A ho-down, extra stab-in-the-dark credit, some new tunes, class, and some crosswords…

Disclaimer: A “black chick” sent this link to me.

You ain’t woman enough to run this land.  It’s a Hillary Condoleezza Ho-Down!

My favorite line from this clip is when Hillary says, “George tell Jeb the next bush in the White House will be mine!”

My favorite visual is when Hillary’s face flips to a smile after the last time she says, “And you ain’t woman enough to run this land.”

Both of those things make me LOL!

I wrote my response to the “midterm ten-point extra credit question” for [my ENG 525: Variety in Language class]1 today. I have no idea or one iota of confidence that I even answered the question. Par for this course.

1Updated text with regards to Casey’s comment.


From my class notes tonight: A guest speaker started the class tonight seeking participants in a study on dialects. He was hot. He’s from Northern Ireland and his name is Warren Maguire.

During our break tonight, I asked Jenn about the categories that everyone seemed to be talking about when describing their interview analysis paper last week — where they came from.

“Didn’t you get the e-mail he sent us with that information in it? It told us all about what to include in the analysis, and how to look for the things in those categories,” she said.

Damnit. I’m going to go back and look at that, and I may rewrite that paper and just turn it in to see if I can get any extra credit on it. In retrospect, it’s a miracle I got a B on it without using that information at all.

After class, I asked Erin and Donica for some advice on my final paper, and boy was I glad I did. They were both very helpful, and I’m feeling a little better about this class now — ignoring, of course, the ongoing teaching methodology issues.


After class, I dropped by Helios, where I did today’s USA Today Crossword Puzzle online.
