It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity to be looking at the board not looking at the city
Saw a whole bunch of salt trucks parked behind Target on my way home from choir practice, and managed to get out of Montgomery County before the snow started sticking. I count that as a win, considering how long MC appeared to be snowed in last month. Not that I think anybody will be snowed in this time, but it's a matter of principle ( Read more... ) -

My presentation proposal (with my advisor) got accepted for HFES! -
i'm just sitting around being foolish when there is work to be done
Well, we're now a week into the semester. I think I'm already behind, which is traditional, though I have made some progress on the thesis front. Unless anything blows up or I've grossly misunderstood the requirements, I should be getting my Masters in May. Now there's just that pesky PhD to finish ( Read more... ) -
we used to be friends
I know this isn't really worthy of "first post in 2 months," but Veronica Mars Season 3 is up on iTunes.
Just sayin'. -
