- 07:57 About to drive--overall, it's been a nice relaxing morning. Breakfast: Ham & Eggs. Listened to more of the 12 Byzantine Emperors Podcast! #
- 13:19 Good paper, good paper, groan. Good paper, good paper, groan. I'm sensing a theme today. #
- 15:05 CCHS finished day after they were due. Now to get 5-10 more papers done! #
- 15:10 Anyone else having to sign into #Evernote every dang time on the 1.6.0 Beta 4? It's driving me batty. #
- 15:19 @Veritrope Oh, good. Thanks! #
- 15:52 Time for class, and I've just finished my last 5 of the day--3 old papers and 4 revisions. Huzzah! #
- 17:53 And now... time for chili! #
- 21:17 Upped the total for today: from 15 papers to 19. #
- 09:09 After clearly, intentionally, forcefully NOT pulling my hair out, I get a good essay. Ahhhhhhh. #
- 09:43 Caught the dog chewing on the corner of a William Morris book on the bookshelf. Of course, it was a free book from the trash, but still. #
- 09:56 RT @9to5mac: New Post: Free $3 MP3 credit from Amazon.com bit.ly/8YrJsJ #
- 12:19 @theath WANT. Bring me back a bottle, and I'll compensate you for it. #
- 21:55 Graded 7/5 papers (2 were 4 revisions), taught some class, and did a good deed. Good day! #
- 08:46 In the past 20 minutes, I've graded 4 papers and finished CHS. 1 every five minutes!
Of course, they're some of my best students. That helps # - 10:11 @bobfronk I'm thinking of the Fun Run episode of the Office right now. #
- 12:10 So far, 11 papers graded and it's only noon. Awesome. #
- 14:52 Finished 20 papers today--now time for WalMart, followed by dinner with the fam. Afterwards: either Settlers or Puerto Rico. #
- 14:54 Wait wait wait wait: I opened a file, moved the file on my hard drive, & when I hit save, it saves it to the new location? I love my Mac. #
- 08:44 What do you do when a student forward-spams you? 1st: "Please do not." 2nd: "Please do not." 3rd: yelling. #
- 16:30 Oh man I hate parentheses. If it's important, use a comma or a dash. If it's not, delete. Honestly. #
- 16:31 @ianwheat !Nope. #
- 16:36 @ianwheat Yup--sorry, just saw my 21-hour-old reply. Oh well.
What's a character sheep? # - 21:47 @leamayo Well, sure--I should have said "In long-form writing that matters" #
- 21:48 RT @mikemearls: This might be too late, but I suggest allowing minor action second winds, for dwarves give them the option to use 2 surges. #
- 22:17 Tomorrow, we wake up whenever. It's the first day in 10 weeks I can say that!! #
- 12:16 Mood: Colon Dee #
- 14:14 11 Papers done. Wahoo!—four left! #
- 14:14 Also, I changed my default browser to Chrome. No, I can't believe it either—I've been using Firefox exclusively since 2003. #
- 15:06 Well, that's 15/15 for today! Time to go print off some more tests (if the copier's not still broken :P) #
- 15:38 My first real pain after moving to Chrome on the Mac: No #1password support. May be returning to Firefox faster than I thought. #
- 18:20 Leah made delicious chorizo enchiladas tonight. If you want to know how good they are, here is a sign: Leah did not want sour cream on top. #
- 18:29 Tried creating a Smart Folder in Finder for revisions, stymied by the conspicuous lack of "is not" or any such delimiters. Blah. #
- 09:24 Grading papers, then Leah emails me about a possible #Pirates4. Attention: gone. #
- 12:24 5/5 Papers already today. Today's going GOOD! #
- 12:35 Grading's all done for the day. 30 minutes until I need to leave for class—not enough to do much of anything. What do I do now? #
- 17:19 Worked out (boy, are my arms tired!) and graded the first round of quizzes, which averaged 3 points higher than the last quiz's average. #
- 17:49 Kerouac, Goethe hate hipsters, too! RT @beatonna: ol' timey hipsters pt 1 harkavagrant.com/ #
- 19:51 Of the 15 papers I should have graded today, I graded 17. And now Leah's home so we can watch Heroes! #
- 21:44 #Heroes still has me interested. When things come together in natural yet chaotic ways, I don't get bored. #
- 17:48 Flipping through a textbook, I find "haroque"—what word is this? OED has nothing. My guess: "baroque" typo. Too bad, sounds like a good word #
- 20:38 Graded the requisite 5 papers today. One of them was an accidental re-grade of an old paper, but for my workload, it totally counts. #
- 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. #
