My neighbors are some of the awesomest people I know; I don't know what I'd do without them ( Read more... )

I've started taking steps to rediscover "single me." I've been watching a lot of Hogan's Heroes, which is both good and bad. Good, because I find them funny and they work well as background noise, but bad because with only five seasons, I'm beginning to get tired of them. It might be time to break out the MASH DVDs. A lot of the later episodes are ( Read more... )

I've got the heat off and the windows open. It's great. Sorry, my east coast friends; I know it's snowing out there. But Fresno just hit its twice-per-year weather enjoyment period. It's getting into the 70s during the day and cooling off into the 50s at night. And, best yet, because we still get the occasional rainstorm, the air is pretty good (by ( Read more... )

It's the waiting game again with the dissertation. I sent it to my chairperson this morning ( Read more... )

I spent a lot of time thinking about Tim today. He told me he didn't think he could date someone who couldn't be friends with him. He said this a few weeks ago, but it's still in my mind. Right now, I still don't know what I want. I know he doesn't want me for a girlfriend. I don't feel it was a very nice thing for him to say, though. I value him ( Read more... )

I didn't work too much on my dissertation today, but I did get some stuff done. I went back to the school to run some more stats... with the amount of gas I've used shuttling myself back and forth, maybe I should have just caved and bought SPSS for myself. I did get some stuff that I used in my discussion, but the stats I went specifically to run ( Read more... )

I still haven't heard back from my advisor. I'll give him through the weekend before I start bothering him, but I did tell him I wanted to be done by the end of March. I don't want him to be the reason I can't meet that goal ( Read more... )

I just finished watching Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, which I started watching yesterday. I've been in love with the movie since watching the 4-hour monstrosity in senior year language arts in high school. It took forever, with our 40 minute periods, but it was worth it ( Read more... )

I spent some time this afternoon with my neighbor, and I had a good time. We just stood around and talked mostly, but she made me feel better. She said a lot of cliches about being strong and moving on and all that jazz, but she meant it. It was nice. She also suggested that I find myself a guy for while I'm still here in Fresno. She was a little ( Read more... )
