Graduation is now 90 days away. This past week saw a lot of progress, and one small hitch. Got to see a couple of unpleasant egomanics butt heads in class. Had my second meeting at the Nia Center, and this week I'll be out at Shawnee Academy. MRC training went well Thursday night. Going to start winding the practicum down in a few weeks ( Read more... )

My players got me out of the jam I'd written us into, and we had a good action-packed session Friday night. Got in some space combat for the Ace and enough spotlight time for everyone else. Next up, more Jedi action, introducing an Inquisitor ( Read more... )

Gods, Apple Music is an awful product.

I tested an 11" Macbook Air. The keyboard feels good, but that screen just isn't big enough for me. I tend to have three or four windows open at once, and the small screen didn't feel suited to that. I can make use of the sidebar on the iPad in small doses, and it really is meant to be a limited-use function; I'm just too used to the 13" screen ( Read more... )

Decent enough time at the model train show. Bought a couple of things I shouldn't have, but whatever. I needed the break from studying for biostats. I had nightmares over this exam, and by Monday afternoon, I felt like my mind was full of spiders made of broken glass ( Read more... )

In a month, the semester will be over. I've got a week to finish up my parts of a couple of term papers. Biostats is still the source of all terror. But I think I'm going to be okay ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the last day of classes for the spring semester. I'm still in limbo about the fall - hoping that I'll get to start the MPH, afraid that I'll have to spend another year in the undergrad program ( Read more... )

It's somehow fitting that a town named Liberty, even with a small population, would put on a pretty terrific fireworks show for Independence Day. About a half-hour long, all manner of pyrotechnics. A heck of a lot of fun ( Read more... )

Sometimes it's the littlest things that make me happy. I've been looking at/pricing new monitors for a few weeks. I don't exactly need one, but I just want one. I found plenty in the $100 or so range, which was the price I'd set for such an expenditure. So, last night, after work and some errands, I found myself digging through a closet, looking ( Read more... )

I'm not going to call it a disappointment, because All For One is a darned terrific read. I love the writing, especially the flavor text attached to the character templates. The book left me wanting a little bit more - specifically, how the mid 17th-Century France of the game is different from that of The Three Musketeers (I mean, besides the ( Read more... )
