University of Rochester - Graduate Program in Visual and Cultural Studies. 
Things I like about this program:
1. PhD.  If I'm going to put in the effort I might as well go all the way.
2. ALL students are offered research assistantships or TA positions for their first 4 years.  I could live off that money.
3. I've already read some work by some of the ( Read more... )

I hate watching people self-destruct.  My father and one of my best friends are doing their best to take apart everything that's been holding their lives together.  And I know there's nothing I can do but it frustrates me to no end just sitting by and watching ( Read more... )

I drank the last Jones soda left over from when Johnny was home.  It wasgrape, and I don't really like grape flavored things, but they're not too high in calories, have no caffeene and no HFC, so I drank it.  The above is what the inside of the cap said ( Read more... )

I was told, as a child, I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up (except for He Man-mom had a tough time expmaining that one).  When I was a kid, this wasn't true.  When my pre-school went to the hospital for a field trip, I left home in ( Read more... )

At work, writing an e-mail that I'll post later.  My appointment that was supposed to be here at 10 called and said they were on their way. It's almost 11 and they aren't here yet so I'm reluctant to get into any projects that I'll be half way through by the time they show up.  I forgot my lunch today, which is a bummer.  The schedule is absurd the ( Read more... )

I'm taking an hour "lunch" today, because I know it'll be my ass if I end up clocking overtime. With a long lunch today I should only end up with one or two hours overtime.

My mom made lobster for my brother's going away dinner.  My brother hummed Rock Lobster during dinner, then joked about the Family Guy reference.  What episode is on tonight ( Read more... )
