- @coryb I have had success with my Crumpler messenger bag. I also recommend the North Face Surge. #
- @mkgold @jasonrhody @samplereality On my way! #
- @cscannella Something like this: http://bit.ly/8wLtzq? in reply to cscannella #
- RT @kfitz: Hey, @mlaconvention: thx for awesome tweets! If you add #MLA09, more folks will see & they'll be archived http://bit.ly/5cSzNt #
- #MLA09 Tip (Serious one): You are one block from awesome and cheap food. Scads of it at the Reading Terminal Market: http://bit.ly/8Whdt0. #
- Can't decide if my Tweetdeck #MLA09 column is making me happy (cuz I'm in the loop) or lonesome. But I'll be glued to it for coming 3 days. #
- @cscannella 5 years too late, I might add. in reply to cscannella #
- @mlaconvention Can't find the details about the minimum course pay. Direct link? in reply to mlaconvention #
- Reading about much of my world converging on #MLA09. #
- @cscannella I likes Thao's first one. Folkier than I normally do. Haven't heard the new one. #
- RT @sabinehikel: Tweeps attending #MLA09, I'll be talking post-academic work at the Inside Higher Ed booth Dec. 28 pm & Dec. 29 a.m. #
- @jimgroom 3 is the end of the line for us too. You can't let nature mess with you. #
- @jimgroom @twoodwar Our third has been the easiest. I think it's nature's way of getting you to have a fourth. in reply to jimgroom #
- @kfitz @mkirschenbaum No, no, no! Funky glasses out, tonsures in! See this handy #MLA09 Tip! http://bit.ly/8w3OD4 in reply to kfitz #
- @afamiglietti exactly. Here: you may have tenure. #
- #MLA09 Tip: Kate Hayles isn't actually a robot. I know, I know. I was disappointed too. #
- #MLA09 Tip: Forget Zizek. For real street/theory cred, tell the committee how you've been inspired by the work of Zinedine Zidane. #
- @samplereality That's really cool. Now do it in a Wordle. Jump, monkey! #
- @dav2b Thanks very much! in reply to dav2b #
- Writing #MLA09 talk to be read in absentia since I can't afford going w/o intrviews. Panel: "Today's Profs & Students: Economics." #irony #
- Like @billiehara, we've got our new Christmas jammies on. getting the kids in bed, and then we can begin wrapping and watching Nightmare B4. #
- @nowviskie I think your panel and @kfitz's are the ones that I'm most upset about missing. in reply to nowviskie #
- The worst thing about canceling to #MLA09? Screwing up a cool roommate's plans. Second worst: @Delta's $150 cancellation fee. #
- @boonebgorges I'm glad you stifled that emotion and talked with us instead. in reply to boonebgorges #
- Case Western had over 500 applicants. #jobmarket #
- @triproftri Thanks for the encouragement and for the suggestions for placement. I've got more spare time this semester. Will work on it. in reply to triproftri #
- @jbj You're right. That was a slip. Would still love to do it. And it looks like @triproftri has some suggestions for us too. in reply to jbj #
- @ryancordell You got a grant! Awesome. in reply to ryancordell #
- @triproftri Good idea. @jbj and I had thought about trying to do something about building and teaching with for DHQ. in reply to triproftri #
- @mlaconvention Oops. That sounded snarkier than I meant. Thanks for the reply. in reply to mlaconvention #
- .@mlaconvention The MLA isn't hiring? Big surprise. #jobmarket #fail in reply to mlaconvention #
- @mlaconvention I don't suppose the MLA is looking to hire a social media-savvy PhD. #doesnthurttoask in reply to mlaconvention #
- @mlaconvention It looks like the hotel has gotten in order. I've also contacted the right people to pass my MLA travel grant to someone else in reply to mlaconvention #
- @samplereality I'm more or less planning on doing the same thing. We need dirt on @clioweb to make sure we get in. in reply to samplereality #
- @samplereality Philly MLA in 2006 was actually not bad re:cold. In the 50s. Maybe you'll get lucky? in reply to samplereality #
- @samplereality I hope so as well. THATCamp? Remember to pour a little out for me at the #MLA09 tweetups. in reply to samplereality #
- So. It's been decided. I'm not going to #MLA09. While I'm sad about lack of employment, I'm maybe more disappointed not to see colleagues. #
- My newest at @ProfHacker seeks to combine #jobmarket and #MLA09 tips: "Tips for Hacking Your Academic Interview," http://bit.ly/6Z5LHt. #
- Rt @RichardMenke: #MLA09 Tip: If the audience outnumbers your panel, your session is "well-attended." (Moderator counts as half a panelist.) #
- @midwinter_ Sorry. IE is an automatic fail. Do not pass go. Do not collect job. in reply to midwinter_ #
- #MLA09 Tip: Everyone knows that academics are critical thinkers. Not bound by convention. That's why you should *only* use Apple products. #
