At the almost half point of diss-ember (dissertation December), I present a little list of things:

* The Lowry chapter is a third done and already 40 pages. I knew he'd be heavy but mama mia, there will have to be an epic editing session when this puppy is through. I'm aiming to send the chapter out on January 2nd and then I'll be officially done ( Read more... )

I headed to a free HPX show at school with Cousins, Dog Day, and Forest City Lovers.

For the first year since I got here I am catching next to nothing of the Halifax Pop Explosion and that is making my heart hurt just a little. There's a slim chance that I may go to see Sloan tonight but I saw them put on the exact same show (the full track listing off of Twice Removed) this summer at Sappy Fest. It's okay. It's okay to not go ( Read more... )

On page 6 of 40 for this chapter... and drinking an "evening coffee" for the first time in a long while. Oh man, my life is INTENSE ( Read more... )

I've switched from soy milk to almond milk for most of my milk needs (morning latté, oatmeal, baking) but still buy 1% to put in my tea and therefore have to drink cup after cup as the deadline approaches because for some reason buying the 500 ml terrifies me that I'll run out ( Read more... )

Day 5: A show you hate

Two and a Half Men. My dad is constantly watching this show. It is his new favorite. I don't know... it just seems wrong. This isn't an intense dislike and more of a slow, dull, constant one. That kid is going to have some major, major issues ( Read more... )

Day 2: A show you wish more people were watching

I have been in love with The United States of Tara for a few years now. I started watching it while house/dog sitting for someone with HBO and ended up watching the whole first season with Kim over the span of a few days. So so well acted, I heart Toni Collette so much, and it has an impressive ( Read more... )

I have been very, very remiss in terms of blogging as of late. The good news is that I'm about to start the last chapter of el thesis-erino. The bad news is that I've missed this terribly. So to kick start, here is a 30 day challenge inspired by Saleema. I love my tee-vees. Oh god, I do.

Day 1: A show that never should have been cancelledDay 2: ( Read more... )
