Yeh, it's a dry title, but Google just dredged up this site, Ted Jobs, and while the site is focused not at all on the Humanities, the Faculty Job Seeker's Resources is FAN-ASSED-TASTIC. If you're looking, or advising a graduate student headed into the fray, start here. It's quite the helpful.
I'm still working on the Dublin post. First, there are com/con paragraphs to assess. Woo-hoo.
I'm reading Cortazar Blow Up and Other Stories and Hesse Pictor's Metamorphosis, and really want to develop a class on the 20th Cent. fable/fairytale. I just feel that would be great fun. These two, plus some Calvino, a little Marquez, Roy, some of the PoMo work over FC2, Maso.... we could go everywhere and think about everything.
Oh, and the local news says that the yearling cheetah that escaped is back home with mama in the zoo. Couple days ago, two men were arrested for aggravated flight when they stole formula, diapers, and toilet paper (or something) from a Walmart and then fled the police for half and hour before their tire blew ... shades of Raising Arizona. Couple weeks ago, some college kids were buying a hefty load of pot, two of them took the dope and RAN, leaving their friend to be beaten and tortured by the dealer with ... ... fresh Tollhouse cookies. Yep, they burned the kid with cookies. Crime in Walden. Oh, well, not so Walden, an 11 year old was sentenced to 60 years for the rape and near fatal beating of an 8 year old, and a substitute teacher is under indictment for statutory rape of an 11 year old boy. Lately, it's all News of the Weird around here.
And we just really have to stop being so psychotic about sex in this culture. We really, really, do.
