Sweet dreams are made of this
I GOT A JOB! I've been applying for various part-time retail things, and a friend of mine showed me an ad for somebody with an undergrad degree, preferably in math or computer science, with two years of programming experience preferred, including class projects. The job was a research assistant at Duke for one year, paying 34,000, with health ( Read more... ) -
Iron Kissed
OK, I'm going to change up the format this time; it makes no sense to have a setting section for a series that I've already commented on the setting of, for example ( Read more... ) -
All things are better when shared
It's only been a couple of days since I last posted, but MAN has a lot happened. I'll hit the highlights-elaboration upon request. I'm having trouble thinking right now, my head is still spinning.
We drove out of Lafayette and to Mount Shasta, where we camped for the night. On a walk around before dinner we found an entire meadow full of pitcher ( Read more... ) -
Blood Bound
First thoughts: Sweet, the series didn't start with its best book. I hate it when that happens. The focus on the vampires is interesting; the love triangle is threatening to spiral out of control, although my money is on her ending up with Adam. Possibly (hopefully) with some experimental D/s thrown in; that would be hot ( Read more... ) -
The Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day
OK, I might have been exaggerating slightly with the post title, but not by much. Yesterday sucked ( Read more... ) -
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
In just over eight hours, my family is flying to the west coast for a two week family vacation. Given that I've been going to bed between three and four in the morning and waking up after noon, this is going to be interesting. We get to go see my aunt and uncle with the cousin who just graduated from high school. If we're really lucky, we also ( Read more... ) -
Moon Called
Periodically throughout the summer, since I actually have time to read, I'll be posting my thoughts on what I read in the form of book reviews here. Any book review post will have the tag for it, and the same title as the book. Other stuff that's happening with me will go in another entry. Usually, I'll just jump right into it. However, since ( Read more... ) -
The good, the bad and the ugly
The good: I've had a large amount of time to spend doing not much recently, which means I've been doing the obscenely complicated character generation for Ars Magica (Jason, what are you thinking?) I've also read more in the past week (for fun) than I have in the previous...two months? I finished both Chalice and Moon Called. I'll tell you what ( Read more... ) -
Schrodinger's car
Yesterday I lost almost an entire day to playing a new MMORPG called ACE online. While this is fairly standard for me, it's also depressing how easily I get addicted to things like this. I also managed to get a few things done; my snazzy new computer is on the way, which is nice, and I put in a complaint with the people who make Titan about the ( Read more... ) -
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
I think I'm enjoying the ability to sleep as late as I want and play games as much as I want a little too much. The past few days have been almost nothing but gaming. I also broke down and bought a copy of Titan today, which is as awesome as I remembered, but more than I really wanted to pay. I really need to find a job ASAP ( Read more... )
