Listening: Nelly, Air Force Ones

My blog has drifted closer and closer toward the personal. I must steer a truer course. I will be victorious in this trial!

Shoutout to Martin M., former student of mine from the ASU Matrix class. Martin sent me a very funny link, Absolute Foucault.

Shoutout to Wesley for getting cited on CRTNET! Go Wesley.

What’s up with me and this shoutout thing. Feh.

Now, for the most important part of this entry. Drumroll……..

Obligatory link: Papermate Flair Felt-tip Pens at Staples.com

I love flair felt-tip pens. Carolyn at USF introduced me to the groovy green ones, which she uses for all grading (so much gentler than brutal red). My house is filled with functional green ones but my purple ones that Teresa stole for me two years ago from the Florida taxpayers have all run dry and I cannot find them. [...]

Josephus Daniels (18 May 1862-15 January 1948) was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Among his reforms of the Navy were inaugurating the practice of making 100 Sailors from the Fleet eligible for entrance into the Naval Academy, the introduction of women into the service, and the abolishment of the officers’ wine mess. From that time on, the strongest drink aboard Navy ships could only be coffee and over the years, a cup of coffee became known as “a cup of Joe”. From Yahoo’s LoneSailorShipStore.

Ha, Phrase Finder had cuppa joe in the discussion boards:
“It may be a variant of “java,” also a popular term for coffee since the 19th century, when the island of Java in Indonesia was a major source of the world’s coffee.

There is/was a company here in NY named Martinson’s Coffee which was owned by a [...]

Random Musings – Into the Blue Again

Listening: Booda Velvets, Headrush
Santana, Shaman
Reading: Slavoj Zizek, _The Sublime Object of Ideology_
Thyrza Goodeve and Donna Haraway, _How Like A Leaf_

So the first week of teaching for this semester is over. I’ve met all my classes and they rock. Feminist theory is going to be a blast. Lots of W.O.W. and Spectrum folk, which will make for groovy discussion. The Intro to Grad Studies class went well. I had a very neat experience in there that reminded me -again- of what it means to live in Louisiana. I have two black women in that class, one of whome thanked me for including bell hooks in the syllabus and commented on how she felt comfortable in the class. As she put it, she felt a lack of barriers due to race and gender. She said it was a unique experience at LSU. It reminded me [...]
