- 16:45 Quota for the day was 5 papers; I got 10 revisions done. A revision is 1/2 a normal paper, right? #
- 22:35 Since I got done with all my stuff, and so did Leah (and since grandparents were in town), we played Mexican Train on double-12 dominos—Fun! #
- 22:40 Our dehumidifier has settings for "loud" and "quiet." We assume those correspond to something other than just noise. ERRRRRRNNNNNkachunkssss #
- 20:35 FINALLY 15/15 papers--which means finishing Parsons MW, TR, and starting PCHS. Whew! #
- 11:36 Celebrated #ArmisticeDay in class today—10:58, read Yeats's "Second Coming" (better than "Flanders Field"), then 11am minute of silence. #
- 17:23 Okay, now got today's five essays graded. Here they go, CHS! Everybody without a C-name, I'll finish yours tomorrow. #
- 17:29 @chadlandman Hey, thanks for serving in Iraq. #brohug #
- 07:23 Sitting on the front porch with Leah--me with my coffee, her with her decaf Earl Grey. Happy life! #
- 14:29 So far, 11 papers graded and it's not yet 3! I may finish with an hour to spare! #
- 15:18 Okay, just looked up official 7th ed. MLA for Bible refs. Version info last is DUMB. #
- 15:20 Scratch that, almost—Citations for ESB or NJB seem normal, but anything ending with "Version" is completely different. DUMB MLA #
- 15:23 Ex.1:
_Holman Standard Bible_. City: Publisher, Date. Print.
Ex.2:
_The Holy Bible_. City: Publisher, Date. Print. English Stand. Vers. # - 15:54 14 papers so far--all CCHS. Time for class, and only one paper left for the day! #
- 18:24 @thebradmontague As someone who teaches occasionally giggling-for-no-reason highschoolers, that's my ever-present paranoia. #
- 20:33 After working all day, it's time for #Heroes. I dare this episode to top last week's Chrono Trigger reference. #
- 18:07 Finally--done with grades for the day. 5/5, CCHS dented. #
- 14:35 @emuhleem Hey—you'd never been born before, and she'd already had two daughters. She was probably just going through the motions. #
- 21:45 Sigh--time for bed. Graded 4/5 papers today, but at least I finished CCHS P9. Now: P10, coming in fast. #
- 09:53 Got the Lava Needle in Mother 3. Okay, time for work. First, finishing up Parsons TR grades, then CCHS. #
- 11:08 @Ihnatko Hey, good tip! #
- 15:36 @petersagal Jealous! (Also, does he have a big head, or do you have a small head?) #
- 17:52 Quote websites: Drive me crazy. Seriously, why are there more than 2-3 of them? Also, why do students STOP THERE? I hate our quotey culture. #
- 18:05 @DevoidofContent Blah. Wikiquote and Bartlett's is all any person should ever need. THEN--track them down to their original source. #
- 18:10 Whew. Done for the day! 15/15. CCHS *nearly* done. Now--movie time! #
- 18:10 @stirstir I have neither. Hmm... #
- 10:17 My wife @leahshull and I are having a baby. ETA: May 24. That is all. #
- 12:59 Over lunch, watching Twilight Zone. Random ep: "Changing of the Guard." As a teacher, getting choked up, even as I see manipulation—ah, well #
- 18:09 DONE with essays for today--just a bit late. 15/15--PCHS done and Parsons TR heavily dented. #
- 18:17 RT @tcampbell1000: Today is official "Remember, Remember That You Forgot The Fifth of November" Day. #
- 18:18 @eea49 Curses and drat. I love Skittles, but on two occasions they've destroyed my crowns. #
- 18:20 @ianwheat Maybe eventually Calendar will open! #
- 18:22 @krisstraub Why HAL sang "Daisy": I thought it was so it could make me start crying at the line "I'm half-crazy, all for the love of you" #
- 18:42 I'm bored. I know--Distributed Proofreaders. I can waste time AND get something done, even if it is just transcribing PD children's books. #
- 20:19 twitpic.com/ok3w3 - NEW DISHWASHER! Okay, news isn't as big as "We're having a baby," but still—more frustration behind this. Huzza #
- 18:07 #MacHeist seems to be... down. Oh well. I did get to see the countdown to 0, though, which was exciting. Less exciting: nothing else happing #
- 18:07 Also: today graded 15/15 essays! CHS done, PCHS half done! #
- 20:41 Got my free #macheist apps. Feeling a big "just not FOR you" vibe. But hey—a free Horde of Orcs is nice! www.macheist.com #
- 12:00 Okay, everyone on my follow list: you're in a list now. Now, if only @tweetie for Mac will support lists! #
- 12:50 @geektool Am I just lost, or is there a way to have a shaded background with rounded edges in 3.x? I remember different frame options in 2.x #
- 21:27 About.... time for bed. Graded 5/5 essays today. Now that revisions are coming in, I may have to up my quotient, or make 2 revs = 1 regular. #
- 15:28 Imminent impact @MacHeist (151.7,174.4) Witness it and get DaisyDisk ($20) for FREE to reclaim GBs of space on your Mac! macheist.com #
- 17:08 Today:
22 papers graded (Parsons.TR and PCHS)
Electricity fixed for dishwasher install
Dishes washed. Or nearly. Away… to the sink! #
- 07:35 Wait wait wait wait wait... is #MacHeist starting already? Is that two in one year?! Regardless, I'm all eyes—www.macheist.com/ #
- 07:37 Goals for today:
