The Thrilling Bungee Trampoline!
Posted in Random on August 27, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Now, that is what I want to do when I finish this freaking paper. A fiver well-spent, I think.
Progress today has been slow. Super slow. But, I’m trying to be optimistic by thinking that the night is young……
The other night while walking around (yes I actually left – not only the flat [...]
Dissertation Update

18,000 words down, one conclusion and LOTS (and I mean LOTS) of editing to go.
Cannot wait to be done!
Calling all He-man Fans

Yes, I know. Two posts in one day while working on my dissertation? For shame…..
I blame this one on Alvaro. But, if you’re like me and have fond memories of watching He-man every day after coming home from kindergarten (plus, have a fondness for Queen), you’ll love this video. It’s worth watching until [...]
A Room with a View

Yes, I will be happy to finish my dissertation. Yes I am excited about moving to Oxford to live with Thad, his friends, and Phoenix. Yes, I am looking forward to working in London. Yes, I am looking forward to a(nother) break from academic work.
But, I am really, really, really going to miss the view [...]
Dissertation Blues, and a Cold (But wait, there’s good news too!)
Posted in Anthro/Development, Random on August 22, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
The dissertation is slowly but surely growing, and I’m finally approaching the 15,000 word mark (which I will hopefully surpass tomorrow). For the past couple of weeks my routine has primarily consisted of waking up early, showering, breakfast, putting on pajamas (my dissertation uniform), and writing (or trying to write) all day. Sometimes I may [...]
Feeling Inspired
Posted in Anthro/Development, Random on August 19, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Well, at least a little. My goal for today was writing at least 2,000 words, but that has not begun to happen yet. Instead, I have spent most of today thinking about the organization of my dissertation, looking back over my fall term’s course notes, and pondering my master’s program in general. The sad thing [...]
Aaarrrrgh! (As in Pirates)
Posted in Random on August 12, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Tonight Alvaro and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean (the second time for both of us) at the Duke of York Picturehouse in Brighton. It was really great to see it again, but dressing up was the best part (it was a pirates fancy dress party).
After getting ready, we had a fun [...]
Lewes Guitar Festival, Gay Pride, and Other Happenings

Thad came up this past weekend for the Lewes Guitar Festival, and we were able to see four great performances, including Hayseed Dixie! Thad has already posted about it, so check out his blog for the details.
Last Saturday was the culmination of Gay Pride Week in Brighton, and of course that wouldn’t have been complete [...]
Strange Things Happen in my Fridge….

I’m not sure if this is a common event in British fridges, or if it’s just unique to the one in my flat, but this is what Alvaro and I found in it when we were investigating the source of some wetness on our shelves!
Could it pass for modern art? (it’s difficult to see, but [...]
