Once again:

MICHAELMAS!

I let this journal slide in 2012-13. Partially, this was due to the unwieldy lack of integration between the new, now-awful Scrapbook that LiveJournal gave us. (The temptation to ascribe what seems to be the awful business sense of LiveJournal these days to Russian experience is hard to resist ( Read more... )

The journal has been kind of on the backburner. Part of this has to do with LiveJournal itself, as the company has gone considerably out of its way to make its product so much less user-friendly through 2012, particularly in destroying the usability of the photo album/Scrapbook. Well done. I'm also living close to family nowadays, and that has ( Read more... )

Up late designing my second exam for my Catholicism class, after spending yesterday working on this afternoon's second exam for the Jesus course. Initial feedback from a few of those students is that it was a fair and reasonable exam: something I'm always a bit worried about on my first time out in a course, especially in courses like these that ( Read more... )

I am reminded by vesta_venus of the Year In Review meme:Here's how it works: Go into your LJ calendar for this year. Find the first (public) entry for each month, and copy the first sentence of each of those entries into this post. That's your year.

Hey all!

The opportunity to buy a permanent ( Read more... )

Kind of a crummy-feeling day, with a cold coming to visit or somesuch. Felt like a wrung-out washcloth all day ( Read more... )

It's a bold orange sunrise this morning over Lake Michigan. The clouds are spaced out and built up just enough to look like an armada of tall ships sailing across the sky. It was all striking enough to make me freeze as I walked past the windows to the kitchen to pour a drink. Finished up the Küng tonight and put it to bed, leaving me only the ( Read more... )

Here's a tiny bit of LiveJournal fright: I see that three of my userpics now feature pictures other than the one's I uploaded, and that a number of others of mine have the images switched to those of other names. Instead of my picture I labled "Conversation," of me with wry expression in conversation after a Nashville recording session, I have a ( Read more... )

I find that I'm dragging my feet right now regarding journaling for the last week. It would be overstating and melodramatic to say that I was emotionally exhausted, but it was good to spend the day by myself today. Yesterday featured me sleeping in late as sort of a catch-up from the previous day's travel and my late-night, zone-out viewings of ( Read more... )