1. Have a working dishwasher.
2. Finish CCHS P8
3. Finish Parsons TR P8 # - 13:36 Ah, Faygo Root Beer—actually, quite decent and rooty! #
- 14:26 Okay, CCHS P8s done. Huzzah! #
- 17:04 Looks like the dishwasher isn't happening today. Why someone 30 years ago put the outlet right next to the drainage I'll never know. #
- 17:48 Man, my Mac looks better. I should've cleaned the screen off weeks ago. #
- 19:24 Leah and I exercised. Now we are tired. Now we eat fettucine alfredo and watch Bolt. That'll balance out. #
- 14:13 @eea49 Librivox.org #
- 14:23 Twitter lists for all comers. Now will @Tweetie support them soon? #crossesfingers #
- 21:14 Essays graded today: 24. Tomorrow: high hopes! #
- 10:05 Just got off the phone with the Lowe's installers. I love talking to polite people! #
- 12:22 @ianwheat Dishwasher; should only use $33/year--yay! #
- 12:37 @ianwheat Can't remember--it was just in big yellow Energy Star numbers--maybe both, but easily in electricity #
- 10:15 Finished my #NACEP presentation. Went great! #
- 13:59 Man, I love Evernote, but why on earth does the Mac client have so much real estate above the note / below the toolbar? #
- 14:06 @WKU_DualCredit Hope you had a good time at NACEP! #
- 14:10 Inbox Zero once more. Huzzah! Now, to deal with those pesky 60 papers I've gotten since Sunday. Semester total: 568 so far! #
- 06:20 Benefit of getting up at 5:30—Next to Orion, I saw Mars and a shooting star! #
- 10:31 The internet here is s l o w. Does this mean "get back to working on your presentation"? Only if I don't need the internet to work on it :( #
- 13:04 @chadlandman Wait, it's out? IT'S OUT?!
*Saving up $5* # - 13:21 Welp, I think I'm done with my #NACEP presentation! #
- 13:35 Saving my Keynote presentation as Powerpoint, just in case. Man, I hate Powerpoint on Mac. #
- 17:03 Finally got to the point where I can differentiate MW and TR 111 students' names at the drop of a hat. #
- 11:48 Trying to remove an old dishwasher. The installation fee was $80, a price I would now gladly pay. Cheaper than my inevitable hernia. #
- 12:23 Old dishwasher was wedged against something. It's gone now--thanks, Lowe's! #
- 12:51 Time to stop dawdling and install the new dishwasher. #
- 13:43 Dishwasher installation: I should have paid the $80. I don't have time for this. I now must drive to Lowe's and buy some connectors. #
- 14:46 @stirstir Wow, now that is a great decision with a new dishwasher sitting in my house. Kudos. #
- 14:47 I am officially in a bad mood. Everyone: sorry. #
- 14:48 Nothing I bought (30 minutes away) for the dishwasher fits, even though I measured. I can't do anything. I also need to do UNRELATED WORK #
- 15:42 Okay, new dishwasher plan: return to store tonight, re-buy it with the installation plan. OUT OF MY HANDS. Hello, oil change! #
- 15:50 Note of triumph: I have uttered no blue word, nor destroyed anything, large or small. #
- 21:17 Apparently, today was not the day for either dishwashers or presentations or getting trucks out of mud. #
- 08:25 Happy Boethius day, everyone! #fb #
- 10:44 Oh-- and happy birthday @wilsonjohn. Didn't realize you were born the day Boethius died. An auspicious day! #
- 17:10 There are 2 other tweets about Boethius today—that's just sad. Everyone, 1485 years ago today, the author of De Consolatio Philosophiæ died! #
- 17:12 "In every adversity of fortune, to *have been* happy is the most unhappy kind of misfortune." - Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy #
- 17:15 "nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it" - Boethius #
- 17:17 "The wicked are happier when they are punished than when they evade justice" - Boethius #
- 17:17 "The one who does evil is more miserable than the one to whom evil is done" - Boethius #
- 17:18 "A wise man ought not to regret his struggles with fortune any more than a brave soldier should be intimidated by the noise of battle" -Boet #
- 12:13 I feel bad for saying this, but Barnes & Noble's Nook actually has me excited. In a generation, these will be useful! #
- 12:51 Got some papers graded, got some presentation work done. Now: class! #
- 17:28 Just had a nap that has me saying, "Did anybody get the number of that bus?" #fb #
- 19:59 Found out thirdhand that one of my students recommended my Dual-credit classes to her 11th-grade friend. No idea who, but it feels good. #
- 11:28 I've been putting it off for too long… Time to download today's student papers. #
