The Further Adventures of Miss Kitten

The last couple of days I’ve been doing a hypothetical questions exercise in my English classes. Most of the questions aren’t actually mine but copied/pasted from a hypothetical questions website. Jeez, there are websites for anything, aren’t there? Some of the questions have provoked some pretty interesting responses, such as “Would you be willing to [...]

How to do it:

It’s a rather moody picture, but here’s my first attempt at painting a face (mine) and mixing the paints into something resembling skin color:

The image is meant to be viewed horizontally but I switched it to vertical because about a fourth of it was cut off the other way. Viewing it this way it looks [...]

*Miss Kitten takes a few deep breaths and tries to calm herself*
I consider myself to be a reasonable and tolerant person. I appreciate the fact that internet-based communication, whether it’s email, instant messaging, posting on message boards, etc, is not the most formal of communication forms.

I’ve had it with ImageShack. Per Kang’s request I uploaded some photos in order to post them on my blog but the photos, nor the links, didn’t appear. This is not the first time this has happened.

My predictions regarding last week’s snowfall proved to be true. Last Thursday a collective cheer of happiness could be heard from Swedes everywhere as the first snow of the season began to fall. However, their snow-induced joy was cut short when Hurricane Per blew into Western Sweden last weekend. The Swedish national weather service advised [...]

We just started a unit on poetry in my Engelska C class. I gave them an assignment in which they are to select one of the 154 sonnets written by William Shakespeare, translate it into standard modern English, and provide an analysis and interpretation. Each student will then read his or her sonnet to the [...]

The following article was posted over on The Local. The poster doesn’t list the original source or the author, so it’s a good guess that it was written by him (the poster) as some kind of college report or editorial. It’s somewhat academic in tone, and attempts to answer to question of why so many [...]

Apologies for a little cross-blogging here. I posted this over in the Phorum in Marnie’s blog, but I just had to post it here as well. This “poem” has been around for a few years now but it’s still as hilarious as ever. Anyway, here it is:
This following poem is composed entirely of actual quotes [...]
