The day-to-day story of my life.

partial move

Published: 26 April 2009
I’m halfway moved into the new apartment because yesterday I took two carloads of boxes, bags, and miscellaneous stuff like my printer. Loading the car is a pain because I currently live on the second story, so I have to go down some stairs and across the yard to reach the car. With [...]

Published: 23 April 2009
Pfhew, so let’s see what’s going on in my life, since it’s been some time since I last updated with a real entry. I’m moving this weekend to my new apartment, and it’s going to suck like all moves suck, but this one I’m hoping will be better, at least in some ways, than [...]

taxes, a pot pie, and Cylon speculation

Published: 15 March 2009
Yarr, I should go to bed, and probably will do so after I post this entry. It’s spring break and I’m enjoying the time off, though I’m still busy. I have to do my taxes and I so don’t want to, but I kind of need the money I’m sure to get back, [...]

graduate school, Rails, and the squealing loo

Published: 20 February 2009
Pfhew, excitement! First things first, I applied to UK’s graduate school yesterday. Yes, I know, I’m crazy! I’m going to get my Master’s in computer science because I enjoy having $22,000 in debt already from student loans and I think my life would be more complete if I added another $10,000 or [...]

ice storm

Published: 28 January 2009
Holy crap, the snow! Yesterday starting around 1 a.m., we started having freezing rain and snow. Getting out yesterday morning was ridiculous, even on foot. The main roads may have been clear, but the community in which I live was nothing but ice-coated roads and sidewalks; I fell on my butt like [...]

independent study, a death in the family, and my car

Published: 21 January 2009
Pfhew, so I’m back in school and things are more hectic than I figured. Work at Lexmark has been pretty steady, as I work my 15 hours per week, but the other stuff has been up in the air. I had a meeting with my professor yesterday to discuss work on the Baby [...]

cancer

Published: 8 January 2009
Howard told me the other day my blog has gotten boring, and I told him simply that my life is currently boring! Not that I’m complaining: I’ve had a great time at home with my family, free of interesting trips and shenanigans (though not free of drama, more on that in a later [...]
