Man, I’m pretty nerdy. I just spent a bunch of money at Amazon on books concerning French morphology and French language history. I even got one on argot to further my research, which, I believe, will probably go into the spring since I think I missed some deadlines or something along the way. Not that that really bothers me since I’m going to be in the Haute a while anyway. It’ll just Continue reading
All righty then.
I came back to my office after my morning class and wiggled the mouse to stop the screen saver and this is what I saw:
Yeah, I feel the love.
Arthritis
Random thoughts before I go dive into my thesis: I can’t remember what it’s like to not have arthritis. I don’t know what it’s like to walk down several flights of stairs without thinking about the way it makes my kneecaps feel. I don’t know anymore what days without at least some minor aching are. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have to think about my joints before starting a Continue reading
Suffixes
Dammit, I found another one: -oune(t). This list is getting ridiculous.
Thesis
See ya.
Paper
I’ve decided that I like paper. I mean, anyone coming into my office and taking one look at my desk would swear I was addicted to piles of paper, but just piling up paper’s not the fun stuff to do with it. A little while back, I put together a little town made up of paper. It took me a couple days, but it sure was fun just cutting it out and scoring it and bending it and holding it together Continue reading
Cereal
You know, sometimes I miss getting up in the morning and sitting down and having a bowl of cereal. Just sitting at a table, pouring a bowl of something sugary and then pouring milk over it, kicking my feet and reading the back of the box while waiting until time to get on the bus. I guess I could still do the bowl of cereal part if I were to get up earlier and well, actually buy some cereal Continue reading
Whee.
So this weekend passed without much incident. I won’t lie and say I had a great time, but I’ll also try to keep from going too far in the other direction and say I had a terrible time either. Since certain events were good and others were stressful/irritating, the weekend taken as a whole rather leveled itself out into neutrality. It’s not quite indifference, but to avoid being too negative, I Continue reading
Brain drippings
Gory boring TV story. Green staplers and Dasani caps. Can a juvenile hawk carry a squirrel? Can a squirrel ignore a juvenile hawk while burying acorns? Paper hearts and sticker stars. Boo! Someday I’ll get an air mattress. Silver markers underwear waterbedhead. Printer jams mean less popcorn. Grey books and white books and red books mean foreign words are ever present. See Continue reading
New fish
So I am finally sane/awake enough to introduce the latest addition to the Doyle household: GJ!
GJ stands for Gus Jr. because I already have a gargoyle on my desk named Gus. GJ is a fancy-tailed guppy, and he’s in with Cthulu to keep the snail company, and boy does he! He has taken to following the snail around or just swimming around him in circles like a pesky little brother. Continue reading
