Worst likeness of Dickens ever: http://flickr.com/photos/jb... |
Seeing the bookstore's buyback trailer always makes me irrationally crabby. Unrelated: Home and office collapsing under piles of books. |
I shouldn't complain, since my office has a window, but there's a breeze pouring through it that stirs the paper on my desk--and its 29f. |
@VMartin I *still* have flashbacks--and not in a good way--to seeing Diamond in Hartford this summer. |
It's weird when the iPod's holiday shuffle switches from Shane MacGowan to Neil Diamond. |
Here're my slides on teaching w/blogs & twitter: http://tinyurl.com/6ez6nc (blog post soon) |
Getting ready to give a presentation in the morning on teaching w/blogs & twitter. |
Commenting on updates to my Victorian Timeline; as always, surprised by what students think is/isn't important. http://tinyurl.com/5oaj5y |
A little gobsmacked that someone appears to have boosted a package of essays I'm supposed to be judging for a prize. WTF? |
Dental Hygienist: "does this hurt?" No. DH: "what about this?" No. DU: "Is English your first language?" Good times. |
What idiot goes to the dentist during the end-of-semester crunch? Oh, right. |
Ending class on a crazed bang: "Like automated turds, [the men] dropped out of the steam man's butt & into the coolness of the night." |
Impediment to wiki demo: School district's netnanny censorware blocks all pbwiki subdomains. |
Getting ready to be in two places at once: Give a presentation to the PTA about wikis, *and* at a film presentation for a class. |
@marissablaszko wins the Twitter typo of the evening: "sleep depravation." Sounds about right for early December. |
In which the 5-yr-old is pretentious about ballet: "It's good, but not as much as the Joffrey last year in Chicago." |
In our seats for the Albano Ballet's Nutcracker at CCSU. |
@Hulotct Worse--I dream they've been writing papers all along, so in addition to the real unfinished ones, there's a secret dream-pile. |
Had my usual end-of-semester dream last night: Not only was I behind in grading (true), but I'd forgotten a composition class all semester. |
First thing learned from this semester: there is such a thing as too much flexibility. # of previous times I've "learned" this: at least 9. |
