The Doctor Isn't: April 2010
http://thedoctorisnt.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A young academic tells tales about his life in the American educational system and its discontents. So I decided to order a CD a friend recommended to me awhile back - the eponymous album by Year Long Disaster. I had a gift card; I made it happen. It's got a Zeppelin feel," he said, "without sounding like a Zep cover band who decided to try writing a tune or two of their own.". How could I not try it? And today, the package arrived with not one but two copies of this. Posted by Dr. Curmudgeon. The Chroni...

The Doctor Isn't: And then, a reminder
http://thedoctorisnt.blogspot.com/2010/07/and-then-reminder.html
A young academic tells tales about his life in the American educational system and its discontents. And then, a reminder. I was, more or less, a fuck-up as an undergrad, trying to manage more than I was capable of: a girlfriend I wasn't happy with, two or three jobs, money home to the family (sometimes from student loans), being young and away from home for the first time, and, oh yea, school.

The Doctor Isn't: June 2010
http://thedoctorisnt.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A young academic tells tales about his life in the American educational system and its discontents. In Order of Importance. Today, I received an e-mail from an incoming student, asking what they can do to prepare for my Fall term class. Earnest, hard-working, painful. Is it two days before the term starts? Oh, how I laughed and laughed. Roughly speaking, here is some of what's on my mind, in order of importance, and where my Fall term class ranks. 2 European jaunt next week. Posted by Dr. Curmudgeon.

A young academic tells tales about his life in the American educational system and its discontents. Remember that without unions and laborers, you'd likely have been working 80 work weeks since you were children for scrip. And don't forget that there people who still are working those long weeks as children from scrip. Posted by Dr. Curmudgeon. No response to “Sí se puede”. I'm anonymous for a reason, sucka.".

Out of my head, and into the world. Thursday, May 17, 2012. I stumbled across this doing research for something else. While I should not be writing blog posts but hauling ass on this last big paper due for this semester's coursework, I couldn't not share this. History is so far from boring that it makes my head want to explode:. The Letter. ( Link to Source, Cornell University.

Fait Attention!: August 2011
http://faitattention.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Out of my head, and into the world. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. Last weekend, I moved. I quit my job(s), packed up my shit, and am now residing South of the Mason Dixon Line gearing up for grad school.*. I'm still unpacking, but can finally see most of the floor space in my apartment. A big day tomorrow: my new bed arrives. It will be my first bed with a real headboard and footboard. Ever. I feel so adult-y. Hopefully, I can assemble that sucker and actually sleep in it tomorrow!

Fait Attention!: April 2012
http://faitattention.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Out of my head, and into the world. Thursday, April 19, 2012. Links to this post. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. I'm Doing What Now? There, I said it out loud. I've started running. Not only am I in my third week, but I'm starting to crave it and I'm noticing improvements. Why, suddenly, have I started? Meat world friends and bloggy friends run. Colleagues who are not little slips of things are running half marathons. I was inspired. I'm using the " Couch to 5K. Why am I telling now? Links to this post.
