I’m a linguistics grad student and I still don’t know what the hell I want to do. I want to write about the various things that go on in my head. Some are weird and funny, some are pretty messed up. Whatever. It’s my head, it can be however it wants to. I also love to cook, so I’ll be posting tons of recipes. I’m just a Louisiana girl out of her element in her new digs. And to ease the pain of no longer getting good seafood, I write on my blog.

Real estate (for real)

So C and I were suddenly looking at houses. I keep getting paychecks, see, and I finally looked at my bank account and realized I could conceivably make a down payment on a small house. Which is cool! We’re going to talk to an agent/broker next week to see what’s what. Realistically, it might not [.

Dinner gone awry

It’s been a gorgeous day and the weather was still fantastic when C and I decided to go to dinner.  The weather being as nice as it is, we opted to sit outside on the patio, at a table with a kind of thatched roof/umbrella thing over it.  I was having a good time, eating [...]

The seamy side of suburbia

C and I went out for Thai food tonight and there was this super loud table near us, 2 middle-aged couples, one couple clearly visiting from out of town. The woman of the in-town couple kept trying to convince the other couple to come back to their house for “just a touch of Frangelico.”  She [...]

Well that’s just funny

I was going through this blog and reading old posts, and right there, November 2, 2009 I proclaim “I don’t ever intend to own a Kindle; I just really like the feeling of a REAL book in my hands.” Oh, things change so quickly.  Because now I DO own a Kindle, and I love it, [...]

General Update

So . . . as always I begin my blog with an apology to myself.  I work too much, it’s true. But that’s finally FINALLY starting to even out a little, helped enormously by the fact that I was able to hire a proofreader to do some my work so that I can do some [...]

The dream I had

I haven’t kept up with my blog but I’m here now for the express purpose of relating the incredibly weird dream I had. It went like this: Andie MacDowell and Natalie Portman were at a park. Or something. I don’t know who started it, but they started arguing. As a way to make her point, [...]

A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood

Last week I went to see A Single Man starring Colin Firth.  I had read the book in college (Gay and Lesbian Literature, an awesome, albeit depressing, class) and remembered I liked it. However, I had forgotten most of the details of the plot. Which I’m sure lent itself to my enjoyment of the movie.

Checking in

My poor blog.  Alone, unloved, unwanted. I wish this could be a cooler update . . . I’m still working at “the job.”  I’m still a temp for almost a year now.  I finally got a half-assed job offer from the company to work for them, but still as a temp.  It’s just a way [...]

Science Fair embarrassments

I have no clue why I just thought of this, other than the fact that I’m often involved in strange conversations at work. I’ve participated in exactly one science fair.  I don’t remember what my subject was, though I’m certain I didn’t plan it well and whatever “experiment” I did was crap.  I’m not a

The planet

I’ve apparently fallen off of it. The temp job I started in November is still happening.  I got a promotion in January, working for the VP of my department. I’m kind of in love with my job. I work on Production Metrics and training, and where I used to just take the guidelines and build [...]
