So I just looked at the little calendar on the side of my journal and had the thought that it looked kind like a graph of a positive correlation. (Seriously, WTF. This is probably something I have not thought about since physics class freshman year.) Apparently it is the positive correlation of time spent in grad school and the likelihood that I ( Read more... )

Today in things that are making me want to stab something:

1. Last November I went to the Doctor and had a physical. Today, I received yet another bill in the mail telling me that my former insurance provider (I've had to switch twice since then) still refuses to pay for all of it. Yes, the American health care system, it is fantastic.
2. Also last fall, ( Read more... )

But good for my health, so I'm trying it out. I went to a friend's birthday party, but resolved not to drink, so I brought myself some diet dark elixir of life. I also resisted the urge to say that, yes, I would go dancing with everyone else at the end of the night and came home instead. As a result, I will probably not spend the weekend being ( Read more... )

So my university almost lost half a billion dollars in state funding for letting students watch porn. For real. I find this both amusing and ridiculous. I also can't believe that the porn version of Pirates of the Caribbean actually has a sequel.

I watched episode 6 and 7 of Dollhouse this week, so I'm finally caught up. ( Spoilery Things )

From today's New York Times:

Orders for "Aretha's Hat" Flood Detroit Milliner

How cool is it that there are still milliners? Few people wear cool hats anymore; I certainly don't have any. There were a couple of old lady's at my church who had Easter hats last year.

Sadly, there was another article about the death of newspapers. If there are no ( Read more... )

I was so tired that I went to bed at 9:30 last night. That just doesn't happen. Ever.

But so now it's 4:30, and I'm awake again. *facepalm* Perhaps Battlestar Galactica is up on Hulu now...

ETA: There are potentially BSG spoilers in the comments now. Consider yourself warned.

arabian tagged me for a meme. I've done this one before, but it had different questions then.

The rules are:

A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question. Who ever does that? Well, I do, for one.

B. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who ( Read more... )

Walk on the left, stand on the right. It's really not that hard, and some of us have a train to catch! I'm not looking forward to January when the city will be swarming with tourists.

On the other hand, all the hotels are booked up and tons of people are advertising Inauguration rentals on craigslist for some pretty exorbitant prices. (Some people ( Read more... )

I'm reading this article for class, and whoever scanned it left these giant black spaces around the edges. Back when I worked in a university library, we had to measure the journal pages and program the size into the copier. If we screwed up and left an 1/8th inch of black space the document delivery people sent the request back with angry ( Read more... )

Last night around 2 am I engaged in epic battle with a bug. The problem was it kept buzzing really loud. Then it landed right near me and turned out to be pretty big. And I could just see it there. Watching me. Being creepy. Waiting for the opportune moment to strike ( Read more... )
