Life, the Universe, and Everything

One of the gifts I got for Christmas is a “Utility Towel” with 42 on it. If you don’t understand, go read. It’s not a bath towel, but approximately the size of a golf towel, about eighteen inches by thirty six. I want to keep it somewhere cool, but also somewhere useful. I could bring [...]

Parsing the waiting list

So I teach a class that’s VERY popular and has pretty limited seats –18 according to the schedule.  I usually allow three or four students to add the class, but since it’s a seminar-style course, more than that would make the conversation and experience pretty different and difficult.  Not to mention the extra grading for [...]

For shame

So Brian lobbed a meme this way (by means of film blogger Dennis Cozzalio, Joseph B., and Adam at DVD Panache). Most challenging, for me, is the articulate, intelligent voice Brian brings to his blogging. His esoteric and awesome choices befit someone of his intelligence and cinephilic taste; mine will seem more pedestrian, I’m afraid. [...]

Someone on my Leap Day facebook group suggested some music to listen to on Leap Day. I have these songs to suggest: Jump gets used a lot more than leap, for some reason.
