As an update: my finger is fine, though like a nice little hypochondriac I went to the doctor to have it checked. (I’m giving myself a bit of leeway in this area, as I understandably am rather heavily invested in the long-term function of my hands.) The milk and cheese spent the day under the … More Heavyweight Club
So as I was leaving for work, I realized that I didn’t remember putting the milk I’d purchased two hours previous in the fridge. So I look around the house, and the milk isn’t anywhere. Great, I think; I must have left it in the car. So I run out to the car… and it’s … More Lace won’t fix this…
So I can’t wait to tell you about the awesome last few days I had – Easter and Birthday all at once?

I realized about a week ago that my wee-est sister’s birthday was coming up, and that I had a UFO with her … More Accidentally Interesting

This evidence generally comes in the form of the blooming of the forsythia bushes. I have … More The forsythia have landed!
Things that have happened so far while applying for graduate school that should probably be evidence that I should not be applying to graduate school: 1. I took the GRE. I know I did. I even remember that my score was kinda high-up on the little flow chart that popped up on the screen afterwards. … More I can’t be smart enough for this
