Quite good actually! My advisor okayed my introduction a few weeks ago. I dabbled briefly in some data analysis and I have found some very interesting results. So interesting in fact that I’m waiting to discuss them with my advisor before I continue. I’m putting the finishing touches on one… Read more“"How’s Your Dissertation Going, Keith?"”

Nirvana – Aneurysm
So I’m picking up around 2 weeks worth of cat poo in the basement, and cleaning the litterboxes. The trash bag I’m scooping them into has a hole at the bottom, made by the cats because they can break in to the bag cabinet where there is now a torn-open… Read more“Nirvana – Aneurysm”

Four Time "Red Light/Green Light" Champion
St. Louis Lambert Airport1:22PMNo free public wifi. You win again, Kansas City. Check in was automated but lineless. In some type of survival of the fittest scenario you would have to spot a free kiosk and jump there before someone else beat you to it. At the security station it… Read more“Four Time "Red Light/Green Light" Champion”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
A few unfortunate things have happened which mean nothing by themselves but together has really made me uncontrollably Hulk-angry. No, don’t really want to talk about it. Just a fair warning for our next interaction.
On Bended Knee
My dissertation proposal is done, proofread, second guessed like no paper before. It’s attached to a mass email to my committee. All I need to do is hit the “Send” button. And… here… we… go…
Cat Tent Fun
Sorry for the obnoxious laughter. Tent is a BÄSTIS from Ikea.
