Weirdest thing happened.

Two days now, can't seem to eat much. I don't feel sick, just tired. Which makes sense.

I just submitted a paper for approval to a workshop in Tokyo. If it is accepted, I get to go all expenses paid (thank you NSF Grant).

At this time I am taking applications for the ministry of funny walks!

Ni!

Twisted Ex Rears Ugly Head.

I have only had one ex out of all my relationships that I would consider twisted. Made lists for everything (why to do something, why not to do something). We broke up because her lists told her that me working in another state meant that she wanted to have sex while I was away, and after Katrina that she didn't...

I did something today, that I have done in quite awhile. I worked. It felt so good to get back into it.

For me, my research, is very close to reading a decent novel or looking at a painting. I have become enveloped by the language, and the story that PDEs can convey. The colours that come from graphing their models, illuminate my world. The...

Further procrastination attempts.

So today I woke up around noon, and started my day off right. I had a pint of chocolate stout, and a southern style brunch.

At some point, perhaps through some physical encouragement, I will get back in the rhythm of working, for now I will continue to enjoy myself. On the mix tonight is a Chocolate Stout with Baileys,

Things are quiet now.

Not much more to say. Going to go for a run, clear my thoughts, and try to get my mind back to work.

He passed at 1 am 6/26/09.

It was a long trip, empty roads, and few (if any) stops. I was hoping to make it before it happened. I was too late. I thought if I could move fast enough I could beat time. Childish, I know, but I refused to accept that I was racing death. I lost.

My lips are bound, my arms lie...

Beer, wholesome brewed sedative.

After dropping a few pints of ale tonight, I find my self somewhat at ease with the situation. I don't know if it is the beer, these blog posts (which are actually a first for me), or that I have gone through this so many times within the past few years (not to mention past month.) I appreciate the comments, the...

Each day a roller coaster.

As an undergrad in a different field I had always heard that stage 4 cancer moves quickly, but in the past two weeks my uncle's cancer has spread so rapidly. I can only hope that he holds out till I can make the trip to his home state.

After my father, and sisters passed away. My uncles essentially took over...

The long and winding road ...

I have been pushing the limits of my body and my mind for two weeks now. And, I am now going to rest. Work started at 8 am, and ended at 2 am. I have never worked on that kind of a time scale. It got so thick I couldn't tell if I was working on a biological model,...
