Saturday, January 24th, 2009DC’s (my wonderful and understanding and extremely patient webmaster) dad passed away yesterday morning. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
What I Really, *Really* Want
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009I meant to post yesterday, but I got sidetracked. It’s probably just as well because I wanted to take some time to think about President Obama and what I want to see happen over the next 4 years. Of course I want the same things many of us want: a decent-paying job (that will afford [...]
P.S.
Monday, January 19th, 2009It’s snowing again. Big, white, fluffy flakes of absolute perfection. Better snow than rain.
Yeah, I’ve Got A Lot of Nothin’
Monday, January 19th, 2009I hate when my life gets so focused on a singular aspect – I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise that I’m in “all school, all the time” mode, even though I’ve still got another couple of weeks of break left. And, frankly, school is the last thing I want to talk about. I’d forgotten [...]
Happy Friday!
Friday, January 16th, 2009Sorry for the lack of posts this week; it’s been sort of an emotional upheaval, but I’m over it. I already know I’m not the best student, but I do try and when it doesn’t work out quite like I think it will I revert back to my high school days and all the insecurity [...]

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009If I ever mention that I think getting a PhD is a good idea, will someone please remind me that I should never undertake anything that makes me feel inherently stupid? Thank you.

Vampire Morning
Thursday, January 8th, 2009I’ve been exceptionally cranky and moody lately – nothing too surprising about that, but it even got to be too much for me. Those of you who actually know me, know that I don’t go to the doctor unless I’m in one of two states: wit’s end or death bed. This falls under “wit’s end”. [...]
Five Things
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009I snaked this meme from Bleeding Expresso. 1. What are five things you were doing five years ago? (I changed this from ten years to five years – I can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning, much less what I was doing ten years ago…even five years is a stretch…) Living in Los [...]
Well…Yay!
Monday, January 5th, 2009Back in October, after being in Scotland for not quite a month, I ran an interview with author James Salter about his book A idade da auga. Well, it looks like I won’t be having to break open a Galician / English dictionary because Mr. Salter has posted the first story contained in his book [...]
