Sometimes real life gets in the way… Oh, You Were Planning a Non-Virtual Relationship? Guy #1: That girl at the party, Kyra—she was hot. Guy #2: I thought so, too, but then I saw her MySpace photos, and she didn’t look that good. I’ll send you a link to them. Guy #1: Uh… Dude, I … Read more
I got up at 10:00 today, and after checking in on AIM with Robert, I fixed myself a delicious onion and extra sharp cheddar cheese omelet. I have finally gotten to the point where I can make an omelet that looks as good as it tastes. The secret is patience; no wonder it’s taken me … Read more
At 8:48, I tumbled outta bed, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and generally yawned and stretched and just tried to come to life. How original. I worked from home today, and had an interesting instant message chat with Mary Mahoney in Austin; I like her. Later in the day, I … Read more
I started my morning off at the Food Lion on Avent Ferry, where I did Service-Learning grocery shopping for today’s meeting with the Engaged College Leadership team, and a separate order for Patti’s lab and the outing to hear Linda & Millard Fuller speak this evening. As the day unfolded, I discovered that they either … Read more
Robert brought me coffee in bed, and then he made me breakfast. Love that man. So sweet. I met E-Ching and David at just after 12:30, and we made the two-mile walk from their house to K&W at Cameron Village. We entered the Disneyworld-like line that consisted, undoubtedly, of churchgoers coming, but with all the … Read more

At about 7:30, I went over to Carmichael, where I had to park in the Coliseum Deck—obviously some kind of event going on in Reynolds with the amount of cars parked in the … Read more
I forgot to mention a couple of things that I wanted to capture from yesterday, but that entry was long enough anyway. I know, “Aren’t they all?” But you digress… The first thing was with regards to being an editor for a living and how it makes me crazy some times. I just can’t stop … Read more
I worked at home today for IBM, taking a late lunch hour to attend a presentation on his research by Dr. Brent Faber of Clarkson University, who is the second (of three) candidates coming to campus this month to interview for an associate professor job opening in the Department of English. He “read” the first … Read more
Because a Nose Ring Isn’t Worth Going off My Diet http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/008709.html Random chick: You guys waiting in line? Freshman girl: Yeah, I’m getting my nose pierced. Random chick: Oh, nice… My friend just got hers done. It’s not supposed to be that bad. Freshman girl: Do you know if it gets in the way of … Read more
Joe and I left my place at about 11:30. We stopped at the Bruegger’s at Mission Valley, where I had to refrain from SHIFTING INTO UPPER CASE in terms of customer service. The line was too long; the people serving too inefficient, resulting in slow customer service; the person who helped me mumbled; the cashier, who … Read more
