A sweet lesson

[kelliem]

I thought my fellow "grammar-nazis" might appreciate this blog entry from Cakewrecks:

I am an American English teacher at a big elementary school not far from Seoul, South Korea. My Korean coworkers heard me laughing so hard that they came over to my desk to investigate. Clever as I am, I told them I was working on my next lesson, which I wasn't... until I realized that I WAS! ...

(You should definitely read the rest of the entry. And peruse Cakewrecks while you're at it.)

Yes indeedy! I love today's post "The alien armada, coming in for a landing."

Okay, I admit it . . . I actually liked the beehive one and its whole idea. Mmmmm, honey cake?

I love that post! And I haven't been checking my RSS aggregator lately, so I might otherwise have missed it. I also love that icon every time I see it.

In completely unrelated and very random news, a younger friend was complaining today that he couldn't see what Mary Ann Singleton saw in her "loser boyfriend" (i.e., Brian.) I replied that I couldn't really see what _he_ saw in _her_, but had to rethink my position after reflecting on how much my mental image of both characters is shaped by your "Shadows Fade." I've re-read it quite a few more times than I've read any of the original Tales books! Anyway, I linked him to the story - I'll let you know if it changes his opinion of Brian at all. :)

Yeep! I hope you warned him about it being slash! :D

well, he's reading Tales to begin with... But he's also queer and trans, so yeah, he was up for slash. :)
