Fascinating, isn't it? And the bit about blaming the New Critics, in the same way the turn to "theory" sometimes gets blamed...
Replying to @surlyF
Argh. I want to be able to pry it out from behind the paywall, but cannot figure out a way. But yes, pretty cover.

Huh. I went to look at my history and got a nice button telling me I could turn web history on. A little surprised.

I'm not even sure I knew that turning it on was a thing; I think I just assumed that they were recording it regardless.

Does this apply only to other schools' MS programs, or is intramural bone-breaking - taking out the English dept - rewarded too?
Replying to @sivavaid
Hey, who's this "y'all" you're talking about? I got kicked out of an English dept. Maybe I could use help settling the score.

I'm experimenting with keeping Messages open, but just about the only person who ever IMs me is my partner.
Replying to @briancroxall and @rgfeal
IM is usu more synchronous than DM & it's a more private channel, so mis-posting is harder \(tho not impossible\).
My one complaint about the Messages beta for IM/SMS management is that I'd like the "buddies" list accessible from the main window.
Replying to @briancroxall
Not to mention that video chat requires launching FaceTime, so you can only use it with folks signed on with an Apple id.

Weird thing: Gmail in Chrome on MBAir has intermittent font rendering issue. Helvetica becomes faintly pixelated. Never happens on desktop.

URLs are not required for any resource in the 7th ed -- UNLESS it's necessary for your purposes!

Yes, twitter citations.

Cats appear fine. I, however, am displeased.
Problem 1: a suspiciously large amount of food in their bowls, despite not a lot of food used, which makes me wonder how often she came.

I know, right? For a two page book review.

I have a friend who had to hire a company that specializes in taking sofas apart & rebuilding them. Let me know if you need...
RT @jmittell: ICYMI: I've posted the first chapters of @ComplexTV for feedback at http://bit.ly/gcw5hc - please read, share & comment!
Replying to @katinalynn
I hope it won't, too. You'd never know their sofa had been taken apart, though; it's pretty amazing.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Nope! Deadline is 1 April. Propose away! #mla13
Replying to @jtheibault and @adelinekoh
Wow, and positively! Thanks for pointing this out.

This may be an AZERTY keyboard problem; have you tried forwarding the msg to your address except with a Z?
Replying to @wynkenhimself
Good question. Might be easier for her to remember that the A is in the wrong place. AZERTY is the French standard kbd, btw.

Dude. I sometimes feel like my projects are talking to me, but this would really freak me out.
I have written a thing today that, if I can get it approved, I will have accomplished something serious. #vaguetweet
Replying to @rgfeal
I most certainly hope you do/will!

In your inbox, boss.

Congrats!
Replying to @jcmeloni and @interfolio
Hooray! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Replying to @Crepuscularsofa
I have just received a MOST AMAZING package! I so look forward to testing it out. Thank you!

Seriously, I'm looking at them. Trying to decide how up-market I want to go for a first foray...

Did you get an answer to your Handbook login Q? Start on main MLA site & under Members click "Use the MLA Handbook website."
Replying to @nancybaym
The changes may be dizzying but will certainly be super-productive. I'll look forward to comparing notes with you!
Replying to @miriamkp
I'm afraid to look. By "interesting" do you mean "adds useful insight" or "makes your head explode"?
Replying to @miriamkp
Okay, that's what I was hoping for, but didn't want to click expecting that and instead get "what a bunch of whiners."

I was tempted by the super cute 11, too, but went with the 13 for the screen real estate - has the resolution of the 15" MBP.
Replying to @MrChase
Very cool! Alas, I won't be able to be there, but will hope to hear about how it goes. I hope there's good tweeting!
Replying to @MrChase
I won't be able to, alas; I'm stuck in a meeting all day and won't be able to get clear.
Replying to @boone
Okay, great. Now I'm going to have "C Is For Cookie" in my head for the rest of the night. \("That's good enough for me\!"\)
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C. \(Da da da da da da da…\)

Oh, dear. This can't end well.
Replying to @jtheibault
I'm so sorry, John. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Replying to @wynkenhimself, @amandafrench, @jenhoward and @capitolclio
Aw, man. I can't figure out why you didn't decide to get together in NYC instead.
Replying to @wynkenhimself, @amandafrench, @jenhoward and @capitolclio
Afraid I probably wouldn't make it on time, even if I took the Acela. Have fun, though!
My home iMac has just crossed the 3-year threshold & is slowing down a lot, despite Activity Monitor suggesting that everything's fine.
Replying to @speedysnail
Mine has similar lags at odd moments, and I can't figure out what's causing them.
Replying to @speedysnail
In my case it might be Chrome. But the planned obsolescence factor makes me crazy. Is Apple just trying to tell me it's time?
Replying to @DrGnosis, @fraistat and @libskrat
Phew!

*sigh* And this is after I did a major wipe & reinstall a month or so ago. The creeping slow is creeping back.

Scorsese says it's his most violent film.

This does not sound inappropriate.
Replying to @Ed_Raso
Hey, congrats!
Grateful for the sweet thought, though I think it's meant for someone else: “@3M4C: Wishing a better day for @kfitz, haters gon' hate. <3”
