I went for a 14 mile bike ride this morning. I rode out to the county park, did the entire bike trail, pouted when I realized I was tired and 7 miles from home... and then biked back. It was only really bad for the last 2 miles or so. Of course, my knees are making me pay for it now... But thanks to the makers of Aleve, I'll be able to sleep ( Read more... )

I applied for a couple of research jobs at ETS over the weekend and I already got the rejection e-mail from them today. Amazingly quick turnaound. I didn't expect to get the jobs, being without educational research experience, but it would have been nice to work in Princeton. Whatever. I'm still not too stressed over not having a job yet. But it ( Read more... )

Somewhere between Fresno and here, my gameboy zipped itself out of its case, and went to see its friend, the power cord. Or, perhaps, the power cord was the instigator. Well, whichever one started it, they were in it together. They zipped the case back up, got the tape off the outside of the outside of my plastic bins, opened it up, jumped out, ( Read more... )

Yesterday I spent about 7 hours helping some friends move into their new house. I already feel sore, and I haven't even gotten out of bed yet. I'm putting it off as long as possible.

It didn't seem too strenuous at the time... I unpacked the kitchen stuff, loaded the equivalent of one car, unloaded the same, and sat around watching while four guys ( Read more... )

It's nice not having a job when there's 10+ hours of Wimbledon coverage every day.

But... I suppose making money would be nice too. :-P

 The movers are showing up with my stuff today! While I'm excited, because, yay, I'm almost done with the movers, it's sad because it's just going to be living in the garage for a while.

I applied for a job with the dept. of justice today. It took 2 freaking hours to fill out the application. What'll really make me mad is when they decide I wasn't ( Read more... )

 I'm an idiot. I just realized that I packed both the computer cable and the ac adapter for my pda. And... I didn't write down which box (or boxes). Guess I won't be using it for a while.

So I took

Home is good so far. Today I went to lunch with my mother, grandmother, and one of my mom's friends. We went to a tea room in Allentown. It was nice, but left something to be desired. Namely, timeliness. We got there around noon, and there was only one other group there. The server brought our teapots, but then not cups and saucers. Our lunch of ( Read more... )

The last day was again uneventful, although we did hit some rain in Virginia and West Virginia. And an accident coming into Trenton. But whatever! I'm home! And back to the job search I go...

We're in like the Hilton of Best Westerns. There's even a little rubber duckie sitting on the edge of the tub ( Read more... )
