, 10 October 2010. The grumpy girl's guide to shouting out of windows. I sometimes feel as I’ve just got to grips with how mind blowingly irritating life can be when something new comes along to irk me. The latest such annoyance is the growing, and totally unacceptable, phenomenon of shouting out of windows - especially at me. To ensure we’re all on the same page I’m going to start by laying down the rules on this matter. Or ‘help’. 8221; or something equally short. Loudness isn’t a probl...You may...
