As I woke up this morning on the flaming wreckage of space station MIR, I knew I had only one chance at survival; activate the experimental warp drive, before the cloned dodo swarms could escape ( Read more... )

Late merry Christmas and a happy new year, everybody ( Read more... )

If you're going to make your students write a ten to fifteen page paper, you should at the very least give them a prompt. Or a topic. Or a source. Or tell them what text to use, or something. I mean, come on, throw me a bone here.

Sooo I'm back from Kalamazoo. Two big pieces of news: first, Ryan has somehow managed to become an ever bigger dork than me. Also, Kerrigan (Ryan's girlfriend) is pregnant, and I'm going to be an uncle!

My immune system has really been dropping the ball lately. I've basically been sick for the entire month of October, and a decent chunk of September, as well. I right now have the head-cold to end all head-colds. It's like if Godzilla was a head-cold. You may think I'm being melodramatic, but this is way worse than the sore throat/flu thing I had ( Read more... )

Okay... I spoke way too fucking soon about the air conditioning/"the LB is much more comfortable than I remember it" thing. They arbitrarily shut off the air conditioning and turned on the heat around Thursday or Friday (I forget what day, exactly). Since I'm on the 9th Floor, and since it has been fairly humid in Boston lately, it's positively ( Read more... )
