All right, even I am having difficulty at times keeping up with all the news, so if I repeat something here, it just means you’re paying attention, well done, here’s a cookie! Soon I have to leave the glories of Alba for the um, gories? of Albany. Alas. Which means I have to figure out…

Profiled at Eden Baylee’s Blog & News
I am profiled over at Eden Baylee’s blog today. Drop by and say hello to find out what lurks inside my mind lately. I suppose it’s the usual sort of thing, but Eden has some interesting questions that I have not had in an interview before, so maybe you will learn a few new things…
Note to self
STOP MITHERING!
In Case You’re Wondering
This is what a tenure package looks like; this is actually Kim’s (who had loaned me hers as a model) because I only remembered that I was going to take a picture of it after I had turned it in. More or less like mine, though the tabbing is far neater. It contains the letter…
Back in Black
I lie — I’m wearing grey at present, but how could I miss the opportunity to put a bad AC/DC tune in your head (okay, it’s not that bad). Seems like LoudTwitter gave up the ghost the last couple days, so you missed fabulous tidbits like: Kate Laity fell up steps Thameside, but did not…
Wrapping Things Up
Well, that’s the theory anyway. I tried to get important things done today — when not running off to see Robert’s new cottage and have lunch at Mexican Radio. I had papers and posts to grade, email to which to respond, reviews and short essays to write, blog posts to keep up with (eep —…
Kazoo Round-up
Just back from my meeting with the VP and the Dean, where I formally accepted the position of Coordinator of Women’s Studies. What was that I said about only suckers taking up administrative positions? 😉 Let’s consider it the first step in my plan for World Domination or perhaps as a new hat (we all…
Curse of the Demon
Day two of the horror class consisted of a full-on run through the 40s and 50s. While I talked about a lot of things, I concentrated on showing two films — not something I plan to do everyday, but as I was giving short shrift to the time period anyway, it only seemed fair. For…
BitchBuzz: Hi-Tech TNG
My latest piece for BitchBuzz deals with my on-going concerns about the ways we’re not incorporating New Media into the classroom and our students’ professional development. Sure they can all Google and text each other, but they’re not always aware of how they present themselves rhetorically in digital space, nor how to prepare themselves for…
BitchBuzz: 21st C Women’s Studies
Check out my latest piece for BitchBuzz where I try to focus on the duties I’ll be taking on as coordinator of the Women’s and Gender Studies program at my college. It’s going to be a challenge to revitalise the program as we had an off-year last year for a variety of reasons. My thought…
