No....Not Again...PLEASE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Well, I administered my first exam since I started teaching four years ago. Never needed to give final exams in my Comp classes, but this film course required one. I was hell for me to have to sit through 3 hours of it, I can only imagine what it was like for the students. Then again, they have no room to complain. I now have two days to grade 50 final exams each consisting of 4 essays at the average length of 9 handwritten pages total. I am NOT looking forward to grading them. I don;t think I will ever be able to leave the house.

But, the consolation is that I can hang at Sara's house and grade them while she goes to North Carolina for the week. Lucky her. I had thought of going with her, and I had thought of just going away for the week, but some stuff came up and I won;t be able to go much of anyplace, so I will be house/catsitting for her which suits me just fine. If all goes well, maybe I can shootup to NY in August and see some shows and visit some friends. I need a break or something. My mind is just fried. I am also thoroughly fucking bored with no show to do, but hopefully that will change within the next couple of weeks.

Now, on a COMPLETELY different note, I wanted to share a lovely little phrase that I have revived from my lexicon on intelligent and cultural insults that no one would get: Duplicitous and Manipulative Sow. Allow me to break it down for you:

Duplicitous

Function: adjective

Date: 1928

Definition:contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action; especially : the belying of one's true intentions by deceptive words or action

Manipulative

Function: transitive verb

Date: 1831

Definition:to change by artful or unfair means so as to serve one's purpose

Sow

Function: noun

Date: before 12th century

Definition:an adult female swine; also : the adult female of various other animals (as a bear)

Why pray tell, you are probably asking yourself, did I feel the need to mention this? Because, I have officialy titled a girl I know this. It is indelibly etched in my consciusness now as the only viable connection for someone of her personage. It fits her to a "t" (what the fuck does that mean anyways?) and like Cinderella it fits her nasty feet. I feel it important to educate my readers of the various ways of insulting people and I find that this little three-word gem works perfectly in those instances when saying "bitch" is just not good enough.
