  1. @broylesa Such a pain. I really only use them to pay rent at this point. I wish I could pay rent with plastic or online or something.
  2. "Puffery" is an awfully good word.
  3. @annehelen I think there are some ways it can be tied to Dickens -- focus on the poor, literature as commentary on socialn inequity, etc.
  4. @nicksnow I saw a great IFC rant by John Waters about being on airplanes -- apparently he once flew next to someone reading hardcore porn.
  5. Even with a severe bun and a black turtleneck sweater, Anne Hathaway is wildly implausible as a psychologist.
  6. Any Austinites interested in mid-to-late evening cocktails (10ish) DM or text me.
  7. @katebornstein Maybe they meant "many Lexus-related memories."
  8. @Ludology No, I'm teaching the same class in the spring as this semester. Next year, though, hopefully I'll teach one or the other.
  9. Mom on Gloria Gaynor & Cyndi Lauper in Macy's Parade: "We may not have the best healthcare, but we clearly have the best beauty industry."
  10. @laurieelisabet And by "this week" I mean "this coming workweek," as obviously this workweek is done.
  11. @laurieelisabet Maybe we can get together post-worktime this week?
  12. Course outlines completed: one seminar on police procedurals, and one survey on U.S. media history.
  13. I like to imagine that Andy Warhol would approve. (via @hugel)http://www.sltrib.com/news/...
  14. @laurieelisabet Hooray! Perhaps we can get together next week? It's my last week of class, and then the grading ...
  15. @mattthomas I haven't read the book. It will go on the giant "to-read" pile that's taking over my office.
  16. @oh_steph That doesn't make it torture porn, though, that makes it borderline melodrama. What movie isn't manipulative?
  17. Just saw Precious. It's great. People who called it "borderline torture porn" clearly have not seen Saw or any of its brethren.
  18. Well, this is terrifying to think about. RT @jonl For 23 years, they thought he was in a coma, but he wasn't. http://bit.ly/6pvIda
  19. @sixcents_aw But in like an hour you'll be watching a movie. Yay.
  20. Amazing Lantern Birthday Card by my friend Nicole http://www.etsy.com/view_li...
