On Saturday, Grant and I went to the local pet shelter and adopted a couple new family members. Meet Olive and Morgana:
They’re still a little skittish, so grabbing a good picture of them was hard. And, as a footnote, Olive doesn’t have red eyes - it’s just a reflection/distortion.
We originally went “just to look” […]
I really love Mint.com for putting my entire financial picture in one place for easy, comprehensive access.
I really hate Mint.com for telling me my net worth is -$XX,XXX. It’s depressing to actually know the figure.
Photos from Ren Faire are UP. Check them out, some fun shots.
Or, as Jessi would put it, “Not Dead.”
We’re going to give this whole update-your-blog thing a try once more. It was all well and good when I was living alone in Virginia with no social life and a powerful desire/need to procrastinate on my research, but then I came home and had real people to […]
This time, going back to school was not nearly as upsetting as it usually is. Maybe I’m getting used to it, maybe it’s because I know that there are just a few weeks left. Still, I was thinking about why home is cooler than here, aside from the big things like Grant, friends and family. […]
Or rather, study.
I don’t know why, but something unfair has happened. When I was in college I could stay up all night long relatively easily. All it took was a hard chair, a cup of coffee around 11, and another around 3 or 4 a.m. Last-minute deadlines and multiple simultaneous projects were no problem because […]

Wednesday
Grant’s flight got in around 5 p.m. I picked him up at the […]
I’ve been daydreaming a lot lately about places I’d like to vacation, visit, see, etc. So I figured I’d commit the ideas to paper (er, keyboard) to make them official. These are not in any order.
1. Seattle; Many people have said I would love Seattle - that it’s my kind of city. I […]
I’m totally jazzed. On Saturday, I will be HOME in Chicago, seein’ all the peeps, playin’ all the games, eatin’ all the turkey…Man, I’m excited. I want to have as much free time to do those things as possible, though, so that means being productive these next few days. Today, I have work at the […]
I love shopping, but more than just shopping, I love shopping cheap. And I’m good at it. As far as groceries are concerned, I have a knack for walking into the supermarket with a top amount I’m willing to spend and staying at or below that amount. Maybe its all those years of watching The […]
