So once again it's been waaaaaayyyy too long. Long enough, in fact, that this entry window is no longer in monotype? This is kind of freaking me out ( Read more... )

It's been a loooong time since I last posted, so I should probably file some updates ( Read more... )

I feel like I only post here when I'm upset anymore. I guess two in a row isn't TOO many, but it feels like it would be annoying to whatever audience there is (hai guyz ( Read more... )

Not that anyone asked (not you guys, family), but just fucking miserable as a matter of fact. Good talk.

So, Mom's having foot surgery tomorrow, which will be exciting. My sister's going to be angry with me for also having a gym appointment in the afternoon, but there will be 45 minutes MAX between when she leaves for work and when I get back, during which time Mom will probably be asleep (more like 20-30 minutes). I really hope it goes fine, and that ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's only Tuesday. Mom and Dad left for Texas on Saturday, and will be gone a week. They assumed, not irrationally, that their two adult daughters could manage to coexist for seven days without complete catastrophe. This was, perhaps, optimistic in our particular case ( Read more... )

So mostly I'm bored and lonely, since I feel like I can't really talk to my family when my sister's home (or my dad basically ever) - though, to be fair, we have had a few pleasant interactions since I got back, so there's that.

So I'm sure this isn't news to any of you on Facebook, and I do apologize for my terrible record-keeping here on LJ, but a couple things: 1) I'm back home again in Indiana (no, I won't sing the song), and 2) I've had all my letters from PhD places, and they were all "thanks but no." So there's a little bit of ongoing grief over that, but life goes ( Read more... )

So I know it's Cracked and everything, but this article pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with MMOs, which makes WoW the single biggest offender. As a Blizzard fan (okay stan - don't start me on Diablo 3) in every other situation, I really can't justify or support the kind of soul- and mind-destroying tactics that Blizzard and other ( Read more... )

Ugh so I've been super exciting recently, obviously. Let's see - I've managed not to go to the gym at all pretty much since I last mentioned it (I'm awesome), I'm over budget again (already) this month, I've managed to find presents I hope my sister will like for her graduation (but who knows anymore what she likes?), and have been generally ( Read more... )
