letter to Wondertime Magazine:


I'm reading your article based on pre-school philosophies, and I'd like to point out a couple things - #1, the red shame panties? not a montessori tenet -that's your child's particular school. the reggio emilio peace place? that's actually a montessori thing. Just saying.

things to keep in mind - not all home water filters filter out fluoride; i consider that a good thing.

Tap Water and Water Filtration Systems - an overly hippie viewpoint, I think

Brita FAQ - Does BRITA reduce / remove fluoride ? The BRITA Water Filter System does not remove fluoride from tap water. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion and does not react with the components of the BRITA Filter Cartridge. - Well, that's pretty definitive.

Q. How do the units affect fluoride?
A. The PUR Self-Monitoring Water Filters do not signifigantly reduce the level of fluoride in the water source. - Pur. Well, that's less definitive.

I know a lot of people consider it a scary stalker song, but I really like "Every Breath You Take." I've liked it since I was little.

I was saying to clio214 and ladygwyn the other day that 2006 was a really big year for me, musically. It pretty much started with discovering She Wants Revenge, and going to NiN in February.

From a "Supernatural" recap on TWOP:
If these people are "teenagers" then I'm a twice-baked potato.

another TWOP quote, this time from a GG recap:
Watching this clip from The Polar Express makes me want to hit the X button on my Playstation controller to skip ahead the badly acted, oddly soulless, dead-eyed actors in the skits between the actual videogame and go back to the real fun.

Jenn,
Today is a highly charged day with the potential for intense focus, so setting a steady work pace early will keep you on track. Having too much to do at work could bring up feelings of deep resentment. You could become overwhelmed and just give up if you fall behind the busy pace. Stay strong and things will lighten up soon enough.

***********
Last night I dreamt about a very nice apartment with two big bedrooms and a huge closet and a small room that would be a good computer (or yarn) room. I also dreamt that I was in a video game - it went back and forth between being live action and action on a screen. I never killed anything in live action, just onscreen. When characters talked, it was in live action. It was a very interesting dream.

Today I am sleepy, sleepy, sleepy.

I'm so tired today. I pushed myself rollerskating last night, which is good, but then I ended up staying up later than I wanted. Tonight's plan is to go to bed very, very early.
