The ending of a conversation with a graduate student today:
Me: "Well, I'm happy I could corrupt you."
Her: "I'm pretty sure that's what you get paid to do."
Me: "I know! Isn't it fantastic?" -
It's official!
pianodan and I are going to Stockholm, Helsinki, and St. Petersburg in August. We were waffling about whether or not to include all three, but we just found plane tickets that let us fly into Stockholm and then out of Helsinki -- for LESS than flying into and out of one or the other! So plane tickets are bought, and our itinerary is shaping up thusly:

Oooh, thanks a lot, Fifth Third!
The bank that holds my mortgage, Fifth Third, just sent me an offer saying, "Since you're such a good customer, and since you always pay your bills on time, we're going to let you take a month off from your mortgage payment ( Read more... ) -
Overthinking it ...
In the last week or so, I've come up with enough data and research for about three papers. I'm still struggling with some of the questions, but the answers are there in front of me; I just have to figure out what it all means ( Read more... ) -

I came home tonight and heard, once I'd made it in the door and into the kitchen, a high pitched shrill, constant tone. I tracked it through the house (which wasn't easy, given that my head is a bit congested today) and finally realized (after checking all of the smoke detectors) that it was coming from the computer room.

Said nachos consisted of:
Chips
Cheese
Cow ... and on said cow there was chipotle pepper, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, and chili powder.
(Oh, and there were jalapeños. But those don't count.) -
Oh, great.
It's currently 5 degrees outside, and 11:21 pm ... and our heater's broken. -
Sheila!
Because I don't have time to do these during the school year:
Here's how it works:
1. Put your music on shuffle. (Yes, it's one of those)
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!
Let's go, Dopi! It's behind a cut because it's long.

Now that's an idea ...
I've been torn about the whole auto industry bailout thing. On the one hand, I really believe the auto industry doesn't deserve to be bailed out. They've been making bad decisions (and bad cars) for too long despite evidence that they should be doing something different. I don't believe the management of the auto industry can pull its head out of ( Read more... )
