Why is canceling a subscription so hard?
here’s a crazy story: I bought a month subscription to the DM Rag to get two opinion articles to use for my Journalism class. $1. Cancelled with no problem But… Now my school email is in their database. I’ve clicked on Unsubscribe many times to get a Page Not Found error message. I sent an... -
Friday OT - School’s Out Forever!
Our last day with students. Pretty chill in my classroom - some have played hangman, which has been fun interactions with the students. Other classes not so much into it. Really, I'm just killing time and filling in grades until the seventh period. They have must-do presentations to complete... -
Put Together an Album
One more. It’s an EP. You guess the theme: Pictures of Lilly, The Who Blister in the Sun, Violent Femmes Dancing With Myself, Billy Idol Longview, Green Day -
Your favorite movie that your significant other would never get or enjoy like you wish they would.
Insert any sci-fi movie here. Sigh. -
What music are you listening to right now?
R50 (kind of a given) Enjoying the new Counting Crows. The new Lady Gaga is -
Your Holy Grail of Cyclone Game Memorabilia
That game and the Ok (Ok State?) game back when Fred was playing were the loudest I've heard Hilton. I remember Mihm was the talk of the town - couldn't be stopped, #1 draft pic, yadda yadda yadda. Fizer came into that game with a mission and owned Mihm like my dog on a rag doll! I had...- Joe4Cy

Your Holy Grail of Cyclone Game Memorabilia
I was at that game. All the talk was "Is Fizer going pro or coming back for his senior year?" After that dunk, I turned to my gf and we both said "he's gone." I would like what was left of Chris Mihm!- Joe4Cy

Worst Movies Ever
This; what's unfortunate is that they get blamed for the badness of it and women are, once again, relegated to the back seat and the myth that "women aren't funny." Maybe the writing and director could be held accountable? -
Friday OT - There’s Nerds Over There!
Not much of a gamer anymore; however .... Pitfall. Atari 2600 EDIT: Did I just date myself?! ('Cause no one else will!) -
When will you be able to retire?
Still working the mortgage, have a son who just finished Y1 at Wisconsin and another graduating high school next year (more than likely going to ISU - at least I raised 1/2 right!). I'm looking at 14 more years, so around 71 or 72. That being said - I love what I do and those years are going...- Joe4Cy

What's everyone reading?
Two recommendations for you: This Is How You Lose the Time War. A fascinating piece of two soldiers traveling through time in a never-ending battle. They respect each other and, over time, a relationship develops. Fascinating in how the story is told; beautiful in the imagery. How High We Go... -
What's everyone reading?
Had to read MD for one of my English lit classes. Phew - there were times I didn't know if I'd survive. Honestly, I can't tell you if I actually finished it or not! Yet, here I am, teaching HS English! It can be challenging to find books that will engage students who, more and more, either... -
The Equalizer canceled
My brother lives in LA and has friends and friends of friends in the industry. It's a challenging time now, due to the number of options for media. Shows now are meant to grab viewers and keep them hooked. They're writing for the first season, rather than an ongoing series. Rather than getting... -
What's everyone reading?
Was recently introduced to Jon Scalzi. Reading Lock In right now, with Red Shirts in the queue. Still not sure yet but willing to give him a chance. I fell in love with Vonnegut back in the 1990s when I was still at ISU. Will read him over and over. Mostly his short stories - still working on...
