So I'm not sure why the gods conspired against me, but they did. More importantly though, they forgot to inform me that they were conspiring against me. No memo, no fax, not even an email. I suppose though to be fair, I didn't pray to any of them either....so maybe i just missed it, or perhaps that was who the unknown number on my phone came from, ( Read more... )

So had another awesome research day. Spent a little over 2 hours typing out the introductory 4 minutes of my presentation that I have to give on Friday. Apparently the mid-seventeenth century England is like your grandmother's kitchen...intrigued then you just might have to come see my presentation on Friday.

Totally had a geeky moment today. I ( Read more... )

A moment of silence for Gordon the cord on ( Read more... )

Ok, here's the post I promised. Beds are wonderful. Man's greatest invention was to get up off the floor and use things like blankets to stay warm on a mattress of softness. Not only serving a utilitarian purpose beds also can tell you a lot about a person ( Read more... )

So the magic number this morning was 8.4. A little high but quite frankly I still have things in my apartment that contain sugar in them. And to be perfectly honest, with all the starving kids in the world, I decided I had better eat them in decreased amounts rather then throwing them out. Or so I claim, I might of just been really hungry from my ( Read more... )

Kenny Rogers once wrote the song "The Gambler" or at least he is attributed with writing it, though someone else might have.
