A few weeks ago, I met with my potential PhD project advisor to discuss possible projects. I left that meeting with one really great lead on a project and with the assignment to do some research. Friday, Dr. Huber and I met again and laid down a time line for my research project. What happened [...]

I am seriously homesick for people. Rob’s sister, Katy, gave me a blank book, my memory book, so that I could have friends and family write notes in it, which I could then read when I got lonely to help me not miss them so much.But it doesn’t work. When I read it, I just [...]

Bad thing first, because I’d rather the last thing you read be something happy. Bad Thing I had a bad headache all night after [Good Thing]. So, right before I went to bed–at 11:00–I took some Excedrin Migraine. We played some Nintendo DS, cuddled for a little bit, and then Rob went to sleep. I [...]

So there I was, just relaxing and catching up on some of my Google Reader feeds, when suddenly I came across this. It isn’t even a very good picture–it’s a bit over-exposed–but my eyes were drawn to those little pumpkins on top of the candy bucket, you know the ones that taste like candy corn. [...]

But we heard Wednesday that the train workers had declared that they would strike Thursday, but thankfully they ended up switching [...]

I’ve started writing a post several times this week, but haven’t gotten very far because I’ve kept falling asleep or I’ll jump up and almost drop my laptop because I realize something I almost forgot to take care of. So what I’m trying to say is that you might not hear from me until we [...]

Three years ago, if you would have told me that I would proudly say the three statements in this post, I would have laughed in your face and called the loony bin for you. “I can run for a long time.” Yeah, three years ago, I was happy to make it 10 minutes, much less [...]

That’s right! You’ve heard of Web 2.0, you might have even heard of Church 2.0. Now, coming to a German city near you is Linden 2.0! I had a chat with David the other day about starting over; he’s getting the opportunity this January when he joins the Army to be a Crypto-linguistic (SOOO cool!). [...]

I went ahead and added the “Part 1″ this time, because I know that this move is going to affect my life in more ways than one. There’s gonna be at least one follow-up post on this topic. Just gonna set the correct expectation up front. :) Our goal is to get absolutely everything we [...]
