Well tons of people swear freely but it just sounds funny coming out of some people's mouths.

Honestly, it's sad how many people swear to try and get their point across. If it's used too often, it really doesn't have any impact, and it's more of an annoyance than anything. stare

I just finished Gods of Riverworld by Philip Jose farmer, Failed States by Noam Chomsky, and Jung: A Very Short Introduction by Anthony Stevens. I think I'm going to be reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins and have another go at the Tao Te Ching by Anybody's Guess next. I also want to get On Killing from the library again; a great book. But, for the remainder of this weekend, it's going to be nothing but sleep, malt liquor, and housecleaning.

Very true. I know I can tone it down a bit.

Hmm, sounds like some really fun books you've read, Emperor of Cascadia! blaugh I hope that they were pleasurable to you and most relaxing?

Ugh I'm really backed up on reading, I have to finish this Bono book, then I'm reading Eiger dreams by Jon Krakauer, then Scar Tissue by someone I don't know and Finally a new Chuck Klosterman book I just got. Doesn't sound like much but it really is.

*Storms in*

=D Guess what I've been reading!?!? Internet pages for the past 5 lessons of Photography. Is that a waste or WHAT?!

Other than that, the last book I read would be Maurice and his Talented Rodents. Quite a fun book, I must say.

Probably because he doesn't have the skills and/or he's too lazy to do that? sweatdrop

Either that or he's the type of teacher who enjoys making you suffer, just waiting for someone to go up and oppose him so he can shoot them down. Turning them into tiny, trifling specks of dust, forcing them to face their own misplaced insecurities and tremble before the might of his sword pen! =D He sounds neat!

I've been reading Hannible Rising, and Lord of The Flies. I really need something new... books have kind of been dribbling in lately. -.- But I guess I can't really complain, none of them have been returned either. o.o;

If that is indeed the case C+P, I would not simply back down. I would question his character and where is values truly lie; given that he chose a profession as a *teacher* not a *dictator* and, oh by the way, aren't you suppose be to *creative* in art class?! xd
PostPosted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 3:03 pm


:3 You could do that, but if he's really he might just avoid any confrontation with you and instead make your life a living hell.

True.. you are supposed to be creative in art class, but there are also "creative" ways to find errors in your work. -.- A lot of art teachers are perfectionists... or at least the ones that I've met anyway.
