It's just too easy, isn't it ? It's like shooting fish in the deep fryer.
I know. I know. instead of cursing the darkness, I should be lighting a candle. But Mctraining the McStaff in stuff they should have Mclearned in third grade is not my Mcjob today.
In our last Textbuilding class, students worked on developing problem paragraphs after initially receiving a topic and a topic sentence, as well as myriad resources from which to glean supporting details. The task appeared simple enough at first blush, but the difficulty, the students told me, lay in the conceptualization of the topic itself, as perhaps the complexity of the topic sentence more mislead and befuddled than clarified. Consequently, I drew this diagram which visually represents that which the students must consider and, at length, write about. The diagram did the trick.
With the conceptualization of the topic finished, students began writing in earnest. They posted compositions on Google Documents, so as to allow me to conveniently read and to add my comments to them; and, teacher input being insufficient for their editing needs, students will also proofread each other's paragraphs, and employ the prodigious editing tools available in this software. In addition, Google Documents is my platform of choice because a rainbow of colors are at writers' disposal: each student in their next lesson will add and highlight linking words in blue; and perhaps highlight each kind of supporting detail featured in their paragraph.

Our kingdom for a CMS!
Experimentation was at the heart of this newspaper project. A chance for us to remind ourselves of the process of creating copy for a deadline, without the luxury of a CMS and theoretically movable deadline.
We had to meet the 2pm, Tuesday 25 January deadline with Newspaper Club in order to get these papers in the post in time for delivery on 1st February.
In the rush and as expected, some things were missed and exist here, all marked up for all to see, as a sobering memory of a legacy of print which digital, theoretically, can help us hide.
Thank you to Sarah Castleton for the mark-up.
And the The Grauniad for the solidarity.

Well, not exactly. I was rereading the essay I thought was due tonight, but I guess the due date changed until next week. It's yet another essay about Romanticism, and guess what I wrote about? Drrr, music.
Last week, we were assigned to write a paragraph about how we thought certain things during the Romantic Period fit in to the Romanticism idea. I actually wrote about politics, paintings, literature and music. What the assignment was for last week, was to take that paragraph and turn it to an essay.
My face in the picture is expressing a, "Did I really just write that" attitude. Examples being:
"Did I reeeeally just write two pages on the french horn solo in Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony?" Yep...
"Did I really write four pages on Beethoven's Rasumovsky Quartets and Pastoral Symphony?" Oops... Yes..
"Did I really just write three pages on Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique!?!?!" *cough*overachiever*cough*.
"Hmmm... Did I really write two and a half pages about Schubert's Lieder and Song Cycles?" Erm, yeah... I did...
"MY GOD! Did I write four pages on Goya's Black paintings?" F*@?.
This essay... Is way too f*@?!ng long, and hand written!!! I rewrote each page at LEAST twice to make sure the poor guy can read it... But, since the due date has changed... AFTER I wrote it... I can probably narrow it down... Not to mention the segments about the French Revolution and Poe are included too... I need to just.. Not analyze for a while. I guess the most challenging part of this essay is to condense everything in to a survey, and to not make one topic greater than the other. Although, I feel as though I should hand in this essay separately just to get my professor's opinions. I feel as though I've exceeded his expectations, and he's told me on several occasions and private conversations outside of class that he wishes he could assign papers that include higher expectations... But the school sets the standards and curriculum, not the professors (lo and behold, they're working without a contract... again). But then again, you can motivate students that hate to read only so far... Which is not very far at all, after reading samples of their writing. Meh. What can I say? I just like to write about things I am so passionate about.
But now that I mention that horn solo... I really need to see a live performance of it so I can cry over it again. It's one of those moments that you just sit back in your seat and just think to yourself, "Wow...", and just sit motionless, completely awestruck by something so sad, but expressed in such a brilliant and beautiful way. Gets me.. Every. F*@?!ng. Time. It would probably be the ultimate way to win me over and would probably make you one of the most significant people in my life... Also, it'll get me to shut up for a reeeeeeeally, really long time. Trust me, everyone wants that! Oh, and while you're at it.. a Stravinsky ballet would be amazing, too... Firebird Suite, Petrushka, and Rite of Spring I could comment on for HOURS. No one wants that!
The day after Dickens' 200th birthday, I thought I'd continue reading one of our Dickens books to Jeremy. We picked Little Dorrit at random, only to find a "serious" spelling mistake at the end of the fourth paragraph on page 17. Shocked and disappointed to find that, even in the days of manual typesetting and professional proofreaders, mistakes were made. I thought sloppiness was a "Modern Thing"

