“If you’re one of these women don’t worry: the (Supreme) Court says it’s still okay for you to sue Wal-Mart — just be sure you hire the best legal team an eight-dollar-an-hour cashier can buy. Because thanks to the Supreme Court, you will have to sue them as an individual — but the $420 billion corporation gets to fight you as a team.”

I just bought the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack from iTunes. Twenty songs for $9.99. Not bad. AND I was weak, so I also bought The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions with Seu Jorge. That one has sixteen songs.
I love the internets.

Ian Craven, London Officer, Allegedly Attempts... →
I felt a little sorry for the officer at first, but then I got to this sentence:
Toronto Star reports Craven is a 30-year veteran of the force, and in 2004, he allegedly left a spaniel in a car, which also died.
Umm, WTF?! What kind of person leaves a dog in the car to die and then forgets that and does the SAME thing 7 years later?!

“I originally thought of the role of the Giver as a vehicle for my father, the late Lloyd Bridges. However, at 61 years old I feel the time is right for me to do it.”

So excited!!!
You know your’e obsessed with a movie when you A) think you own it, but don’t and B) are willing to drive across town at 11:00 to rent it.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, folks. Love it.

If a person is born deaf, what language do they...

They think in pictures
I would imagine they’d use ASL or whatever language they use to communicate.

My presentation went well. I realized I wasn’t signing “married” exactly right, but it was close. It was fun to watch the other folks present. A lot of it was over my head (some of these people are taking the first class for the second time), but every now and then I would understand a sentence and it was awesome!
It’ll be three weeks before I go to my next class....

WatchOkay, as promised, here’s the video of me doing my first ASL presentation. I’ll be presenting it this evening. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Here’s a translation:
Hello. My name is Shannon. I’m a teacher. I’m married. My wife’s name is Laura. I have a daughter. Her name is Soleil. She is one year old. She knows some signs. I have a dog....

ejj22 does! She’s studying ASL at Gallaudet right now and I’m sure she’d love to give you feedback! :)
Thanks! I haven’t made a video of it yet. Still practicing. I’m wondering how to sign “pharmacist.” Would it be “pharmacy” + “agent” or would it be...

I’m learning ASL. I’m hearing, but I’ve always been fascinated by sign language. When my little girl was born, my mom started teaching her some words in ASL. I started watching the Baby Signing Time videos and a few weeks ago I decided to stop talking about learning ASL and actually get to it.
There’s a continuing education class offered at UGA and I signed up....

Saw Lera play this song Thursday night at the Flagpole Awards. Love her.
Athens seems to have a fantastic music scene. I’m jealous. Her voice is lovely.

Every time our local radio station plays Rolling in the Deep by Adele, they censor the word “ship” and it bugs the hell out of me.

How many states have you visited?
27 :) A few of these states I haven’t spent much time in (lunch, short sight seeing, etc). BUT I enjoyed my time there, so i included them. There are also a few others I’ve driven through but left off… Wyoming, for example. Most insignificant state ever.
I forgot Missouri. How could I forget Missouri? Went to a wedding...
Ever wonder why....

On tomorrow’s Fresh Air neuroscientist DAVID LINDEN tells us about the pleasure circuitry of the brain, how it’s activated, and how that sometimes turns into addiction.
Oh yeah! Linden has a new book, too, The Compass of Pleasure.
I want to read this.

A few minutes ago, I got a phone call to interview for a FIRST GRADE position tomorrow. I’m super excited about the interview and about the possibility of having a job next year after being budgeted out of my previous position. However, first grade makes me extremely nervous! There is such a huge distance in terms of development between a 1st grader and a 4th grader.
I’ve...

36 Reasons to Thank Unions
jonathan-cunningham:
Employers and Corporations did not feel generous and decide to give you two days off every week to have a social/personal life. (We now call them weekends). Corporations did not just feel like being nice one day and give their employees paid vacations. CEOs didn’t get together in a board room and say “Let’s give our employees...
Nothing better than relaxing on the couch and catching up on the last four days of tumblr posts.
