Whoops, two months without an entry.

In March, I:
-participated in Grad Recruiting Weekend
-wore a necktie every day for a week or so
-drove to & from the airport a lot
-saw Watchmen
-saw Benjamin Button
-went to Ithaca, then Corning ( Read more... )

My new driver's license came after not much waiting. Now I need to fill out paperwork to officially be on the organ donor registry! I went to Ithaca for NELS, saw a couple good talks, one or two thought-provoking posters. Met very few new people. Oops. Ate a lot of free kielbasa, compared to a normal weekend. The Johnson Museum (free!) has a really ( Read more... )

I saw Chris Trapper at the Lilac Festival last Friday. I took one picture of the crowd and one of the stage, then just sat back and enjoyed the music. And a PB&J. Some of you will recall that I saw Trapper perform a few months back in a very different setting. I think I preferred the Water Street show's feel, but the setlist of the Lilac Festival.

I have finally placed in the recycling bin the contents of binders from the following classes:

• Minds, Brains & Computers, Fall 2001


• Classical Arabic Texts, Intersession 2002


• Syntax I, Spring 2002


• Intro to Natural Language Semantics, Fall 2002


• Language and Thought, Fall 2002

Like:Ben & Jerry ( Read more... )

I get excited when: I see a newspaper in the men's room ( Read more... )

1. lizzybeth529 and I just stumbled upon my real backup plan. It's not to own a leftist patisserie. It's to have a talk show a la Jimmy Kimmel, who has oodles of "friends" (childhood and celeb, I suppose - never watched JKL much) to come on & hang out & be on TV. Doesn't that sound like fun? Oh, me. I remember looking forward to college and thinking of all ( Read more... )

I just noticed that my iTunes library is just over 15 days, by 34 minutes & 47 seconds. And at 4999 songs. What's daunting is how much of my CD collection I haven't ripped. I should really look into an external hard drive, some time after all the other necessary organizational things ( Read more... )

Ever have one of those days where it's just a series of odd things that all turn out fairly well, even though they didn't have to? Why, yes, I just did. ( Now I will tell you about it. )

The bones:
All this started for kaitl, whom I don't even know! Ah, strangers on the Internet, exchanging information. It was based on a discussion over in comments at jisalynn's entry from a few days ago. But this was far too big to post over there, and I also want it publicly archived in my journal. It's highly reminiscent of my "things to take to college" ( Read more... )
