out, about, around, over the equator

Sunday, February 25, 2007

I called Kate today to make plans for the long Australia trip. She’s like “Where are we meeting tomorrow?” I said “WTF, you know we leave on Tuesday!” she said “Hey dork are you looking at the itinerary, because I am. We leave TOMORROW.” (all quotations approximate.) Sure enough, what I had typed into iCal [...]

senorita dorkus

Wednesday, February 21, 2007

I’m generally pleasantly amused at my dorky nerdishness, or my nerdy geekishness, or perhaps just my all around avuncular spazzitude. However, sometimes I’d just like to have normal-people concerns. I saved packing for this most recent trip to Kansas until pretty much the last minute. I had a talk to give and was bringing my [...]

out of my boot

Sunday, February 18, 2007

I went to put on my ultra-snow boots today (one level up from my regular snow boots and two levels up from my boots, three levels up from my normal walking around shoes) because I went out to fill the bird feeders. Since my yard is pretty much full up with snow, I dug a [...]

snowy valentine’s day

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

I made this picture last night. I don’t have a lot of weird associations with Valentine’s Day one way or the other. My Dad sends me pears in the mail which arrived early and have already been eaten. It’s a really lovely snowy day outside. Maybe I’ll go out and get a piece of candy [...]

INTJ

Saturday, February 10, 2007

I took one of those Myers-Briggs tests with a bunch of friends the other day and I scored an I for the first time ever. For those of you not obsessive about personality tests, I stands for introvert, E for extrovert. I’ve been an ENTJ pretty much forever, though I’m pretty on the fence in [...]

sfo wrap-up

Tuesday, February 6, 2007

So I took the redeye back this morning and I have to say it wasn’t bad. Direct Oakland to Boston, five hours and a little bit, left at 10:30-ish which meant that I got into Boston at around the time I usually go to sleep (sunrise nonwithstanding. I acclimate to timezones quickly) and got on [...]
