Monday, September 28th, 2009Okay…
So if the skull that the soviets have had since 1945 – and was touted as Hitler’s skull – actually belongs to a woman who was younger than 40, and if it doesn’t belong to Eva Braun who, rumor has it, died by ingesting cyanide, I’m left with two questions:
1. Who’s skull is it?
2. Where [...]
8 Years Later
Friday, September 11th, 2009When the QM2 was sailing into port in the wee hours of 4 September 2009, the Manhattan Skyline illuminated everything around it. Conspicuously missing, of course, were the twin towers – a gaping wound in the skyline welcoming me home after my year abroad. I thought about September 11th 2001, where I was, what I [...]
As If We Needed More Proof
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Here’s yet another example of PETA’s absolute ridiculousness.
Idiots and hypocrites. That may be the only thing to say without resorting to using profanity, which would be what I really want to say about them.
The Deed Is Done
Sunday, August 9th, 2009No, I didn’t stab anyone. Or commit hari-kari. Both of which I thought about occasionally, but if I’d acted on either thought I’d either A) be in jail or B) be dead, which means I’d have no internet access and wouldn’t be writing this blog.
The deed is my dissertation. It’s done. Complete. Finish. It’s not [...]
Well, Things Just Might Change
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009I’ve never donated a dime to my alma mater. Not a penny. Every “gift request” gets either thrown in the trash (if received via pony express) or deleted (if received via email). Immediately.
This was for a number of reasons: One – I was never happy with how the former President of the College spent money. [...]
Thoughts for a Tuesday
Tuesday, July 21st, 20091. I’m down to 23 days to finish my dissertation. I’m on the tale-end of a complete chapter re-write with two more edits to do plus write my Introduction and Conclusion. I wonder if I’ll make it.
2. Why does “Baby Got Back” always manage to get stuck in my head?
3. Why did I think it [...]
This Is It…
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009The end stretch – I have officially completed drafts for all of my chapters (4 of them), and have now begun working on my re-writes. I know this dissertation is not going to turn out the way I’d originally planned, but that’s typical. I still need to write my Introduction and Conclusion, so I need [...]
That Red Stain On The Wall…
Friday, July 10th, 2009Is the remains of my head having exploded.
This Just In…
Tuesday, July 7th, 20091. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in approximately 7 days, 1 hour, and 30 minutes.
2. I am perplexed that when I have the most thinking to do, my brain simply doesn’t want to cooperate.
3. I keep telling myself to freak out tomorrow. This has kept the worst of it at bay.
4. Am thinking [...]
I’m Confused…
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Will someone please explain to me why President Obama says “that we can’t welcome…reform that justs invests more money in the status quo – reform that throws good money after bad habits” in regards to the health care industry and yet he saw fit to throw money hand over fist at the banking and auto [...]
