man down
our machine cluster is down. What's a girl to do? We've already taught each other all of the cool easter eggs in emacs, I have no new mail to read, and all of my data is on the cluster because I'm dumb and trusting like that. Actually it's pretty interesting to see what people do when they've arrived at work only to find that they can't do any work ( Read more... ) -

holy mother of God I cannot express how happy that makes me. I'm going to be very very good about slowly increasing mileage and speed (hey

the sad, the work, & the worry
for no particular reason, I'm all sad this week. Is worse in the evenings. I'm lonely, for sure, which I think has been intensified by Tristan's visit last weekend. But it feels like more than just loneliness, and it's been a bitch to kick it. Got a little bump up yesterday with a free *bucks frapp, and extended the bump with a beer at the local ( Read more... ) -
failed myself
I just submitted a sub-par paper to a conference. It's not actually my favorite paper I've ever written, and honestly I wish some conference, any conference, would accept it so I could get it off my plate.
but.
I wish I'd given myself more time to work on it. I just barely reached the point where I was able to see exactly how much better the paper ( Read more... ) -

floaty
I spent much of the afternoon feeling super light-headed. We think because I wasn't eating enough -- had a yummy massive $4 bean burrito at the vegan cafe by my apartment for dinner (which was really bad of me because I bought lunch out too, as well as dinner last night...but fixing food fell to the bottom of my priority list), and I felt better ( Read more... ) -
birthday month
happy birthday-month to me.
you'd think I'd stop celebrating birthdays, since I've started lying about my age. but I think I might go back to telling the truth this year. twas really only last year's age that freaked me out... besides which, I'll always be an 8-year-old at heart, and we love birthdays!! -

the worst of me
excuse me while I whine for a minute. I've the feeling that out here, I'm coming off as the worst aspects of myself -- whiny (yes I know, the irony...), bossy, impatient, workaholic.
nobody out here likes me. And I guess I can't really blame 'em. -
welcome to the neighborhood
random comments on my new city. Holy crap taxes suck here!! I swear it's something like 30%. (Okay I could go look that up but I'n lazy.) Which is a nasty, nasty change from Portland's 0% taxes. :( But gas is cheaper! I found a few places where it was under $4! Which doesn't help out carless me a heck of a lot. But still interesting to see. And ( Read more... )
