I just woke up, really groggy right now, I don't even really know what day it is. ...IT'S ALMOST 2012?! Snap, I missed my flight to Helsinki by almost three years! I got some explaining to do ( Read more... )

Oh noes it's been another like 6 months (longest idle interval ever? nope, not quite) since I wrote in this - once again, the time has slipped by because I continue to check my friends page almost every day, so it doesn't seem like I've been away from actually writing for such a time.

Don't miss my foregoing General Update post. Originally I was going to write about the float trip there as well, but the float trip section became comparable in size to the rest of the already lengthy post, so I decided to complete it as this separate post.

Dang, I guess it's been since August since I posted, which I keep forgetting because I read my friends page every day and so I keep having the impression that my LJ output must correspond somewhat to the input. It doesn't. Anyway, since amocantare tagged me for a music meme, which I can never resist, I have a good incentive to get back to it ( Read more... )

Well goddang, I'm in grad school now! At least, I have my student ID. I guess I won't consider myself REALLY in grad school until maybe next Wednesday when classes start for real, or maybe sometime between tomorrow and then as orientation proceeds ( Read more... )

I am currently packing up my stuff and cleaning the apartment in preparation for moving out tomorrow. The past few weeks have been busy in all sorts of ways, not the least of which were

1. going to STL and getting an apartment for the fall
2. going to VT for a great reunion that was tough to leave as early as I did
3. hosting a mini-reunion here the same ( Read more... )

Q: What do you do when you melt some old Brie over rice and chickpeas and it starts emitting ammonia?

A: Smother it with chili powder, ketchup, wasabi mayonnaise, paprika, salt, and pepper, and fry it as though you were Lucifer himself and it were a wretched denizen of the inner circle of Hell. Then add more ketchup ( Read more... )
