Since posting those Bonnie Sommervile lyrics below, half of the text on my blog has turned blue. Not sure why. I thus call upon the god-like powers of the Ordonii to help me fix it.

I thought I would be a wreck when I got back to grad school for my second-and-final year. As it stands, I’m actually doing ok. Except for crying the whole drive home from dropping Grant off at the airport, I have really adjusted to being back. I had forgotten the things I liked about Blacksburg, […]
My dear sweet friend and former awesome roommate, Tyler, had this to say in his AIM profile. It struck me as hilarious, so I am reposting here:

I got up to check it out, while Eric went to fetch Carsten, our other roommate. Sure enough, a little brown bat […]
I love Firefly. It may be time to bust out the DVDs again.
So, I’m back in Virginia, back in grad school, back to work. Which probably means I’m back to posting in this blog more frequently; sorry for my absense. Though truthfully, most of the people that read it are the people I was hanging […]
