I just thought I’d mention, in case no one noticed, that I finally fixed the colors and pictures here and I also installed a groovy new progress plugin. It is called Progressfly, and as you can see, it uses css to generate progress meters for whatever you want. I was going to put James’s knitted socks in there, but I think I need to make some prioritized categories: somehow it would seem wrong to put a pair of knitted socks in the same column as my MA Degree. Or perhaps I’m simply egotistical.

I have to put in a word here for a couple of my favorite yarns. I run the risk here of exposing myself as perhaps more strange and obsessed with strange things than any of you previously suspected, but lately I feel the urge to express myself. So if I want to post about my favorite yarn, then by golly, that’s-a-what-I’m-gonna-do! Read the rest of this entry »

via Google, while searching for affordable binary watches. Why was I searching for affordable binary watches, you ask? Because I am not writing my paper on David Copperfield.

I do seem to be feeling much better. I stopped posting in October only to begin again yesterday, and here I am posting again! I was browsing yesterday and today looking for configuration instructions for a plugin I installed in October and promptly forgot about. (More on this later when I actually use it to generate content.) I read an article about how to bring readers to one’s blog with an aim to make money blogging, and the author insisted that one’s blog have “focus.” Read the rest of this entry »

Oh, and I suppose I have to admit that for a week or two, I was convinced I was possessed by demons. I guess if you know me well enough for you to be more than moderately or academically interested in the previous statements, then you should contact me via email or phone if you would like to know anything more about that. For anyone who has doubts, no, I haven’t been what people would consider “religious” for a number of years now. Enough years to be comfortable with that.

At any rate, I’m mostly enjoying my life. I wish I had more social contacts, and I won’t be graduating until May instead of March, but mostly life is good. Although there are some days I wish I had the credit to buy a large boat and become a pearl diver, or a studio and become a yoga teacher, or get certified and become a diving instructor… No, really. People don’t understand how close I am to really doing these things.

At any rate, I hope this has given you, the reader, an insight into who I am and what my life is like. Heh.
