leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Dear Apple,

Quit trying to download iTunes and Safari for Windows when I'm not looking. DO NOT WANT.

I asked for Quicktime. I don't really LIKE Quicktime, but some places use it, so.

I WANT QUICKTIME ONLY. YOU GET NO MOOLIGANS IN MY SOFTWARE.

Bite me,

L.

(... and why are you allowed to sneak Safari into downloads anyway? Wasn't that called anti-trust a while back? Not that I'm bitter about Apple in general or anything, except that I am.)

epic summer project #1 - 'beachcombing'

title: beachcombing
author: phinnia
illustrator and graphics wizard: jane_hidell
rating: PG
disclaimer: a wandering minstrel I, a thing of shreds and patches. I own nothing.
author's note: first in a sporadically updated set of fluffy wilson-centered ficthings done by request! Writing by me; pixel-Wilsons by jane_hidell. Sounds fun, doesn't it? It IS fun. If you want your own, go here and ask for one! (the rules, which are kind of minimal, are in the post. <3) This one, as requested by north_of_you, features House and Wilson snorkelling.

okay, so the kid has a non-traditional report card system. Scale of 1 to 4; 4 is 'objective met' and 1 is 'little or no progress'.

...

There are four '4' grades and a bunch of '3' grades there this term (significant progress). That accounts for about half his IEP objectives. (Some of the other objectives also need to be reworked after his reassessment with the speech/language tech people. that will happen next year.)

...

...

I don't think this has ever happened before.

...

good god, they're getting through to the boy.

No, really, I'm actually stunned.
