Got up not too terribly late; had oatmeal and coffee; got semi-organized, and now I'm off to Billings for the day.
MoMA | The Collection | Marcel Odenbach. You Can't See the Forest for the Trees. 2003 - http://www.moma.org/collect...
This whole exhibition blew me away last month when I saw it in person, but sadly the web version isn't doing much for me. #artgallery - laura x from Bookmarklet
Look! Some of your WY peeps here in NYC! http://www.metmuseum.org/special... - Stephen Francoeur
Hot damn! - laura x
@julidavis Twitter works pretty well, too (albeit not always immediately--I was offline for awhile there).
Two more cavities. Wyoming is bad for my teeth.
The telephone is absolutely the worst way to reach me.
yup - D0r0th34
phone? what the heck is that? - Sir Shuping
"Also, most programs are more interesting than this one." Favorite line so far in the reading for http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb...
Are you planning to do that course systematically? - Steve is older than ever
That is my plan, yes--I'm following along via this Dreamwidth community: http://intro-to-cs.dreamwidth.org/ (thanks to Dorothea for pointing me to geekfeminism.org, which in turn pointed me to this) - laura x

My mother says her new cat does not understand why the kitty in the mirror doesn't want to play with him.
Some cats pay attention to mirrors, some don't. - D0r0th34
My Plum cat likes to meow at her image in the mirror. - Katy S
Dream likes to beat the living daylights out of his. - D0r0th34
Your cat is violent! - Katy S
Awww. :) - Laura H.
My cats have not discovered the kitties who live in the mirror--or they have and are just uninterested. - laura x
My cats all seem to understand the concept of mirrors. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Plum is the only one of mine that seems interested in the mirror. Sophie has bigger fish to fry, like figuring out how to remove her collar: http://ff.im/ajrRE - Katy S
7 a.m. Laura wishes she'd gotten up to go swimming. 5:30 a.m. Laura, however, was much more interested in sleep.
There was a 'Roasted' cartoon like this. '*Yesterday* me wanted to go running at 6, *Today* me *hates* yesterday me...' - Pete
Brian Herzog did not, I think, mean for these notes to be a response to the SirsiDynix open source ILS white paper kerfuffle, but they actually do a nice job of responding to many of its concerns: http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/2009...
I hate it when I open the dumpster to find the remains of a deer carcass looking up at me. #huntingseason #Wyoming
Gah. :( - Derrick
what D. said. just... gah. - holly
Um, wow. - Laura B coughin'
Can they do that? - Rochelle
Well, they do, so I guess they can? - laura x
@medinger I wouldn't really recommend starting with the later Betsy-Tacy books--by high school, they get a bit fluffy.
RT @jessamyn: RT @ranginui I think people would be better served commenting on their own blogs rather than the lighthouse. #sirsidynix
Dinner at Casa X tonight: salad (mixed greens, grape tomatoes, and roasted garlic balsamic vinaigrette) and this soup, only with veggie stock and coconut milk instead of soy milk, and minus the cilantro: http://www.organicvalley.coop/recipes....
Would anyone's children like M&Ms? I have both peanut and regular. I had 2 sets of trick or treaters, total.
I intentionally bought candy I don't like. - Steve is older than ever
Yeah, I mostly don't like any candy, and I will never eat these. There is always the teachers' lounge. - laura x
that's what all the teachers are saying too. It's kind of like a post-halloween cookie exchange, except with candy. - DJF
Was thinking of writing something about Halloween and then remembered I'd already done so in 2007: http://newrambler.net/ramblin...
Today I stimulated the economy by buying Halloween candy at the convenience store.
The local economy, for sure. - Julian
Ah, but it's supposed to trickle up. Or out. Or some direction. - laura x
Ate pancakes for breakfast and licked the plate. Real maple syrup is the only way to go.
Waffles for us, but we'd agree on the real maple syrup. - Walt Crawford
I inherited a love of waffles from my father but a dislike of making them from my mother, so I generally go the pancake route. - laura x
the problem with waffles is the requirement for specialized, single-purpose equipment. - DJF
Grade B. Sarah is making pancakes right now! - marthalib
DJF: A good point--and unusual for us (we don't have food processors, bread machine, electric mixer, blender, panini maker...or, really, *any* single-purpose kitchen electricals--except for the wafflemaker and coffeegrinder). But the Saturday whole-grain waffles: Too much of a wonderful tradition. - Walt Crawford
I admit to <3ing our food processor. It's the grater/slicer attachment that does it. - D0r0th34
DJF: there are waffle irons that double as griddles/panini makers/other hot-surface-cooky things. My mom and sister have (different) ones. We caved and just got a cheap waffle iron because we already have a cast-iron griddle. - Catherine OlderThanSteve
My grandmother in New Hampshire gives us maple syrup for Christmas every year. This is how she makes sure I still love her! - Chris Z.
we bought our very old, awesome waffle iron at a garage sale. paid about $2 - marthalib
Also, would you people please keep the concept of "syrup" to yourselves? J was under the impression that waffles and pancakes were to be eaten plain until we had breakfast at my sister's house a couple weeks ago and he discovered "dip." - Catherine OlderThanSteve
Laura, one thing I like about this post and love about your writing in general is that you write like an essayist and not like a PR flack. You admit and expose ambiguities and uncertainties and don't always try and wrap them up in a neat package or position. - Steve is older than ever
Stephen Abram just commented on the post, if anyone's curious. - laura x
The guy standing in front of the chalk board in the third picture down here? My dad. http://www.ericwestonphoto.net/cornell...
Make your own academic sentence: http://writing-program.uchicago.edu/toys....
"The linguistic construction of desire invests itself in the construction of the gendered body." - Mar₭ the Engaged
"The (re)formation of civil society functions as the conceptual frame for the ideology of print culture." - Free?
"The eroticization of the gaze is homologous with the engendering of the gendered body." - Rachel Walden
"The epistemology of pop culture may be parsed as the historicization of pedagogical institutions." - Kirsten
"The eroticization of pop culture invests itself in the authentication of print culture." - Joe....
I'd like to see a conversation between academics and business people speaking in their own languages with a surfer dude as translator. - Liam Sullivan
Oh, and "The epistemology of praxis recapitulates the historicization of pedagogical institutions." - Liam Sullivan
@julidavis I think they can only report the conditions, not change them, but http://wyoroad.info/ is your friend.
FriendFeed, don't fail me now.
Watching #library101. My connection speed is such that it is sort of like watching pictures download line by line in the days of dialup.
It rocks, btw. - Laura B coughin'
GREG. SCHWARTZ. #il2009 #battledecks That would be @gregschwartz on the Tweetmachine. Go go go!
RT @jblyberg Dear tweeps: pls don't tag your sea lion pictures with #il2009. They know nothing of our ways. ktnx.
@djfiander Is it not so incredibly adorable when cats snore? So much cuter than when people snore. At least this is the case with my cat.
