Coming right up…

alldirections:

Round 67 of the interview/selection process for a dean position I thought, at least 63 times, that I had no chance of landing. This round will either be another presentation on co-curricular trends…or evening wear.

Good luck! When you are a dean, I will never NOT call you Dean-O. Also, marry the youngest faculty member in your department. It never doesn’t work.

Moving

alldirections:

Packing for a move. It’s been four years since I’ve traded spaces. I forgot how much this feels like packing for a fucking percussion ensemble concert by myself.

Sounds like you need a better packing assignment sheet…Good Luck!

New Big Ten Logo and Division Names Revealed -

Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Penn State are the “Legends” while Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin are the “Leaders.”

And all of the Big Ten conference will now be a “Laughingstock” as word circulates about these horrendous choices.

My favorite part of the article (and one no one wants to talk about this close to Christmas:

“The design firm Pentagram came up with the new logo.”

That’s right, the Big 10 went with a design firm named Pentagram. This explains the following: how JoePa is seemingly ageless, the continued employment of Ron Zook, why Pryor signed with Ohio State, Nebraska, why Notre Dame won’t join the conference…I’m having areal “Keyser Soze” moment over here.

“This is what makes the world boring, quite frankly: the absolute refusal to risk that anything might be disappointing, and the accompanying conviction that if you are disappointed, you’ve been wronged. It’s the entitlement of the incurious, and it does nothing good for anyone.” — Steve Martin Isn’t Predictable Enough!: This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things : Monkey See : NPR (via benkraal)

Yep. Although, I probably would’ve wanted to hear a story about “The Jerk”…

 Johnny Cash’s to-do list for sale.

I feel like I just discovered the meaning of life.

In many ways, the best such list that’s ever been made.
