    • Uh, hello several hrs l8r! That last tweet was supposed to be a DM to @pinchmysalt re: her red velvet cake recipe. http://tinyurl.com/5wqqm4 #
    • Not hearing back from you, I went ahead and used the whole two bottles (2 oz). P.S. I see why everything had to be room temp! #
    • @pinchmysalt Do you think the Red Velvet Cake can be made with one ounce of red food coloring, as someone suggested? #
    • I think Buxley is actually barking at the door for me to come outside… well, it wouldn’t hurt to step away from the computer! #

    • Watching Brothers & Sisters on DVR. Hubby just erased Celebrity Apprentice. Sorry @zappos! #
    • Just bought a Wii Fit at the Game Stop in Christown Mall. Just learned of reviews on gamestop.com last week & didn’t know they had stores. #
    • BTW, the guy at the Indian restaurant who asked if I were blogging was a young American-accented Indian guy with a turban. He has a G1 too! #
    • Just saw a very tall man and a little dwarf woman within three minutes. If it’s a sign, I’m not sure of what. Anyway, long live diversity! #
    • We’re at Indian Delhi Palace. “Taking a picture of our food?” Yes! “Probably blogging now, right?” Right! 😉 http://short.to/2bxt #
    • Andy & I are heading to the Desert Botanical garden with guest passes. Anyone interested? DM me. The cactus & succulent show is there now. #

    • The “Catalan artist” in VickyChristinaBarcelona & his ex-wife (Penelope Cruz) speak Castilian & his father writes poetry in Spanish. Hello? #
    • Vicky’s in Barcelona for her Master’s in Catalan culture, but she takes Spanish, falls in love with a “Catalan artist” who speaks Castilian. #
    • Searched Twitter for vicky christina barcelona catalan: http://tinyurl.com/b88g7o Found someone else who noticed the absence of Catalan. #
    • Watching Vicky Christina Barcelona, which has been on my Netflix Saved queue for months and top of queue for weeks. Very long wait over! #
    • So, #PrivatePractice jumped ahead three months this last episode. And it’s a good thing Addison didn’t kiss her patient’s husband! Ugh! #
    • How would you invite people to a private birthday party? Snail mail? Email? Facebook? Twitter? Evite? Upcoming? Friends only Flickr photo? #
    • Going to fix myself some hot chocolate, and then I must tweak my slideshow to shrink my workshop on Genre Recognition from 5 to 3.5 hours. #
    • Reading comments on my Flickr photos & responding, looking at commenters’ photos, looking at my Friends’ photos. http://tinyurl.com/d236wz #

  • Genre Recognition Venn Diagram

    I’m such a nit-picking perfectionist it’s killing me! I’m working on tweaking my slideshow presentation for a workshop I’m teaching at the Arizona RID State Conference, and I’m creating a Venn diagram because it was suggested by a few of the participants when I first taught this workshop last November. Problem is I’ve never created a Venn diagram before. I’m trying to represent how Genre Recognition is a skill that develops at the intersection of Discourse Analysis, Predictive Skills*, and Genre Theory.

    Is this diagram readable? Does anyone have any suggestions for improving it? Can you believe I’ve been working on this for an hour? Urgh! I hate being a perfectionist!

    *While Googling “predictive skills” (a term used a lot in ASL interpreter training), I could not find a single page that defined the term. Hm… interesting.
