So I've been on campus for a bit today, put in an hour or so over in Pepper and have just settled into my cubicle over in Psych for the rest of the day...only to find no music loaded onto my iPod!?! This would be so upsetting if: I watched it update. WTF!?! Is my trusted and loved iPod mini dead? I recently reformatted it and it updated last week just fine. FUCK.

I've been kicking around the idea of an area shirt for the cognitive grad students here, but with a personalized front that kind of gets at the lenses/goggles we need to use when looking at various articles, empirical evidence we see, and who to try to channel when we are writing prospectuses/articles/theses/dissertatio
You would personalize the front in a What Would Advisor's Initials Do? format. For us I was thinking that we could try wear them as an area on Fridays when we have our bag lunches...or anytime really. It could use a little tweaking. I'd really like to get my hands on the department logo instead of a university one. The backs can be preprinted, but we'd have to personalize the fronts ourselves. Would you find this funny? Offensive? Would you order one (if school colors and department logos were appropriate)?

Posted using TxtLJ Currently I'm spending my work-from-home day (and conincedentally the Jewish New Year - What a bad Jew I am!) reading journal articles and drinking margaritas at a local Mexican restaurant (and my favorite one in Tally) while the mechanics two doors down give my car new (and expensive! - Who needs a massage?) breaks. *sigh* ***Edited because my fucked up phone and Txt LJ failed to bring you the whole truth in one coherent post! |

Meme taken from ihave_themoonHere is how it works: copy this list. Leave in the bands you've seen perform live. Delete the ones you haven't and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. An asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list. Three asterisks etc... 1. U2

My early morning clearheadedness, note taking, and ideas that were to be put to good use this afternoon were hardly utilized after all. First, there was a storm that knocked out the power for a good hour. Then, an actual neighbor has decided to move into the other townhouse that makes up the duplex in which I dwell. That alone wouldn't have been a big deal, but the lawyer and owner cannot find the key and have been sitting in the driveway for hours, their only cell phone has died and I've had to lend mine to help get the locksmith(s) to come and drill the lock.

Hello All! As ususal I have been no-so-good about the updating as of late and (also as usual) I promise to try to make more with the post-y post-y. I have missed you so and have been trying to keep up with my lj reading, but have fallen behind. Please forgive me and if there is something I should have read do direct me to it right away. July is shaping up to be Potteriffic! The weekend before last was centered around the OotP movie release. This past weekend I made the short trek to Gainesville so that This morning I am back home in Tally with loads of actual work to get done, but more on that later.....

Well folks, this is a first for me......as not only have I not had time to post, but I have not really had time to read LJ either. Usually I am lurking in the shadows reading and staying up to date on everyone. I'm working on catching up, but if there is anything uber important that I should know about please do tell! robvangrahamand I just returned from Mexico late Sunday where we attended his brother's wedding. The travel was long, but for the most part it was smooth sailing. The ceremony/party on Saturday was excellent complete with fun, family, friends, tequilla, food, dancing, family singing, and a mariachi band. Ole! Valentine's was lonely. It was the first Valentine's in 6 (beginning 2002) that I did not get to spend with Graham, but driving to G-ville or Tally the day before we would be embarking on our journey to Mexico seemed silly. Still..... I am not doing what I really want to do for my Master's Thesis, because I'm being respectful of my Advisor that is leaving and has invested 2 years in me. I will however still do the applied memory and emotion project I want to do after Advisor leaves. I think it has the promise to be very sexy. I feel really isolated these days. I want more than ever to be in the same place as Graham so that we can truly start our lives together. It's that whole "When Harry Met Sally" thing....when you know who you want to spend the rest of your life with, you don't want to wait anymore, you want that life to start right NOW! I miss having my friends close. I'm stuck in my own head waaaaayyyy to much. I need to get out go shopping, have coffee and dinner and be generally silly, but I haven't had any time to make it back to Orlando due to school being so insane right now.

Five years ago, on a date in October sometime around now I turned on my ancient desktop computer(a 386 w/8MB of RAM), loaded AOL and heard three little words that changed my life forever - "You've Got Mail". My inbox was cluttered with spam and the most curious e-mail entitled "Diet coke Ryan? Key Club Ryan?" (please forgive me if the order or the title isn't quite right) from classmates.com. I immediately clicked on it and was shocked to see an inquiry from a very unique individual from my past. We'd met one fateful day at a district caucus for Key Club that did not elect me Lt. Governor (you see - everyone hated me - even some of my own MHS members). I remembered going to a movie and a junior prom with him. I also remembered going to FPCHS to see him perform in the musical Godspell and another play that was much like Our Town. I was flattered that he still thought of me at all and was curious enough to drop me a note. Well, I replied to that e-mail and the rest is my very own love story. Before I knew it, he had replied back and included his phone number. I dialed with butterflies all a flutter in my stomach and when he came on the line his voiced washed over me like a warm ocean wave. We talked for hours. Over the few weeks and two months that followed we fell more and more into each other. Christmas Eve of 2001 we saw each other for the first time in 9 years (I'll save that story for later) and he is still the best Christmas present I've ever gotten. The night could not have been more perfect. Graham could not have lived up to my expectations more - he even exceeded them. I still, to this day get butterflies in my stomach every time he takes me in his arms (especially when he is aggressive about it) and kisses me.

I know how you all love memes, but this is just to help me get back in the old LJ saddle. There is lots to update, I just never seem to make myself sit down to get it all out! So, for the sake of getting words on my paper, here goes.... 3. One book you’d want on a desert island: 4. One book that made you laugh: 5. One book that made you cry: 6. One book that you wish had been written: 7. One book you wish had never been written: 8. One book you’re currently reading: Because I am that much of a geek for what I do..... The Seven Sins of Memory - Daniel L. Schacter 9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: Stardust - Neil Gaiman 10. Now tag three people:

The doggies are fed and have spent sufficient time in the yard this morning. Instructions, pills, and treats in place for teleject to take care of them tonight and tomorrow morning before some plane whisks him off to some destination unknown. I'm off to Orlando in search of good hair and good food! Early tomorrow morning I head to Daytona to see the grandparents - my grandpa just got out of the hospital (he had a clot in his leg) and I can't wait to see him! We shall have breakfast at Bertie's and visit a bit as I have not seen them for more than 10 minutes since just before Thanksgiving. It really is weird living so far away from them. Tomorrow afternoon I shall head for Gainesville and hope to see robvangraham if only for a few minutes. Then back to Tallahassee to finish getting ready for the classes and students that will descend upon me Tuesday. *PHEW* I'm tired just thinking about it. Well, off to the Bugmobile!
