- Emory has Schwarzenegger speaking at graduation. That's so much better than Vincente Fox. #
- Despite what I said in my #mla09 paper, I assign lotsof things that aren't papers. Which means I'm *always* #grading. #
- @amandalicastro I'm lucky enough to have insurance in my current gig. But I've been told I'm the only lecturer/VAP out of 30 that has it. in reply to amandalicastro #
- @GeorgeOnline And I'd rather have a bound thing than a shelf of loose printed PDFs. But I'm a bibliophile. Can you survey your students? in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline But what's the total cost of PDFs? And what's the cost of used Nortons? in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline You mean it's going to write grant proposals for me?! in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline I wouldn't want to read things off a screen. I'd rather pay the $20 for a Norton. Or the $5 for a Dover. in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- One problem of adjuncting is that I don't have time to apply to the things that helps one move out of adjuncting. #downwardspiral #jobmarket #

- @HannahRabon That was a quick turn-around. in reply to HannahRabon #

- @popcap_games To Crazy Dave: What can I get you for Christmas? in reply to popcap_games #
- It's the not-teaching day, so that means #grading, email, and general catching up on 3 different projects. Sigh #
- @buzzdad No. It's not. in reply to buzzdad #
- @cscannella Also good. Am fan of Ambling Alp too. I think Mondegreen is a full-on Boingo song. in reply to cscannella #
- @jbj Bitch. in reply to jbj #
- @jbj It's just the first track of the debut. The circus stuff? Intentionally awful. The rest of the album is solid gold. in reply to jbj #

- Tell me what's worse: when visiting my parents this weekend I discovered their browser homepage is Fox News. And their browser default is IE #
- As I was #grading today I found myself reflecting on this @ProfHacker post by @nmhouston: http://bit.ly/d3Qtko. Really helped me. #
- @mirk79 I'm also trying very hard to cut down paper feedback. I now use a timer any time that I'm #grading. in reply to mirk79 #
- @mirk79 Overprepping is 5 hours prep for a 75-minute class. I tend to want to know *exactly* what I want to accomplish. Even for discussion. in reply to mirk79 #
- @mattthomas Amen. in reply to mattthomas #
- @erinsells TTIUWOP in reply to erinsells #
- So I still over do it on #classprep. But I'm also reaping major rewards for last year's overprepping. #

- @eetempleton Yes, in those instances they are. But I'm not dealing with comp class now. Sorry for the confusion. in reply to eetempleton #
- In comp classes, I should mention, I tell students to write an argument that we HAVE discussed in class. Don't worry @ content, just form. #
- Question: what do you do when students' proposed paper topics are more or less what you already discussed in class? #
- @billiehara @jbj @georgeonline Do you know how @drnels is feeling these days? in reply to drnels #
- I was observed teaching yesterday.Observer said nothing when leaving (fine since I was talking w/students), but I still have no email. #lame #
- @HannahRabon Consider them crossed. in reply to HannahRabon #

- I never have time for email on teaching days, which means that the non-teaching days are full of it. #
- Is it just me or is the @chronicle ghoulishly milking the U of Alabama shootings? #

- @mkgold That is an AMAZING syllabus. Bookmarked, delicious'd, favorited, and everything else for stealing later. in reply to mkgold #
- "In some cases, dissecting a poem can be as complicated as dissecting a cat." #grading #
- @amandafrench I tried that a few weeks ago, and it didn't go as well as this. Admittedly, it was the end of Lot 49, so it was a hard class. in reply to amandafrench #
- @filmsnob That's an essay I *have* to get the citation for. in reply to filmsnob #
- @joshbrez No. I believe they rejected me (along w/250 others). And the Chair decided to let me know s/he is aware of me & paper. Courtesy. in reply to joshbrez #
- @ryancordell I think they did. And to be honest, it worked. Nice to know that someone REAL (not mail merge) composed part of it. in reply to ryancordell #
- @katrinagulliver It's something to consider. May be inadvisable. But at this point in my #jobmarket search I can't not do it. in reply to katrinagulliver #
- @katrinagulliver Said that they read it with interest and sympathy. Didn't sound like it counted against me. in reply to katrinagulliver #

- @erinsells That IS good. Congratls. in reply to erinsells #
- Tried the @ProfHacker- (http://bit.ly/aECnIN) & @eetempleton-approved Zen Ten approach (http://bit.ly/9TjevJ) today. Very pleased w/results. #
- @jbj Consider this the evidence of the efficaciousness of voodoo. in reply to jbj #
- Does anyone have recommendation for screen cleaning of laptops? Wipes? Moose saliva? #
- Getting really obsessed with Victory Garden again. #classprep #
- Just got home. No sign of snow anywhere. I'm pretty sure this was all a fabrication of the media. #
