Minor Update

Ok, so apparently the last post went through, so now I'm doing an update to the links. I have added my friend Jeff who is studying in Norway for the next 9 months. I am jealous, but he has had to cut out beer and meat because everything is soo expensive in Norway, so I can't say that I am 100% jealous.

But on that topic, I am trying to cut down on the beer and meat. Some of you may have noticed that the last couple years of grad school have not been to kind to my previously svelte physique, so I am trying to cut the portion sizes, eat more seafood, and exersice more. I don't own a scale, but I feel better already so I guess that counts for something.



Now in the spirit of Mr Wall, I'm going to bitch a bit.

Why do landlords not write information on the for rent sign? Tell me how many bedrooms, how many square feet, and the cost. That way I don't have to call and bother you if it isn't what I'm looking for. And when I call, call back!! I've been talking with friends that are also hunting, and the consensus is that if you call 15 numbers, one or two will call you back. But the for rent signs stay up, so its not that the places have rented out. I don't understand.


Thank you, have a good day.

ps, why will blogger not let me upload images?
I have been chastised by multiple people multiple times for not blogging, and rightly so. I see it has been a month since my last lame post.
Well you won’t get much more tonight. As always I am at a CafĂ©, and the connection tonight is really slow.

Bullet point update:

Still looking for an apartment, which is why I haven’t set up internet at home yet. First I need to sort out the finances so I can determine how much I can afford in rent.

Went kayaking this weekend and loved it. I would love to get a used kayak, but again the finance question, gotta weigh the needs and wants.

Planning on a trip to CO on my free flight voucher from the Christmas bump. From now on I will jump at the chance to give up my seat for a free ticket.

Work is going great. Some days are a little more stressful, but only because I am doing stuff I’ve never done before, so it’s a good stress.

Went to a concert tonight, Dar Williams. It was at the zoo, lots of kids. I think it’s the sort of thing I would love if I had kids and couldn’t have a social life anymore (sorry Woodys, but I’m sure you’ll be the cool parents).


ALL OF THAT WAS WRITTEN THE OTHER DAY...
but I couldn't post it because either Blogger or the internet connection at the cafe wasn't working, not sure which.

I rule the science world
