  1. "I remember around three o'clock that afternoon I was standing way the hell up on top of Thomsen Hill, right next to this crazy cannon..."
  2. If more teachers @ Pencey Prep (or edu-techies in genearal blogosphere) asked what @ryanbretag asks re: "new" and tech, we'd make progress.
  3. If only Pencey Prep hired folks like @smartinez. Her "Twitter as metaphor for classroom" ( http://tinyurl.com/6pcy6x ) is NO phony!
  4. As for all the other days, mixture of melancholy and teen angst? Well, I hear rumors that Elliot Smith might have been someone I could dig.
  5. On the good days when writing short stories came easy to me, I sure wish bands like Sigur Ros put out 45s. My brain needed lovely melodies.
  6. "They advertise in about a thousand magazines, always showing some hotshot guy on a horse jumping over a fence."
  7. "Where I want to start telling the story is the day I left Pencey Prep..You've probably heard of it. You've probably seen the ads, anyways."
  8. "If there's one thing I hate, it's the movies. Don't even mention them to me."
  9. Retweet: Let's say Holden = real kid. Should he blog (or Tweet) using his own name? Or should he don an old hunting cap of a virtual mask?
  10. Let's say Holden was a real kid. Should he blog (or Tweet) using his own name? Or should he don an old hunting cap of a virtual mask? Mmm.
  11. "(D.B.) wrote this terrific book of short stories, "The Secret Goldfish", in case you never heard of him...It killed me."
  12. Sort of like deja vu. Sort of. http://tinyurl.com/5zlzwk But I'm crazy like that.
  13. Wonder if I had read about a guy just like me if it would have kept me interested in school. Or would I have called him a phony?
  14. Wonder if good ol' Percey Prep will give me academic credit for this web 2.0 project: http://tinyurl.com/6mnmho
  15. "...and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all."
  16. "I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down..."
  17. You see, good ol' @gapingvoid sure would make life @PenceyPrep so much better: http://tinyurl.com/5nhxkh
  18. Me & D.B. are in a debate: Let's just say that Mr. Antolini's class had access to this wifi web 2.0 business. What would that truly change?
  19. @stellth: Nah. Too busy trying to trust Phoebe about that brass ring thing. D.B. and that English babe of his are drivin' me nuts, however.
  20. "They're nice and all...but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole...autobiography or anything."
