  1. is convinced that Ain't It Cool News has become the central hangout for people who actually enjoy hating every movie that is released.
  2. is packed for DC/DO. More or less.
  3. just finished getting Megan through season (sorry, "series") 4 of Doctor Who. "...Harriet Jones, former prime minister." <takes drink>
  4. is checked in for his flight to Washington, DC. Welcome to June 2012, which is shaping up to be one of the nuttiest months of my life.
  5. is happy that his AC was fixed for $200 less than the original quote AND his engine light turned off as a result.
  6. @slavicpolymath Awesome. PM me on Facebook and let's see what we can figure out. I get in at 10am and can't check in at DO until 3pm.
  7. is curious -- whom do I know in Washington DC who would want to have lunch/coffee/whatever this coming Saturday late AM/early PM?
  8. And a few more… nblo.gs/ycTz0
  9. And a few more... wp.me/p9Bl3-Ax
  10. More shameless commerce nblo.gs/ycMhk
  11. is selling some books: wp.me/p9Bl3-Ap
  12. doesn't understand why people tell me that I try their patients. I'm not a prosecuting attorney & none of them are doctors. Makes no sense.
  13. had an awesome, productive time in Chicago for #NAPS2012. @ctschroeder, I'm bummed we never met. We'll shoot for #NAPS2013. #patristics
  14. "You have a terrific, solid foundation on which to build a skyscraper for your dissertation." #NAPS2012 #NiceThingsToHearFromPeopleYouCited
  15. @oanswers The way a Greek man explained it to me was that we believe in drinking and smoking, they're just not necessary for salvation.
  16. is at the 3rd plenary lecture at #NAPS2012 - Olaf Brandt, Understanding the shape of early Christian baptisteries. #patristics
  17. @jjoiv Well, maybe if it could be done with papyrus instead of laptops and smartphones... #NAPS2012 #patristics
  18. @JanellePeters Glad to hear it! #NAPS2012 #patristics
  19. Bravo to the student paper award winners: Maria Doerfler, Courtney Friesen, Jason Linn, Benjamin Wayman, Ryan Woods. #NAPS2012 #patristics
