Fatigue

Yeah, folks, blogging fatigue has set in, in a big way. I expect blog-reading fatigue may also have set in. Hmmm…. well, I arrived in Bloomington on Saturday, late afternoon, more or less just in time for my reunion. In college, I was part of the Indiana Memorial Union Board

Gloriana, Frangipana

Well, I made it. My final, check. Teach the last class of the quarter, check. Jump straight into the car and drive from Chicago to B-ton, check. Wireless at the IMU Hotel, check. It is kind odd to be a grownup, staying at the IMU Hotel, etc., when I spent

TGIF

Coming down

I feel, a little bit, like I am coming slowly down, more along the lines of a pop bottle which has been furiously shaken and finally begins to settle than ‘Duuude, I’m coming down’ – it’s a positive, not a negative. As thing after thing gets crossed off the

now, did i turn off the iron? Originally uploaded by crgreene yes, i am a nerd. but this continues to crack me up, and after my slightly high-falutin’ Miltonian post, i think we need to take it down a notch. [Taken in Lyon, France.]

School's out

Well, at least for this term anyway. Insert a large smile, and a vision of many nights spent: lounging watching movies; lounging watching TV; lounging reading books; just plain lounging; and, the odd night out actually (GASP) interacting with other people. In real clothes, with real waistbands and stuff, as

Interestingness

Originally uploaded by OneEyedJack I am liking flickr’s interestingness measure lately as you may know from yesterday’s photo post. How exactly it works, a mystery to me, and who cares. Anyway, I came across this, and I love it. Thought I’d share.

Elite, baby

That’s right, I have been invited to join the Yelp Elite. I don’t know if someone nominated me – in which case, thanks! I’ll share any of the promised special discounts or whatever with you – or if Andrea W., the intrepid Chicago manager lady, who does quite a

Crunching, crushing

I warn you, I am flagging a bit on the ideas today, so this post is a little random. Today I carried my camera into work and back and took some photos of the fall foliage, which I fear will be gone all too soon. I’m so glad we

Joy and sorrow

Well, I’m a bit tired today, and just plain tired of school … but sadly for me and for you, I have a final on Wednesday which needs a lot of attention, so this post will be short. Yesterday I ran down to Bloomington for the wedding of Jessica and

Ms. Baggage if you're nästa...

Arek & Heather are travelling in Sweden right now. [you should check his and her photos] Amazingly, still reading my blog (I, and Google Analytics, thank you both.) I just laughed out loud at this email rec’d from him. Subject: Your blog, in Swedish! Well, just the navigations. Someone

Me and my big sofa

Well, about twelve hours later than usual, but here I am nevertheless. Another week gone … how does it happen so quickly? Since it’s Friday – Friday night no less – I think I will let myself off the hook a little and just do a random listing of items for you.

It's been ... one week

I don’t remember anything else about that song, except, something about 2 weeks, 2 days til we say we’re sorry …yes, I am referring to the Barenaked Ladies. Anyway, this marks one week of daily blogging, a quarter of the way through, and still pushing onward. I believe

Procrastination

Dedicated readers may wonder what has spurred the flurry of activity in my home this week – the rearranging, the heavy duty cleaning, the book project, and the various other projects I haven’t seen fit to blog here (the big magazine recycle, Christmas 2007 is fully underway [yes I have

Well, here we are again

Another Monday. How quickly the weekends go by… it also happens to be Guy Fawkes Night, an event many Americans are aware of largely due to the film V for Vendetta, I would venture to guess. I found it a bit heavy handed, if I recall correctly, but it had

Free books, first come first serve

If I could turn back time

Oh wait, we all did last night. Apparently, for me, (a) The more you laze around, the more tired you feel, was the case yesterday [see post]. How to remedy the situation … why, rearrange all the furniture in your living room. All except the Wall of Books, anyway. I spent

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em and hope shame helps

So. We have a new little project here, it’s called NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting Month, and it is what I like to think of as the realistic alternative to NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. The idea is this: generate some written copy every day for the month of November.

Long and Short of It

Went to see “The Long of It,” first of a two night engagement for the Decemberists, on Sunday evening with Lil Bit. What a great show … musically, excellent; and they were also a lot of fun, and seemed to really enjoy each other, the audience, everything. How often do you
