Month: May 2012

Realistically I have a ton to be thankful for. And I don't often feel like I thank people enough for what they do for me or what they do for others. Sure there are thank you cards, and saying thanks and typing out emails of appreciation and whatnot, but there's so much I want to… Continue reading Thankful…

So I'm still stuffed up and dealing with an annoying cold. Now that it's making a dent in my social life (as well as my productive life, but whatever to that), I figured I'd take the time to natter on about it for a moment or two. It's darn hard to sleep with a stuffy… Continue reading Bah. Dear cold, could you please go away?

So as I sit here, enjoying a day of the Internets while suffering from a cold (it is progressing though, so I have hope that I'll be healthy again by the time I need to be… I really hope that will be the case in any event seeing as I have two papers to deliver/help… Continue reading Travel and geekery abounds!

… is often a fun hobby for me, realistically. This year however, money is a little bit tighter than previously (partially as I live alone, and partially because being a grad student isn't as lucrative as it could otherwise be… but also because travel is expensive and I have to pay for everything upfront while… Continue reading Money management…

Not that it's not already started, but the meat of the conference season for me has really gotten near! And not a day passes without some sort of email referencing some sort of conference or convention or something in it. And I look forward to all the busy-ness: it won't give me the opportunity to… Continue reading The Conference season approaches… ack!

Or at least the weather is cooperating. And not only have I taken my newest Wii game somewhat seriously (I'm doing 15 minute workouts at the moment, given that they don't have the clock running the whole time it's longer than 15 minutes… but whatever. I'm still testing the thing, making sure it's not too… Continue reading And it's well… summer!

So I procrastinate. A lot. In fact this procrastination could be perceived as detrimental or even just a negative effect. But, I don't always deem it as such. I mean sometimes, it is quite evident that I should be doing other stuff than what I am, but I think my continual struggle for balance compels… Continue reading On procrastination and productivity.

I'm in a really good mood today. Not entirely sure why (though there are some reasons I could blame, partially good food, partially having a nap this afternoon, partially having a good exercise session this morning… but there are many other potential causes too). And being in a really good mood has gotten me thinking… Continue reading Dreams, hopes, wishes…

So while I don't like to spend money on going out for lunch more often than I need to, today the warm weather reminded me of the awesomeness of food trucks (oh I can't wait for Japadog in Vancouver in just over a week — yum!) and a craving for a really yummy sandwich for… Continue reading It's that warm food truck season again! 🙂

… is that I tend to sporadically do it to excess. If I were consistent this wouldn't be so big of a problem, nor would it be if I happened to not have bad wrists or random aches and pains or other silly health concerns that crop up without much cause, but damn it I… Continue reading The problem with physical activity…
