“I think maybe there’s something wrong with Sheppard.”
The fact that he had implicated Colonel Sheppard rather than himself and the deadly serious, ‘the Wraith could attack at any moment’ tone that made Dr. Keller look up from her research and stare at Dr. McKay.
“And what would suggest that, Rodney,” she ( Read more... ) -
Let's see how long this lasts
About a month ago, I cancelled my cable TV service - I had only basic cable and I really don't watch that much TV (more and more I'm watching off the web). I was still getting a TV signal and I figured since I had high speed internet, the company couldn't separate the signal - until tonight. My TV is old, so I'd need a converter box to pick up ( Read more... ) -

Ponderings
Well, I'm waiting around to see if any of my students show for office hours. I handed back their lab reports last week and there was lots of grumbling, partly at the low grades (I actually was pretty generous) and the prof's announcement about their second test scores. Some of them did horribly on the second exam - below 50%. I have a couple ( Read more... ) -

Ugh, property taxes!
Just got my lovely property tax statement. I thought taxes might actually go down this year since my assessment was so much lower. Right. That and the fact that our lovely governor vetoed repealing a property tax increase means I'm paying an extra $100 this year. My only consolation is that I don't have my property taxes escrowed and I can ( Read more... ) -
Back in the swing of things
Well, the week's almost over and I've survived the first week of classes (not that it really matters as a grad student). Time to really get to work on the research - my advisor is thinking it will take at least another year or two on top of what I've planned to finish. Part of me is pissed (both at myself and at him because I hate being a broke ( Read more... ) -
The re-fi was worth it...
Ok, so refinancing my townhouse took forever and I was not that thrilled with how my new lender handled a few things, but the news this week made me glad I had refinanced. Apparently my old mortgage company is no longer in business - they got raided this week by the FBI and were suspended by FHA, which prety much meant the needed to shut their ( Read more... ) -

Cleaning and organizing...
Maybe it's the open houses with the staged homes I've been through, maybe it's watching 'House Hunters' and shaking my head at the room people think they need, or maybe it's just procrastination and stress relief, but I'm spending the long weekend cleaning and organizing ( Read more... )
