Well, this semester is off to a slow, tired start, no doubt due to caffeine withdrawl. Tomorrow I will bravely combat the demon that is about 100pgs of reading, which is going to be par for the course this semster, it seems. Oh, and I have to remind myself of the difference between qualitative versus quantitative writing so I can plead my case ( Read more... )

Thanks to bec76 for this meme.

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to see a little bit about my ( Read more... )

Well, I stayed home from the museum today, for reasons including weather, a nasty dry eye and contact issue, cramps and, yes, general laziness. Between today and tomorrow, though, I plan on getting some things done ( Read more... )

Most of you have suffered through at least one lengthy conversation about my "wonderous" feline and his fat orange sidekick. You probably are also aware of my theory regarding the Cat Commander and my cat's special mission to "spread the love" by taking on the great enemy of domestic felines everywhere: the damned door. Furthermore, I have ( Read more... )

It's not really much of a break, but I decided that I would take the weekend off from going up to Cleveland. I have been in the office every night since Monday night and tonight I have to leave early (at four) for a Doctor's appointement. I am also going to pick up some kid's books at the resale on the way, to send with Michael when he goes this ( Read more... )

lived me.My pain tolerence is up I guess because I cut my hand some time this morning and did not realize it until I noted there was blood all over one side of the aforementioned hand. Now it's just a tiny red line and damn itchy ( Read more... )

I just had two repairmen/service people over to the house: one for cable (I just got some basic noise-maker stuff hooked up) and another to see why, again, my reader on the water meter was not doing its job ( Read more... )

I officially got two hours of sleep today, but I will hold off going to bed until 10PM, so I can be back on a semi-regular schedule. Strangely, I am no tired now than I normally am. Maybe I just stocked up on sleep last week. I didn't sleep much Friday night at shimmerngspirit's house. That night, I hung out with both celeanous_aerie and the aforementioned shimmerngspirit. Saturday, woke ( Read more... )

So how much do you think that Wife-Swap show will have to pay in therapy and damages in the future? I mean, true, people do enter into this to 1- get on tv, 2- knowing that the other family is very much not like them and 3- see again the part about tv. But what about the little kids, the ones who have to live without their mothers for several ( Read more... )

One big difference I have noticed between grad school and undergrad is my shifting attitude toward journal articles. Used to be such a chore, trudging through countless articles on subject matters I would never touch again, either as part of a paper or as an assigned reading for a class. I also dreaded the inevitable massive charges to my student ( Read more... )
