Victory Lap
Done with my reading and transcribing. Me FTW.
And in celebration - a victory lap - and a victory lap ad absurdum (which doesn't use them all, but gets enough to get the point across).
Dear dissertation,
Bite me. -
Late-Night Cravings
Sitting here, as I have been for the past many hours, transcribing notes out of one last book. One on which I took notes over the summer and therefore have completely reread and am now retranscribing. And all I can think about is tempura shrimp sushi. Every aspect of the stuff - taste, smell, feel, heck, sound. A bit less on the sight. I think ( Read more... ) -
Gee... They Know Me!

Long Shot
Anybody know the title of the theme music for the early Wallace and Gromit films? -

If you, ummm, saw my poorly filtered (D'oh! I suck!) post from earlier today and you know the players involved, would you mind just posting a quick comment here so I know how badly I screwed up? I feel pretty bad about it, since it's not my news to tell, even if it's not news that most people deem particularly newsworthy or secret-worthy. Heck, ( Read more... ) -
I think I'm in love.
While I was reffing in Atlanta, I had a moment where Gerrie pointed out to me that the fencer on my left had a non-conforming uniform - the fabric square that had her name was coming off of the back. I was to make it fixed at the one minute break ( Read more... )
