According to the article, the company’s founder has a mixture that is suitable for human consumption, and she even sprinkles some of it on her porridge every morning! However, despite the [...]

Elevator Drama
Posted in Random on January 29, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Today I experienced something for the first time ever – getting stuck in an elevator! And, it was not a very pleasant experience, though I probably made a bigger deal out of it than the situation warranted.

Last night was the second Kings Road Pub Crawl, and the night featured O’Neil’s, The Bath Arms, Ha Ha, and The Sahara (more of a club than a pub). Since so many of us got digital cameras for Christmas, it turned into quite an evening of taking photos! Here are a few I took of [...]

In less than 2 days I’ve written 5,400 words, which is pretty impressive for me. Hopefully at least 5,000 [...]

It was wonderful to be home for a while over Christmas! I had a really good time visiting friends and family, and it was good to see a lot of people who I have missed a lot since coming over here to study. Thad and I flew into Washington DC where our families met us [...]
