- 00:30 Sad. My wife forgot to cut up my sweet melon. #
- 11:08 Packing my political science office. I'm no longer an academic political scientist, until/if Ivy Tech hires me to teach! #
- 13:29 @Getch20 Cool. Lookin' forward to it. #
- 14:05 @Getch20 Got it and replied in the affirmative. #
- 17:00 HIRE ME YOU BASTARDS! #
- 17:10 wife forgot to pay credit card bill. #
- 19:20 @jamienkirk Normally she is very on top of it; she wrote the check, but didn't get it mailed off. It's taken care of now. #
- 20:24 two games of softball tonight. and apparently i'm the assistant coach. #
- 20:40 @harlotry I didn't have to get mine out. Dentist was like "it's cool bro" #
- 20:54 @harlotry maybe he pulls his junk lookin at your dental x-rays #
- 21:15 @pammymae I'm not one of those, and I'm not in the TH area, but I am def. looking for a job. Are you switching jobs or something? #
- 21:20 @pammymae Cool. Sam Snideman needs work, but not that kind of work. #
- 13:55 My wife is making what is apparently a beloved American desert: monkey bread. #
- 13:55 @harlotry Might as well start making the scarves now. #
- 14:38 @dreamingtree I've never had the stuff, but I am geeked up to try it out. #
- 14:39 @pammymae I've never been to a Reds game that was eventful. #
- 15:15 @pammymae At A&M they have sausage races: Beefy sausage, Jalepeno Sausage, and Summer Sausage. I always go for beefy. #
- 15:33 @pammymae Beefy won about2/3 of the games I made it to. #
- 15:55 @pammymae Geez. #
- 17:37 My wife let me purchase my first power tool today: a B&D drill/driver. #
- 19:08 I am slowly taking apart my life in Texas. #
- 20:38 Having a salad w/ chicken for dinner. Gotta off-set that delicious patty melt at lunch. #
- 00:04 Playing WoW...yes, I am a bit of a nerd. But then again, I've got a MA in a liberal art/social science so it goes w/o saying. #
- 09:01 Gotta get my weight lifting on. #
- 10:13 This David Carradine thing just gets stranger and stranger... #
- 11:46 Knocking out job applications. Let's hope some stuff starts turning up. #
- 14:16 @alishagarber bananas. #
- 14:19 I applied to be a bailiff for the Indianapolis circuit court. #
- 19:34 @dreamingtree If I were in Indy, I'd be all over that. #
- 21:17 @pammymae For real. First it's foul play, then suicide, then he's roped up by his nut sack or something. WTF, Bill? #
- 21:45 @pammymae Snatch the balls from my hand, grasshopper. #
- 22:25 @dreamingtree try not to get another DUI, brotha. #
- 22:26 @dreamingtree wait, you haven't got the license back yet, right? #
- 10:24 Jon Meacham's a hell of a writer. #
- 10:26 Holy balls: Bill from the "Kill Bill" movies is dead. #
- 10:44 shoulda been a librarian lol #
- 11:10 When I ran this place, it was like Dave & Buster's. People were just hanging out, eatings aps. Now it's like Dave died. #
- 11:55 @getchasketch54 any movement on the summer camping trip? #
- 12:01 @Getch20 Did you change your twitter account? But as to the wknds, that's cool. Just keep me in the loop. #
- 12:15 @Getch20 haha. sounds about right. #
- 20:02 Congrats to the Big Unit on his 300th career win. #
- 21:16 @pammymae I need to find a gym when I move back to Indy. #
- 22:02 @pammymae South side of Indy, son. #
- 22:02 @pammymae And I didn't realize Jaimie was on twitter. #
- 22:48 @pammymae I think they've got one close to where my in-laws live. #
- 11:30 I got married three years ago today. #
- 14:32 wife got me George Strait "50 #1's" and "Generation Kill" for the anniversary. #
- 17:57 Cafe Eccel for dinner tonight. You folks not in B/CS don't know the joy of eating at this high dollar eatery. #
- 07:57 @harlotry NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #
- 09:08 One day I'd like to tweet the top five trending topics in one tweet, just to see if my computer or twitter account exploded. #
- 09:10 Does NPR's "All Things Considered" have a twitter account? Anyone know? #
- 11:43 @GetchaSketch54 I'm sure that's not true. And my own comedic genius also tells me that's not funny, either. #
- 11:47 Go ahead and file under "news that shocks no one" www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/01/cheney.s
peech/index.html # - 11:48 Might go see a movie today if the timing is right. #
- 12:37 @GetchaSketch54 I laugh at plenty. But that's not funny. #
- 12:41 @harlotry Good luck to you. #
- 13:55 @GetchaSketch54 That is closer to funny. It gave me a smile. #
- 13:55 @dreamingtree Whoop! #
- 15:02 @GetchaSketch54 Jim Rome would give it the triple u: unfunny, unoriginal, and unreadable. Brought to you unofficially by bad breath. #
- 16:13 @jamienkirk I'll be 28 when I get mine (probably), but I did have three years of graduate school thrown in there. #
- 18:11 @dreamingtree what happened? #
