Feelings, folks, I have them.

According to my gmail, it has been a month and 4 days since I started volunteering at the OTW. I have 234 OTW-related emails in that mailbox.

This is...practically nothing. My team is full of smart, delightful, wonderful people who are willing to mentor and protect newbies. They've been unfailing careful about gently ( Read more... )

Re: my dissertation

1. Wrote 500 1200 words. Hey, it totally counts.
2. Drew a picture with all the shit I need to connect together in a linear form, and tried to connect them with arrows. It basically looks like an asterisk. An asterisk with cock-sucking in the middle of it.
3. Decided (along with a friend) to make soundtracks for our dissertations ( Read more... )

Okay, so, y'all might have heard about that delicious thing? I've been popping in and out of the googledoc anat set up all day today. I first logged in around 11am my time.

See that little puppy in the icon? That is my puppy. She's a bit bigger now, since she's five and that was at five months, but still - that's my baby (okay, by "a bit" I mean about 70lbs heavier). We just got back from the vet. Again. And the news isn't good. Puppy's knee is basically shot. At five.

At five. She's been on steroids and moderate doses ( Read more... )

1. I am getting a kitten OMG!! I went down to the shelter and picked one out today. As soon as he gets his wee little balls snipped off, he's coming home!!!! Just three months old and a bouncy little guy. I went with a baby this time in hopes that my gsd will go into baby mode instead of "delicious, delicious snack!" mode. *fingers crossed*

Because I am...special, I decided to start Dragon Age during end of term. Serious stress requires serious distraction. So far, my impressions are:

• Really, Bioware? My voice gets to be either sultry or wise? Wise sounds like Gandalf and sultry sounds like a stripper. yeesh.

So, one of my goals for this year is to cook more. I'm not much of a cook. I'm a fairly picky eater, my parents don't cook much (although my mom, bless her heart, made some frighteningly memorable dishes. I tell those stories at parties), and that whole grad school thing means it is really easy to let my husband do most of the cooking. He likes, ( Read more... )
