I met with Jason to discuss the segmenting and coding of his research data. I feel a lot more “on board” after the talk. We spent a little time afterwards talking about the class, and I asked him for some advice about talking to Susan about my “grade point average goals and objectives.” I found … Read more
I stopped by the IBM Credit Union on Harrison to deposit a check from Robert, and made my way over to the Panera Bread off James Jackson Avenue. I had a delicious French Toast bagel with Reduced Fat (!) Honey Walnut Cream Cheese, and a cup of coffee one-fifth hazelnut, four-fifths non-flavored regular coffee. I … Read more
I slept in this morning. Glorious. I was relieved to hear from Myra today, just in time for the information I needed for tonight’s STC Officer’s meeting. I spent most of the afternoon at Helios, where I got a bunch of STC work done: Prepared the agenda for tonight’s STC Officers Meeting, which includes the following … Read more

The articles we have to read are interesting for the most part, but often tedious to read, process, and then compare and contrast theories presented in each, which essentially is what we … Read more
I picked up an “emergency” 30-day prescription refill today at K-Mart, as my doctor’s office has mailed me the 90-day ones, which won’t get here in time for me to mail to merckmedco and get the meds back before I’ll run out of one of them. I brought my flash drive with me to print … Read more
This study comes from Cindy Meston, PhD, and David Buss, PhD, of the psychology department at the University of Texas at Austin. First, they asked 203 men and 241 women aged 17-52 in Austin, Texas, to anonymously list every reason they had ever had sex. Those men and women were taking psychology classes or were … Read more
I’m a regular subscriber to Slate’s Explainer podcast, where, when people hear something they don’t quite get in a news story, they write in and ask for an explanation about it. Here’s the latest (the last paragraph kills me): Bathroom Sex FAQ: Cruising signals, legal issues, and Larry Craig’s “wide stance.” By Christopher Beam Posted … Read more
