Saturday Reality Check by Louis C K

New Boy, Conferences, Laptops

Hey all,

Sorry I missed you while I was down in D.C. all y'all. It was a kind of stressful Sunday for me, and I didn't make it down to my parents house until almost 11:30pm. Around the time I was going to leave, I stopped by Cornell to pick up my laptop - only to find that it had grown legs or wings or SOMETHING and migrated to not-in-my-possession ever again. Blegh. The worst bit was that all of my research was on said laptop, with no backups, so I'll be playing catch up for the next month of so trying to recreate all of my examples and papers. Awesome.

Okay... So that was the bad stuff. The good stuff - already got another laptop. My parents decided that, because at the moment I am way to broke to afford another laptop myself, they would be willing to buy one for me. Score. And copious quantities of gratitude, because if they hadn't done that I would be ten steps FURTHER away from finishing my research, writing up papers, and graduating.

Well, I would talk about the new boy right now, but he's sitting across from me so that seems like a bad plan. Cya all soon!

Science Friday

Gwyn and I went to NPR's Science Friday live from Bailey Hall at Cornell this afternoon. It was a delightfully educational experience! Gwyn already knew that onions and raisins are bad for dogs, but I learned quite a few new facts! It was cool to think that if I screamed really loudly I might be heard nation-wide. And then thrown out. But lots of people would hear me being crazy! Just a fun thought. Woo hoo for nerd time!

Visiting Maryland

Hey folks! This weekend is my fall break, but I have to work until Saturday night, so I'll be back down in Maryland the (late) evening of this Sunday... Are any of you game for hanging out Sunday or Monday night?

Lemme know! I miss you guys! I'll admit, I don't really have any new stories to share with y'all (been working a lot, started going back to the gym, started making moon eyes at a new-guy-who-doesn't-know-I'm-alive... And that's been my whole time!) ...But that being said, I'd love to hear YOUR stories!

Hopefully see ya soon!

Hey guys, I finally had some chicken again last night!!! It was good if not a little bit overrated. I think I ate at least 5 chickens. Mostly delicious and I especially enjoyed the chicken salad! I was very excited about the chicken. That is all.

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Jane :)

I hope you had a great day!

That cake is adorable.

One of these days, you, Gwyn, and I need to have a joint party. It would either be a catastrophe or amazing...either way, it would be epic :)

Love you! Happy Bday, again :)

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

I hope you and Trevor are having a wonderful time celebrating together. I miss you, and I'm thinking of you on your special day!