- 20:10 @dreamingtree You're just a laugh riot. #
- 20:11 @jamienkirk It's true. I will have 3 degrees. #
- 21:42 @dreamingtree Believe it or not, through my study of political science and American politics, I've found it is neither. #
- 21:43 @dreamingtree Being the president's chief of staff or his press secretary are actually much tougher; they usually only last a year. #
- 22:41 @dreamingtree Yeah, the CoS and the PS usually have the highest burnout rate, b/c they have to know everything and be the gatekeepers. #
- 22:56 @dreamingtree I love "M v. W". Those SAS dudes are badass snake eaters man. #
- 08:44 @dreamingtree Yay #
- 09:10 @alishagarber Aw, I wish I could go to ICM. #
- 10:47 @jamienkirk No C's, son. #
- 11:37 @jamienkirk whoop! #
- 09:10 @harlotry Monday is hurricane season here. Remember, I lived through a couple. #
- 11:05 I think it's awesome A&M won a national title at something while I was a student here. Congrats, Aggie golf team. Whoop! #

- 08:37 why in the hell am i up at this hour? #
- 09:34 @GetchaSketch54 Well, if you've got all this spare time, do you want to drive down to Teaxas to help me move? #
- 09:56 @GetchaSketch54 Aw, come on. It's only 16 hours. I do it in a weekend haha. #
- 10:26 Trying to get motivated to play COD4. #
- 11:55 I wish I had kept the car today so that I could go see a movie instead of sitting around the house doing nothing. #
- 12:42 MAURY POVICH DNA TEST SHOW! YAY! #
- 13:50 @AggieNetwork Whoop! #
- 13:50 @dreamingtree The hospital? #
- 23:14 @AggieNetwork WHOOP! #
- 09:23 @alishagarber YAY #
- 09:23 I have an "interview" at IUPUI when I get back to IN. Possible future college teaching position. We'll see. #
- 09:59 I think the sunburn is turning a corner. It's a little less painful, though my range of motion is still really limited. #
- 10:54 @jamienkirk I managed to avoid C's in college thus far. By the skin of my teeth in my econometrics class. #
- 12:02 @jamienkirk Everyone always thinks IU is UI. All the time down here. I'm like WTF buddy? #
- 12:02 @jamienkirk But the worst is that people think I went to IU because I'm from Indiana. I don't think everyone from TX went to A&M or UT. #
- 13:52 @jamienkirk For real. When I first moved here, someone asked if I was from Gary...I didn't know how to respond. #
- 13:53 @Janubris Oh come on...if a city isn't built on rock and roll then the terrorists win. #
- 13:53 @alishagarber Are they hot? #
- 17:37 @GetchaSketch54 I think NPR shows and sports talk radio are about the only radio programs I actually listen to anymore. #
- 17:37 @GetchaSketch54 But I def. don't want to go and follow all of those twitter accounts haha. #
- 22:41 bit.ly/118Xh8
An old video, but a hilarious one. DRANK! # - 22:41 @cweilemann When I get back to the Midwest we need to go out. #
- 08:43 DAMNED SUNBURN! #
- 11:58 I think the sunburn may be getting minimally better. @GetchaSketch54: my chest is the color of my arm after that Reds game. #
- 12:04 @dreamingtree: YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER! #
- 12:09 @dreamingtree OH SNAP SON! WE BETTER GET A DNA TEST FOR @harlotry!!! #
- 12:13 @dreamingtree You know we can get you on the Maury show and he can give you a lie detector test and a DNA test at the same time! #
- 12:16 @dreamingtree YES! That's how they do the lie detector test on the Maury show. #
- 12:28 @GetchaSketch54 She's been hooking it up with the aloe. But it is a bad one...I've got John McCain's range of arm motion now. #
- 13:07 @GetchaSketch54 Seriously. I can't even pull the chain on the ceiling fan; I can't get my arms over my head. #
- 13:17 I really like this HBO show "In Treatment" #
- 15:02 @dreamingtree Get a man purse. Or a backpack. Or a camelback...since a lot of them have a zippered compartment. #
- 15:05 Bought some Blue Baker banana bread. Waiting until later to eat it, so Deb can have some. #
- 15:10 @dreamingtree Going to get my last haircut in Texas next week after I get my paycheck. #
- 15:26 Robert Earl Keen might be my favorite musician right now...who is yours? #
- 15:34 @dreamingtree Not familiar with that band. Describe the music in 140 characters or less. #
- 15:45 @dreamingtree Pretty cool stuff. Very folk-y; sort of seems like a song that could have been a Dylan song. #
- 20:53 @harlotry I saw a little bit of it. But then Keith Urban started singing and I turned it off. I'll probably venture back that way soon. #
- 21:21 Tonight my wife has called me both "Mr. Tomato Man" and "her little roma tomato." #
Between the woman bringing on 50 dudes for a DNA test to determine who is her child's father and the guy who is lying on the lie detector test about paying for sex while he's been with his girlfriend, I just don't even know what to make of American society.
