I should have at least known you were talking about "night". I say "Bonne Nuit" about every other night to someone.

Not the really orangy ochre, the warm brown. It's a pretty loose descriptive term to be honest, I think.
Snakes. Why does it always have to be snakes.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
No, keep going! It lets me exercise what little remains of my grasp of the French language.
That's pretty much me. It's unfortunate, really. I didn't like learning French (and so I dropped it last year), but I loved being able to speak it. I wish I was better with languages besides English.
I should go to France sometime! If what I've heard is correct, that should force me to regain some kind of competence with the language, however temporarily. However, I wouldn't really look forward to the prospect of stumbling over every sentence for a week or two.
It's also supposed to be a pretty cool place or whatever.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
*super facepalms*
So, I was absent from school all of last week. 5 days. I send out a mass email to all my teachers, requesting any and all makeup work they want me to do, when I'll be making up tests/quizzes... et cetera. And I got all work from 3 of my 4 teachers, but the 4th, my calculus C teacher, didn't reply. The email said it had been opened (school email's nifty function), but there was no reply. I talk to her today abotu the quizzes and stuff I need to make up (three in total), and she says she marked them down as 0/100s, because I "didn't have the initiative" to come and talk to her, when I emailed her the week before? She denies receiving it, and I'm only able to make up one of the quizzes. So, if I do the very best, I still average a 33% on all of them since I can't make up the other two. !
And yes, this is the same teacher that took points of my grade for using a black pen, that wrote with red ink, when the policy said "red pen". Apparently, the plastic on the outside of the pen has to be red, as well as the ink. So this pen isn't "red".
And I have my cumulative review exam tomorrow (past three chapters! Wahoo!)

Pretty sure there's supposed to be someone you go to and say that your teacher isn't doing their job properly, particularly if you have evidence (from the school's own system, no less) that the teacher is lying to you. Head of department might be a good place to start.

You cannot be serious. That is easily one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. If she told me that, I would have walked straight out of the room and into the principal's office. That's incredibly petty, and a blatant abuse of power.
PROTIP: Teachers, your job is to goddamn teach. Not to show off your authority to teenagers.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
I also have my share of teacher related horror stories. Luckily, the course is an elective and I can drop it, which I will do before Friday.
He gave us an assignment where we were supposed to think up points for and against a case, then present it to the class. He then proceeded to take off marks for me "contradicting" myself. He also refused to take up a test that reduced everyone's average by %10 because we had written it a week before and had probably forgotten all about it. Not to mention blatant favoritism (which may include sexism, but it may just be a coincidence that all the students he dotes on are female).
It feels good to rant, but it feels even better to drop the course.Last edited by Zocelot; 2009-11-17 at 05:47 PM.
Step 1: Get workers to make goods for you.
Step 2: Sell the goods for a higher amount than what you pay the workers.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

Which reminds me, here's something else from the British Isles. *Apologies to all those who may be offended by the inclusion of Ireland in the British Isles. Apologies to all those who think it ought to be, too. Just to cover all my bases*

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
*grins*
Our Production Manager/Stage Manager is making our male moving chorus dance a hornpipe in either 'If You Want to Know Who We Are', 'A Wand'ring Minstrel I' or 'Our Great Mikado'.
Yes.
A hornpipe in 'feudal' Japan. And possibly tapdancing gravediggers.
Because we're awesome like that.
Also she's going crazy with the thematic colouring. Black and pink for everything except the Mikado who is gold.
The chorus is under threat of Scenery Relegation if we wear anything but plain black. It even extends to the colour of the drinks we have in the Act II Finale.
Why does it always seem as if the Act I Finale is bigger than te Act II one. I mean, the vocal score for Mikado Act I is something like twenty pages, but the Act II Finale is about six.
Is it the same for Pinafore?
ION: I finished my essay half an hour ago and edged marginally over the word limit! In celebration I bought myself chips and a Snickers. Before all the chocolatey talk made my hungry.
I am now feasting.
And watching Mikado Act I Finale on YouTube.
Bathatar!
Squid bones are lies.

So I just ran outside wearing very little, so that I could get the mail. My mailbox is right under a streetlight, so if anyone had looked, I would have been fully illuminated.
I kinda hope no one was looking out the window at that time.Avatar by Serpentine.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Well, in 'A Wand'ring Minstrel' it could actually make sense, since there's the bit about a song of the sea.
Black drinks? That's fairly extreme.
I guess because at the end of Act I everything is happening all at once, whereas the Act II finale just rounds things off.
And yes. Pinafore Act I finale, pages 58-86 in the vocal score. Act II finale, pages 141-150."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."
