I said yes, by the way.

I’ve been struggling with how to word this for a week now. I wanted a chance to tell a few family members and have some time, honestly, for everything to sink in. Given that a blog is such an inherently informal medium, though, and this news feels way more important than anything I’ve ever blogged …

wow

It’s not often that I’m genuinely surprised — and even less often that I’m genuinely surprised and *LIKE* it. 😉 But last night I was totally taken off guard by something I was not expecting, and it was wonderful. I’ll tell you all soon, promise. My parents and grandma will be here tomorrow night…! I …

hurdle #1: clearing today

It’s almost done. I’ve just completed the final edits on my first major political science paper of the semester… I turn it in at 9:15 a.m. today. It’s 7:30 a.m. now. But I would just like to say, in my own defense, that I finished writing this blasted paper last night before midnight. I got …

yay Lisa!

Just found out today (thank you Google alerts) that Lisa Loeb has signed a contract with E! to film a TV series about her dating life. It will air in January. (Note: this link will tell you a little bit more, but it’ll also start playing music)

could it be?

Liz Norell has *NOTHING* of interest to say? ‘Fraid so, kids. Unless you really want to hear about papers, exams, impossible homework assignments, and home improvements. (Didn’t think so.) Well, here’s the extent of what I have to say… My parents are coming for Thanksgiving. This will be their first visit to yours truly in …

getting ready

I’d call most of the last week or two a period of “getting ready”… for various things. Daniel and I had a housewarming/birthday/late-Halloween party Saturday night with a few good friends, and while we nearly killed one another (and ourselves) for planning a party one week after moving into the house, in the end it …

What’s this?

Zogby apparently did a poll gauging Americans’ preference between Matt Santos and Arnie Vinnick. As in, the two presidential candidates on NBC’s The West Wing show. As if having those two participating in a live debate Sunday night isn’t confusing enough for the sheep in our country. Don’t get me wrong — I don’t think …

problem, and remedy.

I was having a perfectly fine day at work today — I took my student assistant to lunch for fajitas and a little heart-to-heart vis-a-vis the whole subject of the future. I actually managed to get quite a bit done (and, more importantly, actually worked an ENTIRE day, shock shock). Then, about a quarter to …

horoscope yesterday

I get a good chuckle out of the Quick DFW horoscope. Like yesterday’s: Today is a 4 There’s plenty of work for you. Too much, even. It isn’t fair, but that’s just life. Keep checking things off your list. I guess it’s inevitable that others at TWU will find this out soon enough,… so I …
