From the Forecastle to the Masthead: July 2008
http://forecastle-to-masthead.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
From the Forecastle to the Masthead. The highs and lows of life near the end of a dissertation. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Sort of. I've just finished a full draft of my dissertation (so now I'm on a high). Go me. Anyway, regardless, I can work with what I've got. If it's not ALL brilliant, a lot of it is. As Fatty would say, I'm awesome. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. I do feel bad for Dan Uggla though. He's had some tough extra innings, that one. Friday, July 11, 2008. Also, you can buy the ablum for whatever ...

From the Forecastle to the Masthead. The highs and lows of life near the end of a dissertation. Monday, May 26, 2008. Another Gem from Fox News. Correcting herself, she went on to say that it would be good if someone killed Barack Obama. This is an exact transcript of what she said:. I'm serious about the smarmy grin and chuckle. Check it out- the comment about Obama is from 1:21 to 1:33. Or is that what we want people on TV to do- shock us? Friday, May 23, 2008. I want to ride my.bicycle. Boy was I wron...

Pine Belt Blues: Synchronicity, not Jungian
http://pinebeltblues.blogspot.com/2009/07/synchronicity-not-jungian.html
Not sure if I actually live in the Pine Belt anymore, but oh well. Friday, July 24, 2009. Synchronicity, not Jungian. Lucero has a new album coming out on October 6th. I love Lucero. They've got a new song up on their website called "The Devil and Maggie Chascarillo." I listened to it and thought three things: 1) wow, I can actually understand the words, even though I have no idea what Ben Nichols is talking about, 2) this is an awesome song, and 3) is that a horn section? Blueprint for a Southern Home.

From the Forecastle to the Masthead. The highs and lows of life near the end of a dissertation. Monday, April 28, 2008. Take this for example. This is a pig's shoulder after one hour on the grill. This is the same pig's shoulder after six hours on the grill. Thursday, April 24, 2008. Chicago vs. MLA. I need a drink. Wednesday, April 23, 2008. And God was happy about it. I know this because one day my wife and I. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Jamestown was awesome, especially because the old guy who was workin...

From the Forecastle to the Masthead. The highs and lows of life near the end of a dissertation. Monday, November 17, 2008. Well, I cooked the turkey on the grill and have some news to report. Ahh, America, and your infatuation with unnaturally big breasts. The turkey, you heathens. Go read some Kingsolver. Geez. Monday, November 10, 2008. Done, pt. 1. The first thing I'm going to do is make some good veal stock and demiglase (if I can find veal bones in Oxford. I'm not optimistic. Rhea's Market m...

Pine Belt Blues: Letters
http://pinebeltblues.blogspot.com/2009/07/letters_08.html
Not sure if I actually live in the Pine Belt anymore, but oh well. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. It's not enough that I have to be friended by people I went to (lower, middle) high school with, or random people I didn't like that much in undergrad, or friends of friends of friends from grad school, no. When I get friended on facebook by kids I used to baby-sit, I am officially OLD. At, you know, 26. Why do you do this to me? July 9, 2009 at 9:43 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

From the Forecastle to the Masthead. The highs and lows of life near the end of a dissertation. Monday, October 27, 2008. Well, well, well. It's Monday night, and that means I'm sitting here watching football, playing poker, and posting to my blog. But I'm tired, so I'm not going to say much. I type for a living, I don't want to type now. Maybe I'll do more tomorrow to make up. Nice, Dan. That'll keep 'em reading. You just want to concentrate on cent poker. October 27, 2008 at 9:56 PM.

Pine Belt Blues: June 2009
http://pinebeltblues.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Not sure if I actually live in the Pine Belt anymore, but oh well. Monday, June 22, 2009. A rare movie review. And by us I mean a straight white man? Much more interesting that way. I think my biggest problem with the movie is that it was kind of boring. Whereas a story about Chess Records in the 1950s should be exciting. Really exciting. I mean, it was the postwar boom in the 1950s! Friday, June 19, 2009. Right now, I love you more than anything else in the world. Especially cold. Thanks so much, Ellie.

From the Forecastle to the Masthead. The highs and lows of life near the end of a dissertation. Monday, June 30, 2008. Melville's Ishmael is one of my top three favorite literary characters. (The other two, by the way, are Hemingway's Jake Barnes from. The Sun Also Rises. And Milton's Satan from. I was hooked on this book by the first chapter. Sure, everyone knows the "Call me Ishmael" opening, but what else? Do you know why Ishmael set foot on that doomed ship, the. It was because Ishmael, like so many ...

The Well-Read Giraffe: July 2010

I'm tall. And I like to read. A lot. There you go. Saturday, July 17, 2010. What's Wrong with People? So I've decided that I'm going to start a new series of posts entitled, "What's Wrong with People? For those moments when you really do wonder what people are thinking. Think of this as a more elaborate version of the FAIL blog. Factor. So, with a disclaimer about the fact that I may not have the authority to put myself in this position of judgment, let's forge ahead, shall we? When did it become good ma...
