Notes From the Ivory Tower: June 2009
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...

Notes From the Ivory Tower: August 2008

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...

This Degree Goes To 11: April 2011
http://thisdegree.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
This Degree Goes To 11. Analyze these tropes, bitch. Saturday, April 30, 2011. I'm a wealthy miser! Taking both my cats to the vet for checkups (neither has had one since before I got them and as I would probably cry so much I'd look like the guy from Indy 3 who drinks from the wrong cup if anything happened to them that I could have prevented by providing regular and responsible vet care, this seems like a Thing Worth Doing) (also I'm pretty sure Penny's had a cold since November at this point). Filling...

This Degree Goes To 11: October 2011
http://thisdegree.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
This Degree Goes To 11. Analyze these tropes, bitch. Sunday, October 23, 2011. Things I've written in my prelims essays:. On how abstraction facilitates comparisons between systems of discourse: "It allows the comparing of apples to apples, without the confusion of having to account for whether they came from pie or sauce.". On Anne Wysocki's reference to a major literacy studies scholar:. T he shout-out to that legacy is particularly loud in her essay. Q: How did the hipster burn his tongue? Things Ive ...

This Degree Goes To 11: Life After Prelims
http://thisdegree.blogspot.com/2011/11/life-after-prelims.html
This Degree Goes To 11. Analyze these tropes, bitch. Saturday, November 12, 2011. Had friends over to hang out and drink wine. Put in contact lenses to teach. (My students were adorably/annoyingly confused by this change - "can you just like, not see, or are you wearing contacts? Happy hour and last-minute dinner with fellow comp/rhet-ers. Spoken to my immediate family on the phone 5 times. Spent the night somewhere other than my own apartment. Had a major singalong while doing aforementioned cleaning.

This Degree Goes To 11: Where High Theory and Fan Fiction Meet
http://thisdegree.blogspot.com/2011/11/where-high-theory-and-fan-fiction-meet.html
This Degree Goes To 11. Analyze these tropes, bitch. Sunday, November 13, 2011. Where High Theory and Fan Fiction Meet. Five months of intense rhetorical study, and yet it took an afternoon of reading fan fiction to trigger the realization that I am and always have been firmly on the rhetoric-as-dialectical side of things. Goes to show, I guess, how very important a role extra-academic experience and thought plays in developing systems of belief about the world. Labels: devil in details. Not on My Syllabi.
