What really ticked me off was that I think it was the year after I graduated that they changed the dress code so that girls could wear slacks. I think they were hoping they'd go for them rather than the micro minis that were in style. We had to do the does the hem touch the seat test if they thought our skirts were too short--we had to get on the seat on our knees and keep our back straight so we weren't cheating by getting the hem to touch by slouching.


It was much easier for boys. Black pants, white shirt and a bow tie. As I recall the nuns were much stricter on the girls attire and put them through the ringer at times. Sister Mary of the Sadistic Order of Beatings being the worst.

That's a good one. I watched that movie and I didn't like it no more than I did The Hurt Locker. I think they gave her (Kathryn Bigelow) the Oscar for The Hurt Locker to just piss off James Cameron . . .

For me . . .Avatar was the movie of the year.
I really enjoyed Avatar, too - of course the two times I saw it was at the Imax Theatre in 3D, with Surround Sound - so that may have contributed to my enjoyment of the movie! It was really good.

That reminds me of poignant a line from movie Agnes of God (Anne Bancroft as Mother Miriam Ruth to Jane Fonda as Doctor Martha Livingston): "What have we done to hurt you? And don't deny it, I can smell an ex-Catholic a mile away. What did we do? Burn a few heretics, sell some indulgences? That was in the days when the Church was a ruling body, we let Governments do those things today. So what did we do to you, hey?... "

And I remember back when I was in grade school and we were forced to take recess outside, no matter the weather. Looking back, that would make for a good scene in some movie... of kids playing in the parking lot of the Catholic school. High winds, the snow blowing sideways, boys playing football to stay warm and the girls huddled together discussing who knows what, and a couple of nuns in their long black overcoats, watching over us like guards in a prison.
