Over the past couple of years, I've noticed my body becoming... scholarly like. I mostly attribute this to my sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise (ignoring the occasional hike). Tonight I went out to dinner with my heterosexual life partner (Don't laugh. He's closer to me then my brother), well call him Greg (because thats what he calls himself) to my favorite watering hole, the...

Relax. Look at your Hitchhiker's Guide. You have trained for this. You know where your towel is. Anyway, you should be used to ceremonial robes by now.

So, how does this defense work? Should I plan to visit the following weekend for celebration and/or comforting?
Since I turned in my thesis for my committee's "perusal" Ive not left the house. I have this sinking suspicion Ill have to leave tomorrow. I have a Halloween party to attend.
Unless I figure out worm-holes tonight. But since Im really just lazing around, drinking cran-raspberry juice and painting little figures, I dont really see that happening.
Meh.

Good luck with the thesis!!
cupidsvictim:
cran-raspberry? yuck! 
It is done.
144 pages of thesis goodness. I just realized that is one gross. Maybe there is a god...
In a fortnight I have to convince 5 PhD's that I'm as smart as they are. And then I'll be Dr. PogoJoe.
Assuming I pass.....

What are you doing?

look at this!
Today was my brother's 26th birthday, so I did alot of family stuff today. At some point my grandmother slipped 100 bucks into my bag with a card saying how proud she was of me, for working so hard on my thesis (one can only assume more is forthcoming when I actually graduate). It's kinda weird, from the inside looking out, a PhD doesn't seem...

I was too tired to even offer them some Kool-aid.

i don't know who did the rollins/NIN thing. i really wish i knew! i just downloaded it. perhaps it was just some dude who did it at home and posted it? well, i can send you a copy of the mix when i'm done if you want.
My thesis is due on wed. It will be done on time.
WITHOUT any weird, non-eucledian sanity warping rituals on my part. Cthulhu rests....
The cost of getting this thing done is of course the complete evaporation of my social life (well, except for shows and gaming ) and my complete inability to go camping this fall. I REALLY wanted to get down to Shenadoah...

whoa, that's a pretty concise rundown of the death of leaves.
i just prefer to think of autumn as summer in its death throes, all scientific explanations aside.

you're awesome! thanks for the suggestion of putting rollins on the mix. i forgot about him. and the tiger army song is going on there for sure. but what i really wanted to tell you is that i found this song that is FUCKING AMAZING. it's rollins spoken word "i know you" over NIN's "a warm place" (one of my all-time favorites) looped twice. it's gonna be the first song on the mix. when i first heard it, my head almost exploded. 
So I got to go see Social D and Tiger Army. I highly recommend this show. Now I may not be the pinnacle of coolness, but there are a few little rules I like to follow when I go to a concert
1. Dont wear that bands tee shirt
2. If you do where that bands tee shirt, make sure it is NOT a brand...

I got a fair amount done on my thesis tonight, but my stress level remains fairly high. That's kinda bad, because I checked my blood pressure tonight (YES I'm nuerotic) and it was really high. Its kinda good because fear of not getting it in on time (and the fear of sock puppet revenge) keeps me going... 
It should be smooth sailing to get it...

Didn't get to go to the show. I'm not sure what part of "trusting the junkie stripper to get the tickets" seemed like a good idea...
Ah well, I saved some money and got the last experimental chapter done. Now I just have to write my conclusion... let's see if I can get it done in under a page/year. Because THAT won't depress me!