A walk down Hollywood Blvd. I had to do it because we were staying so close.
The Musso & Frank Grill’s history is as rich and colorful as Hollywood itself. Opened in 1919 by entrepreneur Frank Toulet, who joined forces with Oregon restaurateur Joseph Musso and brilliant French chef Jean Rue, the restaurant quickly became known for outstanding service and culinary excellence.
The pair sold the restaurant in 1927 to two Italian immigrants, Joseph Carissimi and John Mosso, who years later moved The Musso & Frank Grill next door to 6667 Hollywood Blvd., where it still stands.
Musso's exclusive, storied Back Room opened in 1934. Guarded by a discerning and austere maitre d’, the Back Room was a legendary private space reserved for the Hollywood elite. Eventually, the lease on the Back Room expired. Today, the restaurant’s New Room holds the Back Room’s original famous bar, light fixtures and furniture from 1934.
Deals were made on the old pay phone — the first pay phone to be installed in Hollywood. Scripts were discussed over a famous Musso’s martini. Contracts were signed over exquisite meals of Roast Duck and Lamb Chops. Stars were born.
From the beginning, Musso’s has been a favorite among Hollywood’s A-list. Charlie Chaplain was an early regular. Often seen lunching with Mary Pickford, Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks, Chaplin — legend has it — would challenge Douglas to a horse race down Hollywood Boulevard, and the winner had to pick up the tab at Musso’s. Charlie would win and gloat over a plate of Roast Lamb Kidneys, his favorite Musso’s meal.
In the ‘20s and ‘30s, it wasn’t uncommon to see Greta Garbo and Gary Cooper having breakfast together — flannel cakes and fresh coffee, of course. Or to bump into Humphrey Bogart having drinks at the bar with Dashielle Hammett or Lauren Bacall.
In the ‘50s, Hollywood legends like Marilyn Monroe (flanked by Joe DiMaggio), Elizabeth Taylor and Steve McQueen could be found enjoying drinks and appetizers in Musso’s famous Back Room. Jimmy Stewart, Rita Hayworth, Groucho Marx and John Barrymore also had starring roles at Musso’s.
Musso’s became a literary hangout in the 1930s, when studio executives began to recruit great American authors to Hollywood, hoping their names would help sell tickets. With the Screen Writers Guild just across the street, the writers — tired of working under the execs’ watchful eyes — began to spend time at the restaurant.
If they weren't in Musso’s Back Room, they could be found at the Stanley Rose Bookshop, which at the time was Musso’s neighbor to the east.
Working late into the night under the comforting amber glow of the great chandeliers in the famous Back Room, writers like literary greats F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and Raymond Chandler could have considered Musso’s a second home.Fitzgerald was known to proofread his novels while sitting in a booth at Musso’s. Faulkner met his mistress of 20 years here, and was so chummy with the bartenders in the Back Room, that he used to go behind the bar to mix his own mint juleps. Raymond Chandler wrote several chapters of “The Big Sleep” while sipping drinks in the Back Room. T.S. Elliot, William Saroyan, Aldous Huxley, Max Brand, John Steinbeck, John O’Hara and Dorothy Parker also made their home at the Musso’s bar.After the Back Room closed and the bar moved to its current location in the New Room in 1955, the tradition lived on, and new generations of writers found themselves at Musso's. Following in the footsteps of the masters who had inspired them, writers like Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski became regulars, who, along with their martinis and highballs, drank up the creative juices left behind by their heroes.

Editors don't seem to find typography, proofreading or even basic spelling
all that important any longer. Slate's bad, but not nearly as bad as some,
and even the New York Times has FAR more spelling and grammar errors than
they ever used to. We're turning into a nation of morons, and I worry that
this election will seal the deal.

