Of pirates and scientists

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Because of a brief disappearance of my contraband wireless internet (hey, it’s not my fault my neighbors don’t secure their wireless networks), I’ve not posted anything since last week. Now the *ahem* free internet has returned, and I have many recent occurrences that need to be written about. These include a job interview at the [...]

It’s about time

Finally–I have landed job interview #3, after almost two months of nothing. Interview is Wednesday with the GA Dept of Natural Resources in the watershed protection division. Wish me luck.

A dirty post

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

I have recently rekindled a forgotten love for a television show: Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs.” While staying up late last night to chug water for my blood donation today (which, incidentally, never happened as my iron level was too low. Too bad, because I was really looking forward to those Nutter Butters), I flipped [...]

Mmm…dirt.

I’m in the middle of overhauling my blog, so if anything looks funny/ugly/weird, that would be why. I got tired of the canned templates that blogger offers, so I made my own. Let me know if you don’t like it or if anything is too hard to read.
On a random notion, I googled the term [...]

And the fork ran away with the spoon…

So I recently updated my Blogger profile (over there on the right–you can read the whole version if you click on it), and reupdated my “random question.” The random question is generated–randomly, of course–by Blogger. My previous random question was “That can’t be a fish you’re standing on, can it?” which was pretty relevant, considering [...]

Detergents, dancing, and dog-in-a-barrel

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Here are a collection of random thoughts in lieu of a regular, rambling entry.
I decided this evening that perhaps my most favorite smell may be detergent. Especially laundry and dishwasher powder detergent. It’s probably a good thing you can’t get high from sniffing a box of laundry detergent.
