To be honest I don’t remember much from Saturday. I hung out in the game room playing Rock Band. I hung out with Hae Eun at the Planet Tokki booth. Strange to say for an annual four-day event I’ve only attended twice but it was same ol’, same ol’. {Mid-Missouri… Read more“Tales from Comic-Con, Day 3 (Saturday): Wait”

Mission Accomplished
Yesterday was my last day of work at the Assessment Resource Center. I’ve been there since March (a fact which shocked me when one of the higher-ups mentioned it). I can rest easy knowing that I’ve graded thousands of exams and my part in all of the projects I’ve been… Read more“Mission Accomplished”
Hero in A Half Shell
One morning started off ahead of schedule (point A on the map). I needed to go to the supermarket (B) to pick up a lunch for work so I woke up early. Maybe too early. I was half an hour early as I left Gerbes with a sandwich from the… Read more“Hero in A Half Shell”
I can’t sleep right now because earlier today I made a kinda-important scientific discovery and now the race is on to get it published. Does that make me a geek?
Urbana-Champaign and Back Again
Two weeks ago Anna had her graduation party in Urbana-Champaign. Just three short years ago she started at the University of Illinois‘s law school and soon she’ll be on the gilded road to endless riches. I’m clearly on the wrong career path. Anyway, I had a mini solo roadtrip adventure… Read more“Urbana-Champaign and Back Again”
Spring Cleaning Around the Home(page)
One of this weekend’s goals was to clean up around the house. I vacuumed the downstairs area and wiped down the fixtures in my bathroom but then I got distracted and started working on my website. It’s tangentially related I guess. I fixed some of the alignments so things look… Read more“Spring Cleaning Around the Home(page)”
Declassified Story from Work and Other Notes
I was in the breakroom and saw that someone had left some Diet Pepsis up for grabs. I desperately needed the caffeine so I took one. It tasted awful! Thinking quick, I grabbed a packet of sugar from the coffee bar and poured its contents into my soda. “Success!” I… Read more“Declassified Story from Work and Other Notes”
I Can Haz Productive Role in Society?
It’s now confirmed that I won’t be going to Peru this summer. It looks really good for next summer though; the universities involved seem enthused but we just couldn’t get the logistics set in stone in time. In the meantime I evaluated what I was doing day to day. The… Read more“I Can Haz Productive Role in Society?”
I Built Myself a Castle on the Beach/ Watching as It Slid into the Sea
It looks like Perú plans are a no-go this summer. Things just didn’t workout between my collaborators and I and our respective universities. We’ll try to get all of the pieces in place by next summer, but for now all dissertation plans are delayed a year. Suddenly, I don’t feel… Read more“I Built Myself a Castle on the Beach/ Watching as It Slid into the Sea”
All of a Sudden, Doves
A few weeks ago I noticed that stuff on our front porch had an inordinately high amount of poo on it. I didn’t think much of it because, as they say, poo occurs. One morning I looked out the front door and saw doves. Lots of doves: They’re attracted to… Read more“All of a Sudden, Doves”
