I&#039ve been working on learning/figuring out some Mandarin for most of the afternoon, and I need to rest my eyes a while. It&#039s about that time in the afternoon when I&#039m normally exhausted and want to go home, but I seem to be doing all right today. Continue reading →

So I figured I&#039d stick with the random title again today. I&#039m about to embark on a cram session for my Linguistics 619 class, the one I&#039ve been pouring hours into on the other webpage. Continue reading →

So far I&#039ve spent the entire morning working on my Univ 101 stuff. I&#039ve photocopied their midterms, stapled them, administered them, graded them, entered the grades in, and shoved the into one of the many piles of crap on my desk. Continue reading →

Half the people who look at this site are out of town, but I feel like posting anyway. Cthulu&#039s hiding behind the plant on the other side of the tank, so I kind of can&#039t see him right now, and it means he&#039s obviously not up to his usual antics. Continue reading →

I really enjoy watching Cthulu meander around his one-gallon tank here at work. He does so many cute things like diving off the air filter, hiding in the plant, and moving pebbles around. Continue reading →
