Blonde Bookworm
My blogs
| Introduction | By day, I am a twenty-something writer and junior high English, drama & journalism teacher. By night, I ghost-bust and punch flies. True story: Sometimes when I'm feeling sassy, the opening clarinet solo in Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" plays in my noggin. |
|---|---|
| Favorite Music | Bronze Lullaby, the Taco Bell Cannon, Beethoven's Erotica, Tchaikovsky Cracknutter Suite, and Gershwin's Rap City in Blue |
| Favorite Books | All of them. My goal is to have an entire wall of books someday, so I can install a sliding ladder and sing songs with French words in them like Belle. |
If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay?
Clay deposits are mostly composed of clay minerals, a subtype of phyllosilicate minerals, which impart plasticity and harden when fired or dried. They also may contain variable amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure by polar attraction. Duh.
