Having to walk/MARTA exclusively for the past week or so has turned me into a Sherpa. Before I walk out of the house every morning, I have to anticipate everything that I might need throughout the day (jacket, food, checkbook, trail rations, whatever) and cram it into my backpack. Although I'm really good at forgetting the small things, and for the ( Read more... )

The OKCupid foray that I mentioned last week has led to five dates with five different guys, all of which ended in one or two dinner dates before I said "I don't see this going anywhere romantically." No kisses, no holding hands. Just Chinese food and some pretty routine disappointment. But the upside is that I'm learning a whole lot about the ( Read more... )

You got the motorcycle driver's license class MC permit!

You can now drive a motorcycle during daylight hours without a passenger!

For what might actually be the 100th time, someone in my class asked "...but what is art?" and thought they were breaking new ground.

When I graduate from this place, I'm going to scrub the academia from my mind so thoroughly that my brain stem will bleed.

I recently rejoined OkCupid this week out of a mix of frustration and boredom, only to be quickly reminded of why I left in the first place. Most of the site is this horrible mish-mash of desperate people and bad photography, punctuated by a few sane folks who never seem to be interested in me. Nothing good has ever come from that site, so why did ( Read more... )

The new job is turning out to be pretty great. My coworkers are great (and include mad_piper and sabrina_pandora), my responsibilities are within my ability, and there's free beer on Fridays. They even paid for my MARTA pass. What's not to love ( Read more... )
