I met Joe at his house at 8AM, and before leaving for the airport, we exchanged gifts. As usual, he went over the top in gifts, so much so that I insisted that he take back one of his $25 iTunes gift cards! I dropped him off at the airport at just after 8:30 for his … Read more
I got the final package that I needed to send in the mail today, and it was small enough to mail first class—meaning it will arrive by Tuesday. Life is good. I met Nacia (bluglass) at Helios today at 1:00, and we had great conversation over a caramella, a latte, and some humus and pita … Read more
I was up and at ’em early this morning, as I had (too much) running around to do before graduation at 1:30 today. I ran by the church in which we were graduating to make sure I knew where it was for later today, to scope out the parking situation around it, and to be … Read more
I did a lot of running around today: I bought 85 non-religious holiday stamps at the post office and stamped my 72 pieces of mail with them. I rode to Target to pick up my pictures, print two 8x10s and four 5x7s, and to buy four picture frames and two photo albums. I picked up my pics … Read more
Oh glorious sleep! I had a totally lazy day today, catching up my blog entries from Thursday and Friday, and running a couple of loads through the dishwasher to incrementally clean up from the party. We only had five dancers tonight, including Rick, Herman, Carl, Michael, and myself. Herman only knows a couple of dances, … Read more
I worked on my final paper for Rhetoric of Science and Technology today, and was pleasantly surprised by how it progressed. Before I knew it, it was 4:30, and time to shower and head to class. Our penultimate Rhetoric of Science and Technology class was good tonight. Both Andrews presented, as well as Lindsay and … Read more
Sometimes, okay most times, it’s all about the food. Two food-related things I forgot to mention yesterday: First, I got way too excited posting this response to a question on buzzcubnc‘s blog: What’s your favorite flavor ice cream and how do you like to eat it? My favorite ice creams are 1) Butter Pecan, 2) … Read more
In anticipation of finally graduating in December, I have created an “After Graduation To-Do List,” which I intend to attend to in 2008, while I’m still working only three days a week, but out of school. So far, I have 24 items on it. I spent the afternoon at Helios, where, as usual, it was … Read more
An IBM colleague of mine instant messaged me today to tell me that, being inspired by my submissions, he submitted a onesentence.org entry himself—and got published! It’s a good one, especially with Thanksgiving on our heels. It’s called Pay No Attention to the Backhoe Outside. During the short conversation, he also congratulated me for making … Read more
I had my lab work done this morning—in anticipation of my physical which is a week from today, for which all of my lab results will be available. After fingering the crook of my arm for a minute or more, I said to the phlebotomist, “Don’t see anything you like?” She smiled. “This one right … Read more
