Ohayocon was as wonderful as I expected it to be.  It had good, fun panels, a great artists' alley, lots of great conversations with some of my favorite people, cosplay dinners and a Pokemon pre-release that was worth all the money I paid and then some.  I got a chance to be artsy and work with clay and fabrics.  I hadn't thought of how much fun I ( Read more... )

I said I wouldn't update until I was back from Ohayocon-but something so big happened, I just had to vent: remember that super awesome job I talked about in my last entry?  Well, guess what:  I got an email today saying that I didn't get it.  This, of course, after my interviewers said I did.  I am absolutely crushed.  It's not that I didn't get ( Read more... )

Still surviving outside of academia.  I left 2 weeks ago and today I got what was my first full-time job offer with CITI.  The job looks interesting, dealing with mortgages and helping people work their way around the housing market in the US.  If nothing else, that will be very useful knowledge to gain.  The pay is decent and the benefits would be ( Read more... )

Yo Dawg, I heard you like updates, so I will update this while I update ( Read more... )

It feels weird...yet so good to be out of school.  I'm still trying to process what I did.  One part of me is relieved by the amount of time that I now have and how I can be honest with the people who made me miserable; the other part of me is scared shitless of not finding a job soon enough.  That fear is slightly assuaged by the fact that I've ( Read more... )

So here's what I played in NM.  I also played Donchamp, but the list needs hella review, so I'm not putting it up for now ( Read more... )

Hey peeps.  Shit went down the drain.  Long story short, I am no longer in grad school. I've decided this is not the place I should be in and that I've chosen to make the difficult decision of moving on; while I will technically be on leave, I find it unlikely for things to change enough to convince me to return at the end of the year. As it stands ( Read more... )

I just had to get a pic of my fursona drinking coffee.  Naked.  Because this is such a big part of my life.

( Don't worry, it's SFW )

I hope you've had a good winter break and a happy new year.  I don't know about you, but I'm still in holiday mode, particularly because Puerto Rican holidays are not officially over until the octavitas on January 8th.  I plan on celebrating el dia de los reyes magos on the 6th and going to Albuquerque for the weekend to the Pokemon City ( Read more... )

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
Got a MA, drove 28 hours to get to AZ and brought a girl home to my mom.

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I kept most.  My plans to go to Japan didn't come to fruition because of the Kanto earthquake.  Maybe next year.

3. Did anyone close to you ( Read more... )