- Rt @samplereality: Please retweet:: A complete list of digital humanities sessions at #MLA09: http://bit.ly/2fBCRT #
- Signing up for new phone service. No one can know my regret and contrition at not getting a super smart phone. #
- #MLA09 Tip: If you see other interview candidates, HUG IT OUT, BITCH! #
- @jbj Did you say something? in reply to jbj #
- #MLA09 Tip: if you're talking to someone more senior/more famous than you, don't look them in the eye. Aim for the lapel. Try to blush. #
- #MLA09 Tip: There won't be wifi connectivity in the panels. Unless you bring that 30-foot antenna with you. #
- @jcmeloni @GeorgeOnline I think he's just talking about #MLA09 Cyber-Tips. in reply to jcmeloni #
- @mlaconvention Ah. Makes sense. And he's on the road, I believe, so it could be a while. in reply to mlaconvention #
- @mlaconvention I don't see your reply on @samplereality's post. Did you use the wrong link? in reply to mlaconvention #
- #MLA09 Tip: If the panelist keeps not quite answering your question in Q&A, keep pressing. They must be made to submit. #
- .@billwolff 20th-century American Lit. And apparently @mlaconvention reports that Am lit jobs only accounted for 6% of listings. in reply to billwolff #
- @kfitz @jcmeloni @amandafrench @amndw2 @GeorgeOnline @billwolff @captain_primate @wpwend42 @seabright Thanks for well wishes. in reply to kfitz #
- Good news is that I successfully sold the printer I got for free with my MacBook Pro. #craigslistftw #
- An official rejection from U of Maine, Farmington. Over 450 applicants. #jobmarket #fail #
- .@barbarahui Sorry to hear it. I'm pretty sure I won't be at #MLA09 for the same reason. #jobmarket #fail #
- @academicdave I prefer to think of all those #MLA09 attendees as the *real* winners. in reply to academicdave #
- #MLA09 Tip: Registration, $125. Hotel, $300. Dinner and drinks, $65. Finding Stanley Fish's room and stealing his dry cleaning, priceless. #
- #MLA09 Tip: In the past, attendees resorted to funky spectacles to help them appear hip. Be cutting edge: 2010 is the year of the tonsure. #
- #MLA09 Tip: Also, Comp Lit applicants are expected to wear black. Surprise committee & go full-bore sartorial albino. They won't forget you! #
- @samplereality I couldn't find the #mla09 Twapper Keeper URL, although it said it was created. And good point. #MLA09 it is. in reply to samplereality #
- I think we need to make it #MLA09Tip so we can Twapper Keeper these things. #
- #MLA09 Tip: Drink big glass of water right before interview. You write better w/deadline pressure.Your mind works better w/bladder pressure. #
- #MLA09 Tip: Jargon. No one understood Derrida, and he had a job. Impenetrability is your best defense. #
- #MLA09 Tip: Figure out which of your interviewers is the Paula Abdul of the bunch, and get her drunk alone. #
- #MLA09 tip: Practice your dissertation spiel in the elevator. Don't let people getting on unnerve you. Unnerve *them* with your brilliance. #
- @derekbruff There is communal space at #MLA09 for interviews. I call it "the pit." But it's worse than hotel room interview. Cattle call. in reply to derekbruff #
- @fearv Really? One of my favorite sounds ever, when it's in a large space, like a library reading room. #quirk in reply to fearv #
- @mlaconvention I can never decide if the trauma studies woman (my field) or the Irish Rave specialist is my favorite. in reply to mlaconvention #
- @mlaconvention Nothing more than what is listed on the "Credits" page. Circulated in my department circa 2007. in reply to mlaconvention #
- #MLA09 tip: Watch http://9interviews.com. Watch and learn. #
- @amandafrench @samplereality Perfect timing too, since I'm writing a @ProfHacker piece about interviews. in reply to amandafrench #
- @escapegrace Sounds like Hemingway character situation. in reply to escapegrace #
- Apparently not all of my Clemson email gets forwarded to my Clemson Gmail. #exchangefail #
- My newest post at @ProfHacker on "How to Hack A Conference (AKA Attend One Productively)" is now up: http://bit.ly/7N7dch. #
- @barbarahui I think you just helped me with a last minute gift. in reply to barbarahui #
- @johnmjones And you didn't tell me you'd be here because…? in reply to johnmjones #
- RT @jbj: I am *very* disappointed that the e-mail inviting me become a "necromancer" was just Viagra spam ("raise your dead friend"). #
- Fight @MLAconvention's disregard for URLs. Install @zotero's "Modern Language Association with URL" style: http://bit.ly/7BJOT2 #
- Glad to see #MLA09 will have free wifi in common areas. Still won't get you tweeting in a session, but it's progress. (via @mlaconvention) #
- Time to finish up my @ProfHacker post that's going live at 2pm EST. Go, dog, go! #
