that ridiculous feeling when...
So I specifically tried to be the hardest, most challenging of all Intro to College Writing instructors last semester. I did this assuming that reading my end-of-term evaluations would be an exercise in masochism and that I was sacrificing popularity for the quality of their writing ( Read more... ) -
whoa gurl
I'm just Stmubling, as you do when your flight has been cancelled and you're stuck without the means to prepare for the class you're about to start "teaching" in two days (except you won't be there because of the aforementioned cancelled flight), and I cam upon a list of "Best Dressed of 2011 ( Read more... ) -
Captain America and Iron Man
I have found that I love all of the Avengers characters far too much to wait for a film to come out that may or may not live up to the rainbows and frolicking happening in my head....are there any readers of the comics on my flist?

Did I mention that I'm not kicked out of the program?
I totally make myself believe that I'm about to be kicked out of the program every couple of months and then my adviser is surprisingly wonderful (despite having actually kicked a good friend of mine out of the program just last year) and talks me down. It actually goes down with a lot more professionalism than all that sounded like....but it's ( Read more... ) -
is Delicious back?
I have to admit that I've been in a bit of a non-fannish bubble recently--"recently" meaning "up until a couple weeks ago when I discovered that I love Stargate Atlantis" of course--so I might have missed something....but is Delicious back? My bookmarks are all there suddenly, all easy-to-manage and as they once were. Dare I hope? -
a music meme!
a meme either invented by or simply enacted by hermette
1) A song that makes you sing along in the car even though you're stopped at the traffic lights and the other drivers think you're bonkers
So I usually get the lyrics wrong in all songs and my roommate wouldn't believe me that I was right about "take a bite of my heart tonight" for ages2) Your ( Read more... ) -

As much as I love my roomies....
I do love my roomies, heaps and oodles, but one of them is a Boy (in the most boy-ish sense of the word) and he just interrupted my conversation with another roommate about how much my students' papers are Not Fun to grade to tell me how to teach ( Read more... )
