Fall TV On DVD

SAT Writing: Colorful Vs. Formulaic

I read an article in Time tonight titled How I Did on the SAT. I have been interested in what the SAT is like now with the additional writing portion that I didn’t have to take. What surprised me the most was John Cloud’s assesment that “the essay readers reward … Continue reading →

I guess I have to make a post about this. My sister is trying out for American Idol. Well, she is leaving next Thursday for Memphis. I just got her a website last night, Amy N Russell. I would’ve posted it up then, but my database was screwing up again. … Continue reading →

I don’t know what’s going on with the boys over at Yahoo Webhosting, but it is really starting to tick me off.
