Labor day weekend included: a quick stop at a dance party, five more job applications, some bike rides, an outdoor Brooklyn flea market, two late brunches, Warioware for Wii Smooth Moves, birthday cake (not mine), and, obviously, hot dogs. David wanted to know if these counted for AHHAT activites, and I decided yes — the [...]
Category Archives: Blogging Blogging
3 paper jams, and 2 paper cuts. But I love my Mother, so I carried on with printing on the back side of scrap paper despite such obstacles. But more importantly, after clearing the second jam, as printing resumed, I thought to myself: Did somebody let a horse into the computer hub? Or did someone [...]
Not Proud
26-Aug-08I just did a quick read-through of this blog so far, and there are three mentions of hot dogs! I had no idea. I need to go to the farmer’s market and get some vegetables, stat. You would be able to do a search for “hot dogs” if this theme had a search bar, but [...]
Reasons to Leave Your Apartment
07-Jul-08I was a bit slow getting out of the apartment today, but it turned out to be perfectly timed, as I ran into two of my favorite blogging friends, WIAFLAW (playing hookie from work) and WISRMBAT (on a summer vacay visit), almost as soon as I stepped onto the street.

The group started as a way of [...]

If a Blog Falls in a Forest…
28-Apr-08Aim high indeed! Linked to by The Soc Shrine! But I wonder what this means for the Life Course of this blog. How does exposure on the internets correlate to aspirations, plans, and attainments? Over at cruciferous, Dean has posted and commented on a talk that addresses the “cognitive surplus” of blogging, suggesting that attention [...]
I’m My Own Worst Frenemy
23-Apr-08I can’t stop fiddling around with this blog. I’m obsessively adding things, fixing things, testing things, changing things. I thought it would help with my diss work by getting me to write on things I’m reading/thinking along the way, but that assumes I have any time left for diss work after all the blogging is [...]
