So, it's cold out on the picket line. Not as cold as it could (will) be, but still cold. I'm alright for now, layers, oh the joy of layers, but I kind of feel like everything is on hold while I picket. I haven't been getting as much dissertation work done in these last couple of weeks (it's been two weeks already) mostly because I've been too ( Read more... )

So, I am currently on strike from my job in Inter-Library loans. This means I get to picket 4 hours a day (from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.). Picketing consists of walking back and forth infront of the University and believe you me, I could tell that my body is not used to walking for 4 hours a day, especially early in the November morning. Thank goodness ( Read more... )

So Lacey told me to post my news. Last week (Thursday Oct 4, I guess) I handed over a copy of Chapter 2 to my supervisor. It felt fantastic. It basically means I am halfway done the body of my dissertation, although I'll have to do revisions and an introduction and a conclusion and it will be time consuming it seems so doable now unlike the last ( Read more... )

So Lacey sent me a lovely card and following her previous porny food postcard theme (I had no idea a picture of a clove of garlic could be so smutty) I got a card of an onion that would be blurred out if it were on daytime television (or really anytime). Is it wrong that I was so impressed with the porn aspect of my postcard?

So I had a meeting with my new supervisor today and I love her, I love her with all my heart. She actually has strategies to help me get to work, we are meeting every 2 weeks, I can bring her pages without them being a finished draft, and she thinks my first chapter is good, but needs only a little bit more work. I am happy, happy, happy and ( Read more... )

So I was nudged by Lacey McBain and decided to post about my favorite reality show, I love, love, love Last Comic Standing mostly because I would love to try out for Last Comic Standing, because I spend some of my time making up comedy routines, although most of them have to do with my idiot brother in law (know for the rest of the entry as IBiL) ( Read more... )

So, my mom is hilarious. Something you need to understand, my mother is 10 months older than my father, she's a February birthday, he's a December birthday, so they are born in the same year, just opposite ends of it. Anyway, next year she is supposed to turn 50 (she just had her 49th birthday at the beginning of February) and our phone ( Read more... )

So not that long ago, LaceyMcBain gave Mr. O a pocket ninja and he loves that tiny little felt toy and has been creating Pocket Ninja Theatre using the security cameras at his hotel. Aparently the pocket ninja solves crimes by coming around corners and flying through the air.
