Referenced in my earlier post- this is one of the pieces performed by David Wax Museum. One of the lovelier things I've heard in recent recollection. This musician sounds like someone who's felt ...

So last night, my roommate and her boyfriend pulled me out to one of our favorite watering holes for some live music. Apparently, her favorite band was performing- David Wax Museum, I heartily re...

It's been a good long while since I posted last. Funny story (except not really): turns out I've had Lyme disease for the last few months and only just finished the necessary antibiotics to get r...

I just had a brush with death- my roommate and I tried to bring the cats to the vet clinic and it was, hands down, the most terrifying experience of my life. The female cat doesn't genearlly meow...
I'm listening to the kind of music nobody in their right mind admits to listening to. It's rock music performed by a cello ensemble. While I love the rendition of Journey "Don't Stop Believin'" a...

Sometimes when you do stupid things like clean your dishes with the same sponge you use to clean your counters, you boost your immune system. Other times, you unwittingly give yourself fungal inf...

I inherited a behavior from my mother. I talk at people at random. and at length. Also, I embarass my sister in public. I mean, I don't go so far as to sing opera (oh yes, my mother SINGS OPERA i...

Things have lagged a little but it was because I suffered some temporary idiocy and thought I had scurvy but seriously, outside of 18th century pirates, who the hell gets that? Saw a doctor today...

Somebody once told me that it gets easier. "It" must be the proverbial representation of life. While I'm really not complaining, and I like my life, that somebody definitely lied to me because I'...

I had an amazing new adventure with my rent-a-cats today. Well, okay, mostly just the one. We're beyond Houdini though, this cat apparates through walls, Harry Potter style. That's right, this ca...

You've probably noticed by now that I tend to approach everything in life with a certain amount of humor. I read once that you shouldn't laugh at everything because it trivializes things that sho...

I am currently the renter of two lovely cats. Let me set this up: My sister is the cat person. She had one named Carmel that she'd carry in a backpack and would play fetch with her. I am allergic...

That really is the name of the game, isn't it? It seemed like a good idea at the time- that's why we're doing anything that we're doing. "Why are you in the field that you are?" "because it seeme...

Has anybody else noticed that EVERYBODY is getting married/engaged/having babies? No, seriously, there are albums all over facebook of surprise weddings that I never saw coming. I'm not the only ...

Alright, I can admit it. I'm procrastinating. I've been up since before 7 am, a weird trend that's marked this week. I've been productive, writing various things for a few hours only after taking...

What month is this? Is this really August? I've come to the conclusion that I exist within a black hole, and its vacuum travels with me wherever I go. No, seriously, how did it get to be August ...

I'm on my 40th hour with no sleep. I think. I'm not entirely certain anymore. You see, I had a presentation to give today in class, and I spent about 20 hours on it straight. Starting yesterday e...

I've been putting in vast amounts of my time trying to compare costs for various data carriers for this project I'm doing. I won't bore you with the technical details, but this stems off of a pro...

Once upon a time, I had strong opinions. While I've never been the type to be imposing, it was comforting for me to have them all the same. In the last 18 months I suppose something changed all ...

Day one of my major exams are is in less than 24 hours. So what am I doing? Blogging! Actually, I'm just making a short comment and then getting back to the studying I've been at since 10:30 this...

My day began fairly normally- not particularly eventful. I blew through another portion of a project I have due very shortly, and the professor and TF for that class took a few of us out to eat d...

I've come to a realization. That whole episode following my break up was upsetting, as those kinds of things sometimes will be. I had a very understanding professor tell me that loss of that kin...

You may have noticed the slowly accumulating cat iconography all over my page. And the frequent references to cats. This is actually inexplicable because 24 years of experience tells me that I do...
