In the new National Weather Center, my office is right near the library. One of my favorite things about this is the message board posted at the library entrance. Every week has a different bad pun/joke on it--just the kind of humor that I need to start my day. However, this week's is so bad I just had to share it ( Read more... )

I am facing a serious bout with writers block right now. I am not sure how this is even possible--I have so much to put down on paper (or screen). A freakin' whole dissertation to be exact. The research is mostly done, just the "synthesis" of said research, not so much there. Each time I write a sentence I erase it before I even get to the ( Read more... )

Really, what is less sports related than crochet? (unless you come across something like this). The crochet sites are ( Read more... )

It's been a long time without an update... sorry. I was planning on discussing just how damn painful it is partipate in ultimate-fitness-champ's/psycho-trainer's step class at the gym w/o doing anything for three weeks (as laying under a blanket watching scrubs reruns eating brownies does very little for your endurance), but i came across this ( Read more... )

This has been a very bad weekend, one of the worst i can remember. Its so bad I can't even pick out which part has been the worst: the vomiting for 12 straight hours, being hooked up to an IV for 3+, or the current insomnia/headache one-two punch. I really think this last one is just icing on the cake ( Read more... )
