Theory dork.
Miriam and Alyssa suggest we all admit to the first order we ever placed with Amazon. I comply more out of curiosity than a deep need to run with the cool kids. Needless to say, the two items Amazon shipped me in 2000 tell you everything you need to know to understand who I was a decade ago.
PREVIOUS POST
I can't believe I wrote all that last year.
Because I've been grading all damn day and am as tired as a Swearengen of hearing other about the finished semesters of pretty much every other academic blogger, I thought that it might be best to avoid jealously lashing out and scribble a "Best of Acephalous 2009" post. However, when I started looking through my archives, it occurred to me that my output this year defines me much more sharply than in years past. What do I mean? The posts I consider foundational to my current professional identity all seem to have been composed in 2009. Granted, the likelihood that I'm suffering from the identitarian equivalent of presentism is awfully high, but I honestly thought I'd written some of the posts from early 2009 in 2006 or so. (It may also be that I remember the scene of their writing, which would have been in the old apartment, i.e. the place I barely remember ever having lived in anymore.) If you have absolutely nothing better to do on a Friday night, feel free to scan through my 2009 archives and tell me what you think should be included in the "Best of" post. If you do have something better to do, though, by all means do it.

Dull-witted, unattractive, and indigent, that's me. Just hope I never get caught calling someone *else* something like that--that would really embarrass me.
