http://ivorynotes.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Notes From the Ivory Tower. Defending Academia From All The Unwashed Masses; Or, A Gentleman and a Drunkard. Tuesday, June 02, 2009. I've Tried Everything Short of Aristotle. Ok, so a post is forthcoming about my recent birthday extravaganza. But first and foremost, an advisory and a lament. If you've never watched "Chuck," then I feel really sorry for you. But the good news is, you can totally watch all episodes from season one for free on http:/ www.thewb.com/shows/chuck. Other than drinking, of course...

Notes From the Ivory Tower. Defending Academia From All The Unwashed Masses; Or, A Gentleman and a Drunkard. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. You Might Have Heard I Run With a Dangerous Crowd. We Ain't Too Pretty, We Ain't Too Proud. This weekend I went to New York for Dubsgiving 3: The Baker Gets Married. Twas a brief trip, full of fun, excitement, more than a little inebriation, and the titular wedding of my high school friend, the Baker. A brief chronicle ensues. The Last Five Years. Afterwards, met up with Q...

Alexander, our older brother, set out for a great adventure
http://jedibix783.livejournal.com/tag/academics
Alexander, our older brother, set out for a great adventure. Entries by tag: academics. May 19th, 2009. Except Intro to World Archaeology is a course about the last 50,000 years of human history. In 16 lectures, these kids go from Coping with the Pleistocene-Holocene transition to the 15th century AD. And then I have to condense this into 8 hour-long tutorials and accompanying essays and reading lists. Human colonization of the world/environmental and cultural factors that shaped it (lectures 1 and 2).

Alexander, our older brother, set out for a great adventure. Liveblogging Lost while Jetlagged. April 6th, 2010. I left Oxford at 4:30 BST this morning. it is now 20:04 MST. so technically 5:30 BST THE NEXT DAY. In essence, I have been travelling through time (forwards). And I didn't exactly sleep well last night - I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. So I haven't really slept since 8:30 BST on the 5th of April. Um, oh yes, SPOILERS! 20:06 whoa Jamie Oliver has a show on ABC? 20:08 Really hating on Zoey though.

Notes From the Ivory Tower. Defending Academia From All The Unwashed Masses; Or, A Gentleman and a Drunkard. Wednesday, August 06, 2008. I promise, I'm currently writing a post about my trip to Tennessee. But for the nonce, I'm soliciting advice. Another wedding to go to this weekend. Do I wear:. A The more traditional gray two piece (slight herringbone pattern). B The charcoal pinstripe three piece that makes me look vaguely like either a mobster or a fat cat from the 20s? Poor quality pictures below.

Notes From the Ivory Tower: More Sunday Night Musings
http://ivorynotes.blogspot.com/2010/04/more-sunday-night-musings.html
Notes From the Ivory Tower. Defending Academia From All The Unwashed Masses; Or, A Gentleman and a Drunkard. Sunday, April 25, 2010. More Sunday Night Musings. Another Sunday night, another Writing Center shift. Got my last hour open, so may as well waste a little time here. Given that my dissertation chapter is currently in the hands of my advisor, and I just can't muster up the will to go back and revise anything else yet, I've kind of been coasting since then. I work in the WC four days a week now...

Billie J. Pilgrim: October 2008
http://elizacole.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Billie J. Pilgrim. Coming unstuck in graduate school. I finally used the Land's End gift card I got for Christmas last year. In other news, Land's End kinds sucks. But you know what doesn't suck? My fleece-lined, polka-dotted WELLIES! I got a lot of sweet presents for my birthday, many of which were in jewelry form, which if you know me, you know is not a problem. To say the least. 3 more to go! And an album full of my baby pictures:. Much amusement for K. Here's me getting excited to open presents:.

Short Notes on Excess. Brothers from Another Mother. Calmer Than You Are. Goddess of the Dawn. Notes from the Ivory Tower. This Degree Goes to 11. View my complete profile. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. My writing soundtrack lately has been a bunch of stuff by Astor Piazzolla, arguably the greatest tango composer of the past century. He writes complex, textured, jazzy stuff. It's brilliant. A couple of selections:. Libertango - Yo-Yo Ma and, uh, Some Other People. Chin Chin - Astor Piazzolla. I basically l...

Notes From the Ivory Tower. Defending Academia From All The Unwashed Masses; Or, A Gentleman and a Drunkard. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. So May It Be Said Of Us, And All Of Us. Just finished Evelyn Waugh's. Trilogy. Loads of fun, though I liked. More But the version I have features an intro by Frank Kermode, with perhaps one of the best statements ever:. Meanwhile he [Waugh] grew more and more pugnacious and unreasonable in his dislikes and in his desire for vengeance on his enemies.". I offer this gem.
