After a very angst-ridden morning replete with multiple rejections, we got an apt yesterday! Yahoo!
I have only seen the four photos on the website, but between that and our future roommate’s vouching for the place I am very excited. It’s on the upper end of our budget and doesn’t have laundry, but it’s large, nice, [...]

Despite my desire to have a blog not married to my progress as a student, I have to just vent for a moment here.
I’m working on the hardest chapter of my thesis – as far as I’m concerned, anyway – and it just refuses to yield to me in a friendly, interesting, manageable way. I’ll [...]
Why I’m Drinking Alone

To my credit, it’s one can of beer.
However, it’s unusual for me to sit at home and drink. Here’s why:
It’s over 30 degrees. We live on the top floor with no air con.
My craptop was returned to me, miraculously, on Wednesday. It turned on once that day, and once on Thursday. By late Thursday, however, [...]

Vote for J*rdin.
You already voted off the best singer, so c’mon. Of the two that are left, vote for the one who’s the better singer.
Besides, Bl*ke will not need the title “Americ*n Id*l” in the same way she may.
R*andy pointed out why: Bl*ke is a phenomenal performer who can entertain and beat box his way [...]
Suburban Getaway

Cam and I stole two nights at a B&B just outside the city (but on the commuter trains) from Sunday night to this afternoon. The weather was divine and the little tiny town right on the water. If I tried really hard I could almost, sort of, convince myself it was the ocean. Being the [...]

*Post title inspired by the inimitable Cat Empire*
When it’s sunny, 20 degrees Celsius, with a light breeze and almost no humidity, who wouldn’t want to ride their bike?
And when riding around on relatively smooth bike paths, and in traffic that is shockingly polite, with trees in full bloom, who wouldn’t want to live in this [...]
Back Pain

A desire to purge came over me on Friday evening – no doubt egged on by the alternative of sitting in front of my computer working on my thesis. With a move pending and future closet space uncertain, I decided it made sense to get rid of clothes I no longer wear. And it was [...]

I have abandoned my old blog, which I may soon delete. I decided that I hated too many of the old posts, was tired of blogger in general, and wanted something less attached to me being a student. I’m not quite done with school, but like blogging in general and wanted to start one [...]