EDIT: And the apologies! Don't get me started on the forced, insincere apologies. Like this one I just heard: "I'm sorry I've been having sex with your man for the past four months."
Except to say that I AM NOT THE FATHER!!!

- 09:19 Tore up by sunburn. It hurts to think. #
- 10:00 We've packed all of our movies, but for some reason the only one left out was the most recent "Incredible Hulk" movie. WTH? #
- 12:25 @dreamingtree They are relatively inexpensive if you can find one at a sporting goods store. Like 30-40 bucks. #
- 14:07 @GetchaSketch54 You are absurd. #
- 14:10 www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/26/california.sam
e.sex.marriage/index.html Makes me a little ashamed. One more reason not to live in CA. # - 14:12 @GetchaSketch54 That's not entirely fair. You aren't absurd, but your "logic" is. #
- 14:13 @dreamingtree Congrats. It's been a long while since I've done over a 2-2.5 mile walk/hike. #
- 14:18 I think I may go see Star Trek this week, since I don't really have anything going on. #
- 14:19 @GetchaSketch54 Your dog cannot consent. #
- 14:21 @GetchaSketch54 What's perverted about it? #
- 14:23 @GetchaSketch54 I can't believe how unbelievable you are with this stuff. #
- 14:30 Can't wait until Debbie gets home so she can aloe vera my sunburn. I can't really move my arms well enough to do it alone. #
- 14:39 @GetchaSketch54 I'm not going to get baited into an argument that neither you nor I want to have. #
- 14:39 @GetchaSketch54 Spent the day at a lake. Thought I was only going to be in the water for like 15 minutes; ended up there for an hour. #
- 14:44 I would like to hire Scott Boras to negotiate my salary for any future job I might find. #
- 15:45 I'm getting really excited for my law school orientation in August. #
- 16:32 Need to pound some water/gatorade/vitamin water to rehydrate and get back the electrolytes lost b/c of the sunburn. #
- 16:47 I think I'd like to work for the ACLU one day. #
- 16:53 @dreamingtree Def. fail. We need to invest in a SPF 1000 sunscreen. #
- 16:53 @pammymae Not surprising. #
- 16:54 I think my wife's going to let me buy some power tools soon. #
So the president picked his nominee for the upcoming Supreme Court vacancy. I think she's fine; she may be more liberal than some of my friends prefer, or not as liberal as some of my friends prefer. But whatever, the president thinks she would be a fine justice, she seems pretty qualified, etc. And I've long been for presidents getting what they want when it comes to these kind of appointments; until very recently, there was a mutual/bipartisan acceptance of this position.
My problem (I guess its a problem) is that we haven't had a single legal scholar/serious intellectual appointed to the Court in a long time. I mean, presidents default to picking federal appeals court justices now, and that's fine I suppose. But there was a time when presidents picked law professors, state court judges, governors, and practicing attorneys for the Court. It gave the Court a much more egalitarian character (in so far as a bunch of white guys could be considered egalitarian) than what we see now. At least there was more intellectual diversity.

- 22:58 Ridiculous sunburn. #
- 16:19 @harlotry My wife didn't get carded to get into the Dance Hall's bar, and she was overjoyed. First time someone thought she was old enough. #
- 11:29 Got my boots and some denim. I should fit in well at the Gruene Dance Hall. I'm only missing an oversized belt buckle and a cowboy hat. #
- 14:55 @GetchaSketch54 I'll weep a little inside if it does. #
- 15:18 Playing NCAA Football 08; makes me laugh that the drive summary is sponsored by Pontiac. #
- 16:46 @GetchaSketch54 Just looked at some old wedding pictures. Remember when we sang to Debbie? #
- 13:05 Alright, the sportscaster might have said "D-backs" but it sounded like he said "D-bags." #
- 13:46 I'm dressing up as a pirate today for my wife's pre-school class. They're going on a treasure hunt. #
- 15:54 @dreamingtree Which one? Original or sequel? #