Cy Twombly would have been greater artist,
if worked in any department
of a large multinational corporation,
and Van Gogh, too.
Every day in the office are made kilograms of art, a new contemporary art, imbued with a thin layer fat of clerk , in rare cases meat of clerk. You just have to break away from The Word and for a moment to open your eyes. In general, a person is very difficult to face the non-art in their lives.
Represented here today - just a small part of what was saved from office space in one and a half years. As you can see, the soul does not die before the end in folds nanoconcrete vaults.
What I propose today - it's fast food from painting. By all subcultures fast food (including metaphysical) - my works is pure semi-finished goods, the materials are all that may come to office space inside the pens, used alone and not once paper, scanner HP, text markers, markers, pencils , glue, proofreaders, colored stickers.
Hanging on the walls foamboards - at the junction of waste, theft, and painting - inspired by the smell of our post-industrial times. It should be noted with regret only one thing: it is hardly possible to plunge into the works until the end, because we have long been there.
All work from the series Office plankton is created in a 15-minute smoking breaks, which are accepted in the infinite spaces of modern post-industrial office corporations in the world where human personality has long been turned into a system, a small gear, which could easily be thrown out and replaced by a new one. Cri de coeur for the loss of particles of the divine personality, the transformation of the individual into a full-fledged man-caused machines - exactly what the audience sees in each of the works.
In view of certain socio cultural triggers, each of the works can not be set apart from the name or without name.
This is Elodie. She's happy....

Hah, yep. I was bored and almost forgot about this pic.
Anndddddd... I decided to release ch.1 soon. I need it proofread and the photos and everything, though. (By the way, I've written ch.3! :O)

Unfortunately, Gregory Corso couldn't proofread this: "Spirt?" I can just imagine the Italian stonemason struggling with these English words.
Spirit
is Life
It flows thru
the death of me
endlessly
like a river
unafraid
of becoming
the sea
From "Marriage":
Should I get married? Should I be good?
Astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and faustus hood?
Don’t take her to movies but to cemeteries . . .
Corso is one of the few -- if there are any other -- Catholics buried in the cemetery. His tomb is just in front of Shelley's. According to his daughter: “My father loved Rome more than any other city in the world.”

I don't think the fancy embossed leather will make a difference to my assets
(and a thanks to Mike Hauptman.. for the proofreading)
I spotted this at work today.
Someone needs a proofreader: Three spelling mistakes in just one tiny sign!
Apparently the people at the US Open don't proofread their own site. Azarenka and Hantuchova are women. Nadal and Robredo are men.
NBC News first believed Neil Young had died in the long list of celebrities whose death days have been broadcast daily in the media. He did write the song Harvest Moon, featured on the Comes A Time Album. Maybe that's where the Moon comes in. Neil Armstrong was the unfortunate one to pass on the other day or was it Lance Armstrong? No, he was the one whose titles for the Tour de France were withdrawn. Maybe it was the credit for the moon shot that was being taken away from that other Neil. Which one I ask?
They spent who knows how many millions of dollars to open a new lift, but not enough money on a proofreader for the new signs.
Sign reads:
Welcome to
Symphony Amphitheatre
Over 1,000 acres (or 404.6 hectares) of alpine bowls and subalpine
glades with 500 vertical meters of skiing to the Symphony Express.
The area was developed with minimal change to it's [sic]
ecosystem retaining its pristine natural character.

Jobs related to Open Source are still plentiful, it seems. Everybody looking to hire just the right person (where the "right person" means "somebody who can work in the US", it seems).
Advertisement quality varied from professionally printed (and proofread) sheets to notes scribbled on business cards.
This visualization attempts to explain the writing process. We all start with planning, but when we move to the drafting stage, we diverge as writers and follow our own path, moving back and forth among the components such as coferring, rethinking, revising, editing, proofreading, and more plannning. Sometimes we will publish our work and sometimes we will not.

Don't worry; it was only up for a little over 2 hours.
Once they're out of beta, all massages will be proofread.
Doesn't anyone proofread the tags? Guess not because these errors would have been too easy to spot! As a consumer, I certainly read every tag attached to anything that I buy.
Thanks for the comfortable pants though. Read your tags!
