Click My Heels Three Times and Get In > Well now I've gone and made it all awkward

Posted 26 February 2012

So it was recently my mother's birthday. Like a good little offspring, I sent her a card and called her. My younger sibling, rebrobate that he is, forgot (or chose not to?), despite reminders from me and our dad. Alas. Now he's gone incommunicado and the current parental theory is that he's avoiding contact because he'd have to awkwardly a...


Click My Heels Three Times and Get In > A thought for the historically-inclined folk

Posted 06 February 2012

Every time I open up my email, google lays a bunch of judgement on me. I'm trying to write my emails, and there looming on the top/side/bottom of the page is google's suggestions...


Click My Heels Three Times and Get In > An Observation

Posted 23 October 2011

So, I've been pouring over the posts here for months (okay, so I don't know how much I've gotten out of the various science-y posts, but I'm reading them nonetheless), and I realized just today that I've totally drank the GradCafe koolaid. I've found this particularly true in read the frequent "what are my chances?" posts....
