Yesterday, I did two things I’ve been wanting to do for what seems like weeks now: 1) I finished a book that wasn’t assigned for a class. It was Jennifer Weiner‘s latest novel, “Goodnight Nobody” — she’s the author who wrote the novel on which the new movie, “In Her Shoes,” was based. The latest …
on the road again … for the last time. (here)
Well, today I’m in Houston for what will be my last time on the state’s dime. I left Sunday evening so I wouldn’t have to deal with an obscenly early wake-up call again. It’s a relatively quick trip, though; I’ll be home before rush hour tomorrow. My first dispatch from Houston is a total surprise …

This picture is hilarious. And SO my brother.
not much of a yankee
Gary tipped me off to this quiz, which I just took, and which declares I’m 65% southerner, or “Just under the Mason-Dixon Line.” Sounds about right. And as for the spelling test (who could resist?), I only managed an 85%. However, I would just like to say (for the record) that I fundamentally believe the …
back to reality.
Thank goodness for DVD collections. We spent the “snow days” watching season five of The West Wing (one of my favorite TV indulgences), which only just came out on DVD this Tuesday. Talk about great timing! My 36 hours of work reprieve were a fantastic early Christmas present to celebrate the end of school. We …
an (icy) revelation
I may not have fully figured out how to prevent myself from becoming homeless post-working-at-TWU, but I did figure out one thing this morning: Not working in Denton is going to rachet down my stress level about 10 notches. Take today, for example. We all know/knew today was going to bring freezing precipitation to north …
… and I’m spent.
I turned in two papers and a final exam today, thus concluding (on precious little sleep) my first semester in the doc program. PRAISE ALLAH for that. I’m so ready for a very peaceful night’s sleep, and for the tension that’s taken residence in my shoulders, neck and jaw to subside. To celebrate, Daniel and …
“very decent effort”
Yesterday, I went up to campus to drop off my take-home final “exam” for my Saturday class, and to pick up the paper I was slaving over a couple of weeks back. My professor flipped through his stack of papers, found mine, and leafed through the pages before handing it to me with these words: …
I think we found a location…
My parents are currently in Hawaii for a week or so on vacation, and so my Aunt Dalis and my mom have sorta taken the lead in finding a suitable location for Daniel and me to get hitched in May. Yesterday, they went up to this place called Turtle Bay on the North Shore to …
Lucy!
Yesterday, an old friend of mine Laetitia (Lucy) posted a comment on my blog, and following the trail back I just found her blog! It’s all in French, but so cool!http://lucy-s–words.blogspot.com
