The SJBlog: April 2006
http://thesjblog.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 27, 2006. My friend Adame has a very unusual name in Spain, much less in the United States. How to explain, then, his name scrawled in the sidewalk next to a pay phone on Durant Ave. in Berkeley? Posted by SJB at 4:29 PM. Sunday, April 23, 2006. Click on the photo above to enjoy a visual tour through my 30th birthday extravaganza. Labels: SJB on SJB. Posted by SJB at 5:22 PM. Friday, April 21, 2006. New Chief of Staff? It'd be like my own reality t.v. show! Does he have M.S? When I actual...

The SJBlog: December 2006
http://thesjblog.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 29, 2006. Seen and Heard at the MLA. There's nothing like a few days of bleary-eyed interviews, professorial types festooned with nametags on every street corner and the welcome faces of former colleagues (well, with one exception: see below). This, my blog-friends, is the MLA (Modern Language Association) convention. Here's a taste:. Please be specific.". 6 MLA tote bags - get 'em while they last! Would you like to sit on this chair or the chaise lounge? Do you speak or read Basque?

The SJBlog: November 2006
http://thesjblog.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 29, 2006. Oski and the Tree. As I sitting here on my couch trying to write academic mumbo-jumbo, I'm being serenaded by the Cal Marching Band playing a medley of Cal fight songs in preparation for Saturday's Big Game against Stanford. I mean Stanfurd. Which, despite being an admittedly apathetic to. I have managed to memorize at least the first stanza of the Cal Fight Song. And now I know about the Grrrrr-ing from this other fight song, The Big "C". Posted by SJB at 12:38 AM. Only lat...

The SJBlog: June 2006

Thursday, June 29, 2006. Garlic Fries Return (Again and Again). And yet I ask you: Who. Can resist the garlic fries? No one can resist the garlic fries. Posted by SJB at 9:53 PM. Saturday, June 24, 2006. Bears: They're Just Like Us! There's a 400 lb. overprotective mother staring me down, and she looks very capable of mauling anyone who takes an undue interest in her young." Mama bear is that black speck in the middle of the second photo. As relinquishing our spot at the top of the food chain. I've had a...

The SJBlog: January 2007
http://thesjblog.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 25, 2007. Iowa is as Iowa does. OK, that title was inspired by Nick's. Latest post. It's all about our unrequited liberal arts quest, I guess. I spent a half hour yesterday trying to convince a fellow Wesleyan alum that a liberal arts education is worth its weight in gold (which, for the record, I believe. But also, it would make my current quest for employment by one of said institutions rather hypocritical if I didn't, hmm? Anyway, I digress: I got a flyback to Grinnell College! This ...

The SJBlog: October 2006
http://thesjblog.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 27, 2006. It's hard out here for a Ph.D. Culled from the job listings for Spanish positions in academia, here are some of my favorite actual job requirements (institutions have not been identified to protect my ass). And a few snide remarks about them:. The first part of this sounds like it was drafted by Dick Cheney. But then: protected class groups? What, like, bald eagles? Institution] is committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from women...

Notes From Life: April 2008
http://thegrandmarnier.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2008. Too afraid to click. I was reading WashingtonPost.com this morning, when I saw the link circled at right. Do they really have a video of a shark killing a swimmer? They don't. (It was the AP TV news report from the beach after the incident.) But it does seem a poor choice of words. Posted by Grand Marnier. The other day I had a patient who progressed very fast, and with whom I had to start pushing before her water broke (she was pretty uncomfortable from the pressure). Previous ...

Notes From Life: May 2009

Sunday, May 24, 2009. What more could a girl ask for? SARASOTA, Fla. – For my birthday breakfast this morning I filled up on Eggs Benedict and cheese blintzes (my two favorite breakfast foods). For dinner, we pigged out on sushi (see above). My stomach is telling me that I don't need to eat for a whole year. But it was totally worth it. Posted by Grand Marnier. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Notes From Life: November 2008
http://thegrandmarnier.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 01, 2008. 12 years ago I stood in a line to cast my first vote ever for President of the United States. It was exciting and a little anti-climactic. I remember thinking both thoughts like "That's it? No one congratulating me for finally being old enough and caring enough to vote? I am finally old enough to help decide who is going to run this country! So will turnout be better this year? Will the young people vote? Posted by Grand Marnier. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
