Observations from the road

• The airlines are seriously totally utterly broken.
  
• Heineken is yummy.
• I miss The Someone so very very much.
• Wild Turkey is cheaper than Heineken in certain Southern states.
• So is Jim Beam.
• I can no longer not own an iPhone. Seriously. The desire, it is strong.
  
• Nancy Grace is obsessed with missing and dead children.
• America needs a jeans makeover.
• Why not be drunk upon arrival to the MLA? Why not?
• This plane might actually depart at 6 p.m., with a delay of a mere six hours and fifteen minutes.
  
• My nieces and my nephew are awesome.
  
• My longing for The Someone occurs, I am convinced, on a molecular level.
• I wonder what would happen if I switched from Heineken to Wild Turkey.
  
• Or Jim Beam.

Law of conservation of online energy

I (like almost everyone else in the world wide world) seem to be spending most of my online time on Facebook these days. I am not giving up the blog. I do foresee blogging again regularly in the very near future, especially when knowing one way or the other about tenure is not consuming my imagination and when not talking about it ceases to be a near impossible and energy-sucking feat. In the meantime, if you are on Facebook and want to friend me, please feel free! If you do not know my real name, just email me at doctormedusa at gmail dot com.

Good luck to everyone with the end of the semester, various levels of grading imprisonment, job search mania and depression, promotions, babies, holidays, books, travel, and staying warm and happy and sane but not too sane.
