Danny. Freakin’. Glover.
You know who should be in the center of this poster? Danny Glover, y’all. Danny. Freakin’. Glover. He is the movie. Sure that little girl is a cute throwback to Macaulay Culkin, and this movie has a lot of Home Alone vibes (which are intentional), but this movie would be nothing without Danny Glover. When…

Xmas Watching, Day 2: Sugar Rush
One of my favorite shows is Nailed It! It takes a lot to make me laugh when it comes to shows, but I laugh every time I watch this show. Nicole Byers is so funny. I love Jacques Torres. My niece calls the show Door 1, Door 2 cuz she’s five. She loves to take…

Let the Xmas Watching Begin
Even though I don’t really like most of the movies you can freely watch through subscription notices such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and so forth, I find myself watching them anyway. Maybe it’s some kind of self-flagellation. So, as December 1 rolled around, I said, now’s the time! Now’s the time to dig in to…

WPW: First Day of Fall 2020 Semester
#whatprofessorswear Some of us are teaching online, and some of us are teaching m2m (mask to mask). Some of us are teaching hyflex and hybrid. Some of us are staring into cameras. Some of us are gazing over masks, and some of us are doing both–teaching to students in classrooms and students online at the…

Dark Academia
#whatprofessorswear Ah, it’s another lovely summer day in the middle of a pandemic (or is it just the beginning? who knows).

An Unexpected Gift: Opera
The COVID-19 world we live in now has taken a lot of stuff away from us. It hasn’t given us much good, but it has gifted us something, and that is free opera streams! On March 17 I began watching The Metropolitan Opera’s free nightly streaming of their Live in HD series. These performances were…

WPW: Teaching Online in the Time of COVID-19
#whatprofessorswear Here we are…teaching online because it is the “safest” way for us to do so. In the age of COVID-19, we are not getting in our cars and driving to work. We are not packing our lunches or picking up coffee at Starbucks. We are staying home because it is the right thing to…

WPW: What I Wore Before Online Teaching
#whatprofessorswear I have been teaching for two weeks since my university moved all classes online. When I would go to work before this change, I enjoyed “dressing up,” which means I enjoyed creating outfits, selecting accessories, and basically caring about how I looked. Here are some pictures of the outfits I didn’t get a chance…

Social Distancing: Let it Snow/Let it Go
I have been social distancing for 24 days now. During these 24 days it has snowed twice, but only one of these days was a true snow. It doesn’t always snow a lot in March in Maine, but sometimes you get a nice, hefty snow that lasts a day or two. That snow happened on…
