I scored 85/100 on the Pew Research Center How Millennial Are You? Quiz http://pewresearch.org/millennials/quiz
They don’t call ‘em “killer” whales for nothin’, folks.
Don’t know whether to be excited or yawn at the news that John Lydon is resurrecting Public Image Ltd.
Reading Blackest Night #7 and Flash: Rebirth #6.
Excellent meeting with diss advisor.
Jack-centric episodes are always a test of my LOST-watching skills.
According to Pew’s Millennials report I am generation-less, having been born b/w the babyboom gen & the millennials. I kind of like that.
Some strange weather we’re having lately. Rain and cold alternating every other day with sun and warmth.
Looking forward to Thursday’s meeting of the Graphic Narrative Project.
I tell myself I don’t need more caffeine but it’s cold and rainy and I’m not the boss of me.
Just got out of a talk in Classics Dept. that heavily interwove the history and continuity of the DC Comics universe into the discussion.
RT @Stanford_Daily: Full story on the @mchammer appearance - http://bit.ly/cIVCky. “MC lays down the hammer”. And for the fans, a gratui …
Gloomy mornings lend themselves to getting work done. Once the sun comes out as brilliantly as it did yesterday, adios productivity.
I kind of miss arcades: putting your quarter down to call “next,” controls sticky from spilled soda, 8-bit beeps and boops.
Nostalgia jonesing: could use a game of GORF right about now.
Today’s nostalgia brought to you by aching joints and a heavy workload.
Trying to think of a context to exclaim “Shit just got real!”
Settling in at the cafe (okay, it’s Starbucks) to read student papers. Boy, my tweets sure have turned mundane. Next: what I ate.
Oh hell yeah!: new track from The New Pornographers. http://bit.ly/b8CHWV
After reading papers I need a good non PG-13 horror movie. I’m tapped out though. Seen most of the ones on my list.
Friend popped over to visit me unexpectedly in Palo Alto. Quite nice. Mediterranean food, coffee, and strolling in the rain.
Watching the first episode of the Ricky Gervais Show, starring Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant & unably assisted by Karl Pilkington.
Just upgraded to a 50GB @dropbox account.
Just had three hours of student conferences. They all went really well. Time flew.
Coffee’s for closers, you son of a bitch.
Really enjoying the new Broken Social Scene scene song! http://bit.ly/c6t9Aj
Hark! I hear a duck.
Insert obligatory morning blah/need coffee tweet here.
And…the power goes out. Superterrific.
So glad it’s a Locke-centric episode. Does Locke-centric still apply?
I’m #reading The Marketplace of Ideas by Louis Menand - http://bit.ly/ccoZ4q
I need a laptop with a slightly larger screen. Not sure 13.3 is cutting it anymore.
I’m #reading The Rising Tide Of Color Against Whit… by T. Lothrop Stoddard - http://bit.ly/cdHBbX
The prospect of playing more Plants v. Zombies is really helping me get through these papers. Hey, whatever works.
Wow, some girl at Starbucks is totally lifting her personal aesthetic from Avril Lavigne. Is 2002 retro already?
For every paper I grade I’m allowing myself a round of Plants vs. Zombies
Oh, sweet naptime.
Broke down and bought Plants vs. Zombies for the iPhone. Goodbye dreams of productivity.
One forgets, with all his overproduced songs, that Billy Ocean could actually sing. Is he eligible for knighthood? Sir William Ocean.
Had a gallon of coffee today but I’m wiped now, I feel dizzy, and my joints ache. Happy Valentine’s Day!
My massive mug of evening coffee has promptly made me feel incredibly sluggish.
You know you’ve hit some kind of wall when you’re “leisure” reading is a book of Marxist geographic theory.
Should be reading student papers but can’t help watching the NBA All-Star Game.
Lucha Vavoom @ The Fillmore http://post.ly/Nt93
Scary thought: A grizzly bear toting a chainsaw.
Hey come on students, don’t cancel your paper conference at the last moment! Grrr.
Back on Twitter after a long, superbusy weekend. Not sure I have much to show for it though.
Here’s what I’ll be doing tonight: www.luchavavoom.com
RIP Papa H. Thanks for the “longshoreman” comparison. Will remember that always.
Best comment thread ever? Ever? EVER! http://bit.ly/9SGDH3
