So. I have a day off. My first day off since my father's and my own birthday celebration. Which wasn't really a celebration but more of a quite down-time interrupted by kids looking for candy. Today I woke up way earlier than I normally would because mom went in for surgery this morning. I don't know if I wrote about how her knee has been bothering ( Read more... )

Spoke to my mom the other day about the most recent episode of SGA and she said that when McKay had is little breakdown and laid down on the floor it was exactly like my brother. I can remember my brother doing the exact same thing when he couldn't handle a situation. He even once taught his first class (as a graduate student TA in a Lab) from the ( Read more... )

Wow does this xmas kinda suck. ( Cut for a very long summary of the past few days )

I think I'm spending too much time at the student center. One of the younger janitors is trying to ask me out. He's at least 26-28 yrs old, and I just don't know how to say no thanks nicely. All the shuttle bus drivers recognize me, one of them honked at me as he drove by the other day. I was walking back to the dorms instead of riding back. My ( Read more... )

Note, for whoever cares, I am leaving for Milwaukee v. early tomorrow morning and will be back Monday evening sometime ( Read more... )

I am finally back from visiting various places in Wisconsin. Never did get to do any actual sight seeing though. I wanted to visit the art museum in Milwaukee but there was too much to do ( Read more... )

Thursday my roommate Melissa gave her cell number to a said "creepy jimmy john's guy" because he asked her and my other roommate Amy to go to Buffalo Wild Wings where he and his friends were going to sing karaoke after he got off work. Melissa and Amy were watching Silent Hill Saw and Saw II before they ordered Jimmy John's and I guess they just ( Read more... )

I have a crick in my neck, kinda like when you turn your head too quickly and you pull a neck muscle, but in the left upper back of my neck near the base of my skull. I think I got it from the two hour drive back from my grandparents in Iowa yesterday ( Read more... )

Wyatt is a three year old toddler, of some relation to me, who I babysat for about eight hours Thursday. It was a very interesting experience. My mom knew how to talk to him and handle him a whole lot better than I did. But, of course, that is because she is a mom and has had a lot of practice with my brother and myself. He didn't cry, well maybe ( Read more... )

The lightning around here that happens at one in the morning acts very strangely. Its like a malfunctioning strobe light. There is no thunder to accompany it so when it first starts I think that the light is from a car's headlights blinking into my room from the church parking lot across the street. It's odd because there is no rain or sound, just ( Read more... )
