Larry Flynt

Okay so now a new day and a new blog. I'm afraid I have nothing really interesting to say here. What do bloggers who do nothing during a day really talk about? I guess some people can write about just anything and make it interesting.

Oh, I guess I could write about my student who thinks he's the next frickin' Larry Flynt, who wrote me a totally inappropriate essay and I told him to rewrite it and then I get this email from him "debating" it. Harumph. I told him it was NOT open for debate. I'm not against porn within a proper context, but that context is NOT my classroom, thank you very much. These kids have seen Clueless too many times and think that they can negotiate their grades. No way, no how. Not only that, but I'm a much better negotiator than they are. So don't get me started buddy boy. I mean, if Larry Flynt was in my first year Comp course, I would tell him the same damn thing. "Look Larry, love that publishing empire you got there. Good work with the First Ammendment and all. That story on Falwell-- funny. But don't write it in here. Give me something about your family's old home, or trees or something." and then I'd say "Hey Larry, can I borrow 100 bucks?" No, probably not that last part. My boss probably wouldn't want me to borrow money from a student.

Angst!! Terrible angst! My blog is uncool and boring!!!! (that last should be said in a Golem voice. Precioussssss.)
