tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63338132011-04-21T21:10:39.113-07:00 This was started as one of my assignments for English 207: Introduction to Cultural Studies: Cyberculture. As such, some of the content pertains to concepts introduced in the course. Don't worry, there are other things-a hodgepodge of ideas with an aura of organized choas. Read, laugh, think, scoff- whatever. As long as you get something out of it, then it can be said to have been worthwhile. I think it's important to know why you're wasting your time. javakelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13106002262925991194noreply@blogger.comBlogger131100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333813.post-1102244746002446552004-12-05T02:45:00.000-08:002004-12-05T03:08:39.066-08:00

I'm actually surprised. I didn't think I'd like the play, but I enjoyed it. What play am I referring to? I speak of Ben Jonson's Volpone. Maybe it's the medium, but I appreciated his sharp wit and cutting timing. It's meant to be watched as well as read. The setting is far less important in a staged production of a work. It's all diologue and character development. That might quicken the pace.

I think I really need to get out of the dorms. Really, that seems to be a large part of my problem. My schedule just doesn't "coordinate" with everyone else's, yet I keep on trying to do it. As a result, I end up putting off all of my work, figuring, "Well I can get it done later, when everyone else is asleep". Yes, I *can* do that, but not all of the time. The thing is that I think my next

Can someone please tell me why I'm still up? I don't really remember the last time I slept...might be nearing two days now. And it's only been a couple of weeks since I went for 4 days without sleeping. I need a break.

There's no way that I'm going to be able to contain all of the information that I've been getting in a paper of any sort that will make any sense whatsoever. That sentence didn't even make any sense. That's the extent of the lunacy of it all. Nothing makes sense. Nothing. Yet another problem- organization. I don't know how all of this should fit together so that it at least affects some semblance

Sometimes I honestly wonder if there's such a thing as "thinking too much". I often analyze things, but it really isn't what most would consider "conscious". In other words, it's not like I actually try to make it a point to read into certain things in a particular way. It just kind of happens that way sometimes. At the same time, I think it provides some great opportunities to make it productive

I write, therefore I am. I think someone said something like that once. If not, someone should have, damnit. It has to be somewhat true, as it seems to be for me at the moment. Or, maybe, this is the first time I've actually "done" anything about it. It's not like I never ever have the urge to write anything. That couldn't be further from the truth, quite actually. I write a lot. But it's mostly

I think I like the concept of looping. According to Dr. Terry Bergeson, Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state of Washington, this is "the practice of keeping students with the same teacher two years in a row". In November 2004's Message from the State Superintendent, it was referred to as a 'learning strategy', not merely a 'WASL strategy'. Either way, the concept is, quite

I weep! "I think it does lead to divisiveness. Our school district is on a plan of assistance because of our special education scores. We decided to mainstream our special ed population so that they could be with science teachers (for example) that are 'highly qualified'. You should have heard our staff meeting. A teacher that I highly respect was amazingly blunt about how she wouldn't care,

"No, I reckon I don't got no reason to kill nobody...mmmhhmmm." Can I say how much I love the movie Sling Blade? Who knew Billy Bob Thornton could be so perfect for a role? It's kind of like Johnny Depp with Pirates of the Carribean. It has to be a mixture of actor and role. There really isn't any other way to look at it. It's only common sense. Oh, and, ba-duh-bah...the segue. Why can't people

Okay, how come I'm not the only one who sees the flaw in the logic here? How could so many BIA schools have been "overbuilt" when I didn't know that a lot of them even existed before now? I find that quite intriguing. Anyone would with any bit of sense. Yet again, grey area concerning Indian Education. It's everywhere I tell you. Everywhere. Just think about the fact that schools with Native

Really now, why hasn't anyone made any connections? I could see them through and through. Can see them. So there's some definite problems with NCLB from any standpoint, but from Indian Education?? The prospects aren't particularly promising or pleasing. So where does that leave "us"? If I were in a different position, I'm pretty sure I'd have a differnt answer. That, at least, I'll have to

I swear that I'm hearing voices. I hope they're wafting in from outside, bouncing off of the brick in unexpected ways. If not? There's another possibility I suppose. That would be that they're pressing through the wall from the room next to mine. But for some reason that doesn't sound quite right. That doesn't sound like Gordy at all!! *chuckles* Ahh...but that would be the irony my dear friend
