So apparently I'm teaching a class this summer at my university. This is the first time I've ever taught a course, and the enrollment is 150. Z. O. M. G. I'm going through a continuous cycle of excitement, terror, denial, and anticipation. That could just be caused, however, by the alarming amount of caffeine I've put in my system as I attempt to mark 53...

Ugh, Nicki Minaj, I just don't like you. I mean, what is that? I listened to your album, every single track. Never again.

Also, I love me some of this:


Oh Wu Tang, you're such a bunch of nerds.

Hello new friend! Sweet tunes you've posted here. I have to say I've never actually heard anything of Nicki Minaj, other than her verse on Kanye West's Monster. Which was fucking wicked.

After two years of coursework, a long (long) semester-and-a-bit of studying, I am now ABD. Now all that's left is that pesky dissertation.

Tonight I am going to a party that is featuring an indoor bouncy castle. I plan on being hungover and pretty badly bruised tomorrow as a result.

How are you?

All things considered, it was a good day. I finally got an email back from the journal that's going to publish my book review; the grad coordinator of my department wants to use my scholarship application in her professional development seminar as an example of "how to write"; and my lecture this morning, my first ever to a large class, went really well (I think)....

Don't Do What Donny Don't Does!

DONNY DON'T: E-mail your ex. There is no good that can come from such an action.

DONNY DON'T: Look at the CVs of people who are more successful than you. It serves no purpose and will just make you feel bad.

DONNY DON'T: Leave your bike out in the rain without covering the seat. Cause then you have to...

Today an acquaintance whom I haven't seen in a few months asked me how my summer was. I said, it was okay. What did I do during it? Not a lot, just sort of chilled. Did I go anywhere? No, not really. Oh. Right.

But that's kind of exactly the way I wanted summer to be. From September until May things are so crazy that...

Happy academic new year!

It's officially the first day of school (at least in my neck of the woods). The new students look so young. It is because they are getting younger as the years go on. That is why.

I am running tutorials this year. In Mississauga. Blech. Or: puke. Thank you, barfing emoticon.

Don't get me wrong: I like running tutorials. Just...

Mississauga is sucky.

Where I used to live In Guelph it's the south end. It's this crappy cookie cutter community that's sprawling further and futher. It totally detracts from a really charming and eccletic downtown.

Where I live now is too isolated for suburbs and sprawl. It's kinda nice.

A lot of weekenders in the DC area drive up to the city from Virginia. They seem to be a lot of popped-collar abercrombie-wearing backwoods hipsters. When we see them in the streets on the weekends we assume they are Virginians so we fittingly call them "Cousin Fuckers".

It's 3 a.m., not what time this site says this post has been made. I think I accidentally set something to to some different time zone, I don't know. I think if you add about 3 hours to the time it says on my postings, then you'll get the actual time of my posting.

This is a drunk posting, which I've yet to do here...
