Oh, LJ, how I've missed you...
I'm not entirely sure how I convinced myself it would be a good idea to go back to school for my Ph.D., but it's all kinds of hell at the moment. Virginia is a nice change of pace, though.

And mostly I'm here to bitch about SPN, because I was just re-watching the premiere, and I cannot stand the vet (who I assume is Sam ( Read more... )

I think I remember why I started to hate Bones.

So, I've started watching Bones again. And I'm enjoying it.

I've decided that there are only three possible explanations for this:

1. It's gotten better since season four.
2. Two and a half years has sufficiently separated me from it, and I'm now able to appreciate it for what it is now rather than what it once was.
3. I need to go back to college.

So, I found a job. Just finished my first week yesterday, and I'm about 3 weeks away from finishing my thesis and officially getting my Master's degree. Things are actually going well for once.

With the exception of the whole moving back in with the parents thing. Still not sure how I feel about that whole situation...

Also, Darren Hayes has FINALLY ( Read more... )

My car just died.  Apparently, the transmission pump or some shit is shot.  It's going to set me back about $400 on top of the $500 I already have to pay to get the heat fixed in the stupid thing.

Thank god Supernatural's back next week...

So, everything kind of sucks right now, since I'm broke like you wouldn't believe.  Which is why I haven't been around in months.  Plus, between work, classes, and my thesis project, I just haven't had any free time in which I haven't just passed the fuck out and slept...

But I have two new guinea pigs and a little bit too much downtime right now ( ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if anyone might be interested in this, but the Transformative Works and Cultures online journal just released their Supernatural special issue.  Still haven't had a chance to read any of it, but it looks like there's some interesting stuff there.

It deals more on the academic side of things, so if you're interested in that kind of thing ( Read more... )

So, I'm still trying to figure out how the hell I managed to convince myself that three jobs, two grad courses, and thesis work would be a good plan for this semester...  I'm about ready to have a breakdown...

But on a more positive note, the TWC will be publishing their Supernatural special issue on Monday, March 15th.  Check it out.  I hear there' ( Read more... )

I HAVE A COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally!

It's taken forever, I know, but I just bought a new one two days ago (then spent somewhere around 2 hours on the phone with Time Warner trying to figure out why my internet service wasn't working.  I needed to press the 'internet on/off' button.  The first guy I talked to told me definitely not to do that...  ( Read more... )

So, I thought it was about time I let everyone know what's going on, since I haven't posted in over a month...  The week before finals, my computer completely died.  And since then, I have had very little access to the internet.  Hopefully things will be cleared up soon, and I'll be able to actually spend some time on LJ again...

I miss everybody!!!
