Bah, what is up with LJ recently? If I wanted to post something to Twitter, I would post it directly to Twitter, if I wanted to post it to Facebook, it would go directly to Facebook. If I wanted to connect them all, I would find some third party software type thing. Also if you are replying to a friends locked post in my LJ, please do not crosspost it to Facebook or Twitter!

I also miss the ability to use "control tab" to post stuff, I'm too used to doing that. Is there any way they can come up with some way of "opting out"?

Also what is up with ONTD? I can't stand the new layout and the new look.

I always get this way when changes are made to my sites, I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually

Saw the last Airbender, all I have to say is that I am anxiously awaiting the Rifftrack. Mike, and the bots Kevin, and, Bill have their work cut out for them. Hoping it is out quickly, and that the riff is out shortly afterwords. The movie was bad, but what got me through is wondering how this film will be riffs, what kinds of jokes will be made when Rifftrax rips it to shreds. The twilight films are bad, but are dull, this was just different. When the DVD is released, I'll utilize blockbuster, and Rifftrax.

Anyone else having this issue?

Posting things on LJ, but LJ isn't giving me an e-mails alerting me about responses to posts.

Seeing Conan tonight, all kinds of excited, have my camera, debating whether or not I should take pics?


My camera sucks, but it should be interesting.

Managed to get tickets for Iron Man II on IMAX the first Saturday it is released. However I'm debating whether a night with not too much sleep is worth seeing one of the Thursday midnight screenings.

Watched the newest Doctor Who last night, as was watching I felt compelled to keep a word processing application open and give a play by play on my thoughts about the episode. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4.75, bad but not totally ridiculously over the top horrible. So far I don't like Amy Pond as a companion.  Overall I felt I was watching Lost, meets Farscape, meets Dark City.

Did Moffat really have to go and create a totally new companion for Eleven? How about for the first few episodes, sticking to already established characters. Say what you want about Gwen, but I would take her over Amy Pond. Rani or Maria from The Sarah Jane Adventures?

 

Onto my play by play of the episode:

socialism_vk, how do I know you? Do I have a new Soviet Russian robot friend? How did you find me? I'm on a few comms where there is some crossover from your side of LJ, but from your profile, it doesn't look like you are into the food comms. And your journal seems overtly political, and all in Russian. If you speak English, it would be nice to explain.

If you are a robot, I think robots are fun in all of their artificially intelligent glory. Some of my favorite shows contain robots. I love MST3K, where two out of the three cast members are Robots, and am part of Craig Ferguson's robot skeleton army. Data was always my favorite character on Star Trek The Next Generation, although he is more of an android than a robot.
I have no problems with making friends with robots as long as they follow these simple rules

# A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
# A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
# A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law

For all the teachers on my F'list affected by the big blizzard.

I know that Snow Days are a mess to deal with, and cost valuable classroom time. Usually the solution is adding days at the end of the year. However from what I have seen, when that happens, it is a few days at the very end of June, when it is hot, the curriculum has been covered, and tests are taken if you are in High School. If you aren't, it is usually at the end of the year, when things are winding down, and I don't know if lessons are actually being done.

What is your solution for dealing with snow days? This day in age, would it be feasible to somehow hold classes online? Assign them large chunks of material to read/teach themselves, e-mail any questions that they may need help with, and quiz them the first day the return back?

I just have memories of being in school and doing well on tests right after snow days, because of the extra study time.
