If ever there was a good example of what my students’ writing looked like at ym old University, it’s here:

I don’t want to know what “lingerie piercing” is.
Honest. I wanted to respond to a long and thoughtful comment today, but instead, I ended up redrafting an article for the campus English magazine. The kids, their hearts are in the right place, and they do have some interesting things to say, but… well, there’s a lot of rewriting involved. I know more about cosmetic surgery, foot-binding, gender-reassignment surgery, scarification, branding, and all kinds of other forms of body-modification, much, much more than I ever wanted to know. Including a horrifying newfound familiarity with the term “lingerie piercing”. I’m almost scared to google that. No, wait, I googled it …
The Slave Register?!?!?
So, I go online searching for any information at all about where to ge a kneeling chair or kneeling stool (like this one) within Korea. I haven’t a clue, and most of the furniture places I’ve been only carry standard chairs. So anyway, what do I happen across? A post (I’m not even going to link to it) at The Slave Register. What’s that, you ask? Why, it’s a bulletin board for people who are WILLING SLAVES. You know, like the awful Goreans (as in “fans of Gor”, not “Koreans” misspelled) that I posted about long ago? Idiots. Really, really, …
Much Better, Thank You… (A General Update)
I’m feeling a LOT better, actually. The problem which seems to have kicked in during my time in Seattle is finally ebbing away… slowly, mind, but I’m finally able to take my prescription only occasionally, instead of continuously. Which is good, since one of the pills included in it was an anti-inflammatory. I know better than to once again start sitting for long periods of time, however. Every time I do that even a little, my system acts up and I pay the price. Daily walks seem to be helping, and I’m thinking of investing in one of those chairs …
Linkage
I’m starting to add links to my homepage again, finally. Yes, I’ve gotten around to it. But here’s the thing, I decided to actually add the links to my site manually, in the hope that it would help me cut from my RSS subscriptions whatever I’m actually not reading. This is a slow process, so some people whom I actually do read, aren’t in the link list yet. Be patient, your name may show up eventually. And if it doesn’t, don’t be offended… life is short, and I only really read blogs that I respond to. You’re free to read …
