Remember how I said that I hadn’t knocked off the item from my 101 list that I intended to do in January ((i.e., item #78 – sort through my many boxes of papers (most of which contain papers from my thesis), recycling the papers I don’t need and filing the ones I do need.)). I totally […] →Read more
How, exactly, is it February? It seems like just yesterday I was finishing up my lovely restful Christmas holidays and *poof* it’s February! This means, of course, that we are 1 full month into the new year and it seems like an excellent time to check in on those goals that I set for 2013, […] →Read more

This can only mean one thing: Cath is running the VWXPool! hockey pool again! As I procrastinated on actually sitting down to make my picks ((Though I […] →Read more
It just occurred to me that in all of my birthday festivities, I forgot to have any birthday cake! Birthday beer, birthday shots, birthday food, more birthday beer – all of these things were covered, but somehow cake did not make it into the mix. But I figure +/- a week is within the period […] →Read more
Copies of my brand new textbook! I have to say, it’s pretty amazing to hold this book – the product of so much work – in my very own hands! For those of you who have been asking where you can buy yourself a copy of this fine book ((I.e., Rick.)), you can get it […] →Read more
So apparently this is what I would look like as a zombie ((Courtesy of http://www.deadyourself.com/walkers, a promo website for the Walking Dead television series. As if you could forget that it’s starting back up in a few weeks! Props to my Aunt Lynn for bringing this important website to my attention via her zombifying her […] →Read more
