Feb. 12th, 2003 06:04 pmI wonder whether the baby likes my music, or is irritated by it? She starts going nuts every time I play music on my laptop.
I suppose that if I were a good mom, I'd begin playing Mozart. Get her brain developing. At least I took Eminem out of the playlist.
I'm having a very argumentative day. I've spent the day having mental arguments with people in my head, and have had to stop myself from posting snarky comments in several random people's journals.
( Things I'd like to say to people )
I must do laundry soon.
The format of my online class is kind of bugging me. We have to post at least three comments per week - one original comment, and two replies to comments of other people. At least two of these comments have to be posted 24 hours apart (for example, two one day, and one the next day) in an effort to keep everyone from trying to do all three at the last minute.
The problem is that no partial credit is given. If you post 2 comments, you get 0 credit. If you post 3 comments and one isn't considered acceptable, you get 0 credit. If you post 3 comments, but less than 24 hours apart, you get 0 credit.
It's also been difficult to think of comments that are more than just "I agree" for this week's topic, since it isn't one that inspired a whole lot of variety in thinking or major discussion.
The teacher is also posting very confusing instructions for the non-online assignments. It isn't clear whether we have four assignments due at the first midterm, or whether we can turn them in at the start of any midterm.
I still like the class, though.
Must do homework for my other class tonight.

Feb. 12th, 2003 06:52 pmEducational baby toys (and probably the majority of educational toys for older kids) are a capitalist plot. By marketing these flashy, noisy, migraine inducing things as educational, they're implying that if you don't buy it for your kid, they won't be able to develop some vitally important skill and will end up STUPID! Or at least not as smart as all the other kids whose parents were smart/rich/nice/gullible enough to buy their kid a multicolored dancing hippopotamus that sings a different song each time you poke its eye. Look! They're learning hand-eye coordination, cause and effect, and the delight of gouging eyes (utterly vital in the business world. Your child will be a failure if s/he does not learn this as early as possible) all at once!
Because poor deprived kids like Laura Ingalls, who was happy to get a single tin cup for Christmas, were STUPID, you know?

Feb. 12th, 2003 07:26 pmI realized, while heading out the door to put the laundry in the dryer, that I had forgotten to add laundry detergent.
That's ok. They're couch/chair coverings that are covered in cat hair. They can probably use another washing. It's just annoying to have to go out in the rain and waste another 75 cents.
And yes, I'm making a purposeful, concerted effort to take over everyone's friends page.
