Never seen it. I’ve barely heard of it honestly. I think you’ve posted some about it, but that’s all I’ve seen. I bet it isn’t on Netflix.
It’s an animated film (and book by Peter S. beagle) that is very near and dear to my heart. It was my favourite movie as a kid. It’s not exactly a happy story but it’s good.
IT IS TOTALLY ON NETFLIX!
I think for the first time, I’ll want to watch it on my own, which means it’ll have to wait until next week probably. I gotta get caught up on TXF first, and, you know, do chores and such while James is at school.
The last Republican debate will (probably) not include Donald Trump. But that doesn’t mean it will lack factually-challenged bluster.
The Republican presidential candidates — excluding Donald Trump — will meet Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa for the final debate before Monday’s caucuses. The final showdown gives them one last chance to convince Iowa voters that they should win the party’s nomination. For many candidates that has meant repeating arguments with a strained relationship with the truth.

Now, see, this pisses me off.
Not everyone learns the same way.
When I was in nursing school, I didn’t take notes in class. You know what I did? I played endless games of pocket tetris. The chair of the nursing program approached me about it once, going so far as to say that she thought for a time that I must have copies of her tests, since I aced everything she tested us on, even though I never appeared to be paying attention.
Visual learners, auditory learners, hands-on learners - everyone’s heard of those types, sure. But that’s not all there is. There’s a 4th learning style that is actually best suited to splitting the focus between disparate activities to learn most effectively. For me, that was playing repetative games or doodling, coloring print outs of Sailor Moon characters or fiddling with small ‘fidget’ toys. An English Lit professor had identified this as my learning style a couple years earlier and lo and behold, I started learning better when I started catering to my actual learning style.
I was lucky; the chair of the nursing program knew about the learning style I exhibited and didn’t bother me again about the fact I sat in the back and played mindless games in her classes. The goal of class is to learn, right? What the fuck does it matter if the person learning does so via note taking or doodling or looking at puppies? To this day I most effectively form associations and recall memories of things I’ve listened to by doing something very different with my hands and eyes.
Don’t assume people are slacking off just because they’re not learning the way you expect them to be.
Wow this makes so much sense

I’ve not really seen it in full, but I think I’ve seen most of it. It didn’t grab me, but I don’t think it was actually a bad movie, just not my type.
This movie is complete trash. I don’t even like romance movies. But there is something about this piece of trash. Of course I also haven’t seen it in years. No idea how it holds up.
Instead of love at first sight, why not nemesis at first sight?
No, I don’t mean hate at first sight. Nemeses don’t even have to particularly dislike each other, though it’s admittedly customary.
I mean their eyes meet from across the room, and there’s a moment of instant, mutual understanding that they will one day battle to the death on some remote, storm-lashed plain with the very fate of the world hanging on the outcome.
“Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?”
All I can think of is Perry the Platypus and Doctor Doofenshmirtz.

Omg It’s so cute! You have to see it! James loves it. ☺ It’s on Netflix here, so we watch it all the time.
