The weekend's here! Have a can of beer!

This evening Jess, Rashaad, Tracy, and I went to the Texas Roadhouse for supper. We are all coming off of 13 consecutive days of work with all sorts of arrival craziness, and I think we deserved to cut loose and have a delicious, non-dining hall meal. Everyone had steaks, and everyone complained a

Getting Back on the Wagon

April 13 seems like forever ago, but in reality it has been a quick 4+ months since I have updated this blog. Let's recap, and set some goals for the new school year, shall we? Summer went incredibly quickly. Jess and I went to Disney World in May for our basically annual trip. It was a great time

My money is on the pack of hyenas

Here's the thing: A pack of hyenas has no sense of self-consciousness. During a fight between a gorilla and pack of hyenas, here is how I imagine the internal dialogue between the two groups might go:Gorilla: Here I am fighting a pack of hyenas. Lets see how that goes.Hyenas: BITE! BITE! BITE

When I get home, I kick off my shoes.

Here's the thing: As soon as I am in pajamas, it is just a matter of time before I doze off. I have the uncanny ability to fall asleep in approximately 3 minutes, and even faster when my pillows are cool and the room is totally dark. When I get home from work, I usually just stay in whatever I w

Power to imagine, courage to act.

This past week, Jess and I (along with some of our colleagues) went to the ACPA Annual Convention in Metro D.C. To say the convention was in Washington D.C. is a little bit misleading.  Despite being in the hazy midground between Maryland and Virginia, the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Cen

Here's a funny book for you . . .

I think this is a funny book because it takes really insignificant pop culture nuggets and pulls some real significance out of them. I think Klosterman is a great writer, and I like his slightly twisted take on things. If you read nothing else, check out his 23 questions that asks everyone he

When I retire, I might choose to live in Vancouver, BC.

I've never been there, but it seems like my kind of place. As much as I would want to live somewhere warm and sunny, I think I am more naturally a cold and rainy kind of guy. I like the idea of living near the ocean, and Vancouver has a reputation for being a liberal, open-minded kind of place.

The weekend that was

Jess and I had another very good weekend crammed full of movies and general laziness. On Saturday night we watched Changling, which was surprisingly better than I anticipated. I thought it would be OK, and it was actually very good. I am not a huge Angelina Jolie fan (I don't get the appeal in the s

I want a Funcooker

Remember how when I started this blog I was committed to updating everyday? What happened to that?This week is spring break at PSU. Most people spend spring break going to exotic, tropical locations and making bad, drunken decisions. Not the Kovals. We visited Jess's parents in Ohio, my folks in
