My computer is dying, but I bought a shiny green dell inspiron to replace it. I'm too lazy to look up a link to a picture of one, but it's one of the new colored ones. I won't have it until august, however ( Read more... )

Tonight I am participating in this special event, although sadly sans costume. You can't stop the signal, bitch!

( blah, blah, blah, Harry Potter blah blah. )

Life a bit hectic. Ever since I got back from Boston, I'm constantly forgetting what the date is. And I mean, not just "oh, is it the 22 or 23rd?" but more like "I literally have no idea if today is closer to the 10 or the 25th. And is it March, April, or May we're talking about here?" I can't exactly explain my cognitive confusion, but it might ( Read more... )

So I, um, deposited my masters thesis today.

All that means is that I paid the University of Illinois 20 bucks to put my thesis in a filing cabinet. But it also means they'll give me a Master's Degree in Psychology in May.

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes! It's been a nutty few weeks for me, so I've been largely out of touch with non-work related digital media and communications.

Sure, it's a decent amount of snow, but it's nothing I didn't walk through EVERY GOD DAMN DAY FOR 4 MONTHS when I was at Hamilton. I am not at all exaggerating, there is no way schools in NY would cancel classes for this kind of "blizzard." It's not ( Read more... )

I had to send my compy away with the big bad best buy warranty fairy today. It's because part of the power adapter snapped off, and now it won't accept a charge or recognize that it's plugged in to the wall. When I asked how long it would take to get it back, they said "We have to tell you 2-6 weeks, but it will probably be a week and a half." I ( Read more... )

Second and third graders are among the dirtiest, most germ-infested creatures on the planet. So, of course, after spending three weeks straight asking them about their feelings, I've contracted a nasty virus less than two days before the most important presentation I've given since I've been in grad school ( Read more... )
