It's late-late here. I'm fried from the pre-finals rush, missing my hard-at-work-in-SF boy, wondering why I'm not asleep when I have to be up in a few hours to meet my research group, but ( Read more... )

Here, for your uplifting viewing pleasure, is a follow-up to the original "The World is Just Awesome" video from the Discovery Channel. It is very *nearly* as full of hee as the first:

WHYWHYWHY do Neko Case and Amanda Palmer have to be playing Northampton the very same night? Mere blocks away from each other? I'm in agony, I tell you. (Normally it would be a non-issue, since I'm broke, but Schuyler very thoughtfully and generously offered to buy me tickets to the show of my choice. So sweet, so maddening ( Read more... )

Hah, it's always funny to me how immediate the rewards are when you finally let whatever the most recent lesson Life was trying to teach you sink through your (my) thick skull. Or, as I put it to my favorite ziptie, "The reward for being open to abundance is abundance."

You know what? I've been much too stressed, and it really isn't fun. My spirit has put on way too much weight.

Bliss Soaps needs help

Many of you may have seen this already, and I apologize, but I want to help spread the word. I was a *massive* consumer of Bliss products when I was local, and I miss them like mad. They're run by an adorable couple who will bend over backwards for their customers, they happily mix custom scents, their products are fantastic, and seriously OMG ( Read more... )

Many things have taken an upward swing since last I posted, and I now have at least the shell of a ghost of a plan. I've thrown myself on the mercy of my academic support group and done some job-scouring, gotten myself to the doctor, etc., and here's how stuff stands right now ( Read more... )

Finally got my FA check today. A moment of relief, which quickly turned into panic when I did the math. Once I pay off personal debts, I'll have just under $1000 to live on until March. That's without taking into account needing to get my car legal before it lands me in jail, or filling the oil tank here at the house, or having a surgery ( Read more... )

Oh, god.

So. Much. HOMEWORK. *dies*

The scary thing is that workload-wise, it all goes downhill from here to December. Forecasting severe hermit-mode with very intermittent bright spots of fun for the next 3 month.
