OH AND I FORGOT!
Today I was walking along the train platform, and an old pervert was screaming at a young woman - he was on a bench, she was closer to the edge of the platform. He was saying some NASTY shit, implying she was a whore, asking why she was afraid of him, saying he was a man (clue, crazed pervert: maybe it's you!), etc. I paused, walked back and stood ( Read more... ) -

How odd!
I've just spent the morning being extremely productive on a lingering piece of scholarly work and fired it off to my co-editor for consideration. Go me!
...and now I have to deal with laundry. Dammit. I need a drying rack for my teaching clothes, first, as the dryers in my new apartment complex are extremely powerful and I do not wish to ( Read more... ) -
Mine is not a unique complaint
All my baby engineers are closet philosophers. Extremely literal (except when they write, we are working on this), problem-oriented, raging-nerd, goody-twoshoes closet philosophers. *snuggles them*

Please note: this ( Read more... ) -

Man of Steel: Pretty good!
Just went to see Man of Steel with a fellow Supes fan, and to my delight, it was quite enjoyable. Lots of world building, and it all ties back together; if there were any points left hanging, I cannot recall them. Rough transitions seem to a new trend in Hollywood, and MoS sadly has plenty. There's also an inexplicable overuse of shakey hand- ( Read more... ) -
Representative
Context: The start of June is (usually) the start of decent weather (which should be read as "not entirely snow-filled") here in Undisclosed Location. Result: many people moving last weekend and this week, Lint and Loopy included. Secondary result: due to Evil Stairs in their new place (which is otherwise incredibly gorgeous and open, and I am ( Read more... ) -
Crowdsourcing the texts
So, as one does, I've been thinking about interesting medieval courses to dangle in front of perspective employers. Sometimes, however, I make the mistake of hopping into Gchat with
