I don't like going three weeks between updates. I don't even like going over a week. I've been horrible about updating lately. I say this all the time, but I really do just have nothing to say. I'm not doing anything special or interesting or out of the ordinary. I just took a vacation day today so I figured I might as well update.

I think the first ( Read more... )

 I'm once again keeping this entry private, at least for now.* I talk to most people who read this thing about it in person anyway, so I don't know why I don't just publicly write about it, but I don't want to until the entire process is over. Publicizing it scares me right now. hehe.

So yeah, the latest progress on the grad school front.... I ( Read more... )

I haven't written since the World Series... very bad of me. First though, I need to take a moment to laugh at the "writer's block" question prompt that I got when I logged in: "What has been your worst experience with public transit?" ha. Could it be the time I was stranded at Park Street outside in the middle of Boston till 1:00am because the T ( Read more... )

 I honestly feel really guilty as a baseball fan right now. My Red Sox just pulled off another World Series win, when as of college graduation their only World Series appearance in my lifetime happened when I was four, and the result was less than ideal. :P  So now that there's suddenly been two wins in only four years I just feel spoiled and ( Read more... )

This past Wednesday, Brian and I took a day off to bring Connor and Victoria up to visit Holy Cross. Their high school was having one of those days where the underclassmen have testing and the seniors have the day off with the expectation that they'll use it to go visit colleges. And they actually used it to go visit a college. hehe. They came back ( Read more... )

I'm uploading another round of pictures to flickr right now, and the web-uploader is slow, so I thought I'd do some mindless blog fun since my updates have been more rare lately. My work doesn't have tomorrow (Columbus Day) off, but I took a vacation day even though we're getting into the thick of production on our big issue. We will be fine though ( Read more... )

So, I usually don't do non-public entries. The whole point of this blog as opposed to a regular paper journal is that it is supposed to be shared with others, hence the "live" in "livejournal." But I don't have my paper journal with me and I need to get some writing frustrations out. I was really trying not to blog about the latest goings-on in my ( Read more... )

blah. I am not feeling good right now. I felt fine on Friday. Andrew and Jen came over for a pre-Jen's-move overnight visit, and I felt good. I cleaned a bit on Friday after work and then Brian got home and we brought in the groceries he'd bought for the night (including one of those stupid Heineken draught kegs with that stupid robot-girl on the ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to post all my CA pictures to flickr yet because of all the time it takes to tag them. And I haven't wanted to blog about it till the pictures were ready. So in the meantime, here are a couple of random-ass surveys that attempt to be funny, courtesy of alli's myspace [EDIT, 9/17/07, 11:24am: I meant that the survey-writer was ( Read more... )

I've been so bad at updating lately. I feel the odd combination of being too busy but simultaneously not doing anything. :P  Anyway, so this is just a quick update on the state of the CA pictures (because there will be journal entries once enough of them are up). I forget if I mentioned this already, but my first day back, I went through and tagged ( Read more... )
