Was in New York City all last week, and there's no way to say how amazing it was. I went with a friend from college, and we went to a ton of cool places, met a lot of really neat people, saw interesting things--it was just awesome. After a few days, it kind of felt like we lived there. We walked most places and became very familiar with the subway ( Read more... )

Going to NYC tomorrow. Hooray! Man, do I need a vacation. The only problem is I think I'm getting a cold. Noooooooooooo. I haven't been sick in almost two years, and now is when I get a cold. Bah ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving is this week, which means deadlines are crazy at work, and there's a ton of stuff to square away in order to take off Thursday and Friday. And I'm going to New York next week, which means there's a ton more stuff to square away. Mental note: It's a really dumb idea to take time off the week after a major holiday. And that's not to ( Read more... )

So now they're saying Jim Webb won the election. I don't think anyone I've ever voted for has won, so this is refreshing. I just hope it holds. I'm totally sick about the "marriage amendment" passing, but really not surprised. But that was tempered a little bit with Rumsfeld's resignation today. It's a mad, mad world ( Read more... )

It's been a red-letter evening, I would say. First, one of my co-workers and I bought $35 worth of Halloween candy for this story we're doing for the Food section. I put some laundry in when I got home, and not only did I determine the source of the leak in my washing machine, but I determined that I can fix it with duct tape! Any opportunity to ( Read more... )

1. Take GRE
2. Try to make old professors remember who I am
3. Craft winning personal statement
4. Request transcripts
5. Quit job
6. Not be shafted

Also, my heart hurts. Literally. It hasn't been bothering me lately, but it started again. Perhaps this is something I should get checked out.

I would just like to say that I was on fire today in terms of having good ideas and making things happen. And I didn't have to bring any work home, which is rare for a Tuesday. Everything is coming up Emily.

I was walking home from work today when I passed Jenny McGee eating outside Castiglia's. We had ninth grade P.E. together, and we bump into each other now and then, which is always cool. I stopped to talk to her for a few minutes, and as I was walking away, she screamed out, "Are you going to our 10-year reunion?" I was like, "It's in two years, ( Read more... )

The season premiere of "Gilmore Girls" was on tonight, and while it's always a good thing to see a new episode, I'm not sure I can handle the jackassery that the writers seem to have set up. The jackassery mainly stems from the fact that Lorelai is being a total jerk to Luke and Christopher, and neither of them deserves it. Luke was a jerk last ( Read more... )

Hahahahahaha, that's a giant lie. I know everyone already knows how much the DMV sucks and how you always have to wait a long time, etc., etc., but it still sucks to live through it ( Read more... )
