About Me

Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
I am an unrepentant dork currently pursuing a master's degree in Information Science. I graduated from UNC in 2006 with a degree in Ancient and Medieval History, and I've been enjoying the benefits ever since.

Wam, Bam, Thank You Fam...

Still participating in the yearly Cline Christmas Crusade.  Sitting with the guys in Charlotte watching the Panthers playing the New Orleans Saints.  Just installed Google Chrome.  Looking at archaeological field schools for the summer 2009.  Also been looking up cars, art tablets, and I forget what.  A tad annoyed that my "W" key isn't working every time I hit it.  My cousin Cindy just showed up.

Been doing the whole archaeology thing up in Pennsylvania.

Someone's having trouble with health insurance.  Not sure what to do about things: about work, about school, about women, about my family, about my grandparents, about the economy.

I feel better when I'm actually getting stuff done.  I've got a whole to-do list typed up on my computer.  Having a hell of a time figuring out how to best organize my information.  Some sort of hush-hush drama transpiring, about which my Father seems completely oblivious.  I'm typing on my computer and can still see what's going on.  Cindy's off to Taco Bell.  

Oh well, a random time to be posting, and a random series of comments.

Seek and Ye Shall Find

Back on the job search again. Reminded how frustrating web interfaces can be. Amused at having a dozen web browsers open at the same time. Attended trivia night at Linda's last night. Failed to significantly contribute to the team. Did succeed in identifying which Mario Kart characters have consistently appeared throughout the series. Caught the last of the Palin speech as I walked in the door last night. Sound bites (bytes?) and equivocation. Have scant minutes before I ought to dash off to fighter practice. Definitely need the exercise. Guilt over repeated personal failures.
