[20 Jun 2008|02:21pm] Fire In The Heaven of the Eyes I knew Until I Fall Away Drifting

[20 Jun 2008|03:46pm] [ mood | contemplative ] [ music | Zetsubo Billy ] I don't know what made me think about this, but today I got to thinking about how in 2nd and 3rd grade I was forced to learn cursive in school for some reason. It didn't make a whole lot of sense because a lot of the kids couldn't even tell time yet, and I don't think making them learn a whole other writing system was that smart. But anyways, I looked up "cursive" on wikipedia, so here is the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive It certainly brought back memories. Well not that many, just mostly the one where the class had to write a bunch of really long strange random words in cursive and turn them in before they could go down to the cafeteria for lunch. I had difficulty with cursive (mostly I blame the way it was taught to me for example "m in cursive is three humps instead of two" wtf does that even mean? Plus its not really. So anyways I remember like all the other kids had left to go to lunch and I was really hungry, but I couldn't go because I was still writing the word "tyrannosaurus rex". Cursive wasn't so much the problem here, but that I had -no- idea how to spell the word to begin with. But I felt embarrassed and hungry all the same. I guess thats sorta when I started hating most teachers more than I already did since the teacher was giving me a hard time about it. So anyways, long story short, did anyone who reads this have to learn cursive in school? I guess I ask because this girl I was teaching Japanese to who was from Germany and had learned English there in school had no idea what I was talking about when I was trying to show/talk to her about cursive. Then she said it was sorta taught in English history language classes for more advanced students. So again, anyways, was everyone else taught cursive too? 4 comments| Drifting

Telecom Granted Immunity [20 Jun 2008|06:16pm] Yay for Democrats in congress /sarcasm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7466544.stm Telecom granted immunity a section: The two sides reached a compromise, whereby telephone companies would not be automatically immune, but courts would be obliged to dismiss a suit against a firm if it is able to produce written certification that the White House asked it to participate in the program and assured the firm it was legal. I guess there is a monarch now.. and Bush gets to say what is and isn't legal.. and now his monarchy is legal. 2 comments| Drifting
