more mellonnesses

The slideshow below was taken yesterday after our penultimate seminar. We have a visiting prof this Wed, and then one more Mellon seminar before we disband this year's group. Very sad.

Last night, toward the end of the dinner, F turned to me and said as a joke, "Are you sure you're supposed to be laughing this much?? Aren't Christians supposed to be more sober??"

I must confess, I didn't know how to respond!

driving through part of Koreatown with SMS and F (yes, the F with whom I was passing notes)

Our prog is funded by the "Mellon Foundation" and we thought we had a "melon cake" to celebrate . . .

happiness III

Happiness would be gathering everyone I care about in one place and never having to say goodbye again.

my french fries addiction

So this is why I love french fries and potato chips! Hmm, the only way I avoid inhaling potato chips on a nightly basis is to walk right by the chips aisle in the grocery store. It's a method that works as long as I keep walking but maybe I can change my perceptions of that disgusting piece of over-fried, over-salted, over-processed sliver of potato . . .

ps - I blog more often when I'm not on Facebook . . . . but I'll be back on Facebook by Sat night, muahahahahaha . . . .

fun movie

Caught this with some friends last night and really enjoyed it!

Why is writing so difficult? Why?? WHY????

I realize that I fantasize about leaving the field every time I have to write under the gun. That means I fantasize about a career change very often.

aarrgh

I'm presenting another paper at our research groups annual conference in a week and I haven't started writing the paper. Can't seem to get anything done so I'm going home. To sleep or watch TV or anything but sit in front of my computer with nothing to do. Writing blocks SUCK!!!!!
