BLUE STEEL!!

Wow! This is my first legitimate blog entry in quite some time!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and festive Thanksgiving Holiday, full of overbearing and uncomfortably difficult family memebers as we all know that this is the time of the year when we give thanks for having 364 other days when we don't have to deal with them... Unless you're Anne. Sorry, Anne. You're SOL.

Anyway, I'm absolutely missing my uncle's deep fried turkey. My god. That stuff is better than crack! I miss that turkey even more than the pie. And I ate the equivilent of half a pie on Thursday too...

Other than that, things are pretty slow. I'm been spending a bit of energy on the whole 'finding a job in a state with America's 49th worst state economy and 50th worst unemployment rate' thing. Lots of fun. However, I do hope that I will have some positive news to report back on this upcoming week!

Attending a pretty nice dinner banquet for my Alma Mater. It's UM-Flint's 50th anniversary this year, so my former dept. invited all the former students, staff, and faculty back for a party. It was really good getting to talk about the last 4 years with some of the old crew. Really very theareputic. And, of course, Will Marsh was in attendence and it was good to see him, even though it hasn't been that long. As the founder of our dept. the man is absolutely--and deservedly so--revered. It's amazing.

Also, I thought it'd be fun to get out the winter gear today and do a little photoshoot. Despite the fact that it was over 50 today and not a drop of snow was in sight. It's been downright pleasant the last week. Unfortunately, this'll probably be the last time this stuff gets used this season...













My GOD I'm cute!
And humble!

What is the greatest invention of all time?



I can't tell you what the greatest invention of all time is... Soap? Antibiotics? Agriculture? Impossible to say. In my lifetime, though, it's obviously the personal computer.
