Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-07

• Watching closing ceremonies; glad that corruption and tyranny didn't permanently deprive Russia of that heartbreaking national anthem. #
• Er. Well, closing ceremonies demonstrate that Canadians are just as good at tackiness as we Americans are. #
• Maybe even better. #
• Planning family day: horseback riding, cookie-eating, game-playing, room-cleaning. One of these things is not like the other. #
• At noon today I'll be talking about public confession on WHRV's Hearsay: http://www.hearsay.org/. #
• You can listen to Hearsay's broadcast today here: http://hearsay.org/post/Tuesday-March-2.aspx #
• I have a fresh cold. WAAHH. #
• Sauteeing lots and lots of garlic. Good for repelling colds (and other life-sucking dangers). #
• Have to go in to W&M for pre-midterm student appointments (four hours worth). I will probably sneeze on them (actually, kind of karmic). #
• Four hours of student appointments OVER. Dragging my plague-ridden self home through cold rainy streets. Need remote control, blankets, tea. #
• DH is at College Park watching MD play Duke. I am seriously worried. This is tough for an aging man… #
• Cell phone call from DH: THEY WON THEY'RE STORMING THE COURT GARY WILLIAMS IS AIIGGGHHHH…(end of call). #
• Heading off the grid to write and blow my nose. #
• Constructing a writing curriculum: no problem. Providing parents with a rubric to grade the writing: excruciatingly difficult. #
• Ooh, I have new kitchen toys. Ravioli mold, pasta rack, potato ricer, stock pot. #
• DH and I are collapsed tonight & watching four nights' worth of American Idol. This year's contestants are, er, idiots. #
• Appreciating Thomas Kane's writing classification (exposition, description, persuasion, entertainment), but what kinds of writing don't fit? #
• Spring colds should have their own disease name. Like "Rhinovirus Horrendous Eternalis." Or "Coronavirus Hacknspittius Despairius." #
• Have totally lost voice & am forced to communicate w/children w/facial expressions & frantic hand gestures. Guess how THAT'S working for me. #
• My mother just brought me a referee's whistle. Best get-well present EVER. #
