Johnny has announced that he’s hanging up his blogging hat, and I’m going to ride on his shirt-tail and go on indefinite hiatus.
I’m not writing interesting posts. I’m not answering comments like I’d like. I have a small enough readership that this shouldn’t impact people much.
But the main reason is that I’m just [...]

“I get it! I don’t get it!”

South Park makes me cringe sometimes. This week’s episode, for example, was kind of a waste of 30 minutes. But I keep watching because, every so often, they have a really good one. Granted, my idea of “really good” generally involves a scary Cartman or a very pathetic Butters (preferably both at [...]
What keeps me going

This, of course:
But also a lot of this:
For the record, she looks just like her paternal grandmother in this picture.
Also, as a little bit of sunshine, I present you with MM’s latest work of art:
Elmo with horse and cowboy hat
You can’t make up that kind of thing.
What do you say?

There seems to be pain and unendurable suffering everywhere today.
Blacksburg isn’t too close to us; my sister lives closer, I think. But VA Tech students and alumni are all around, here, and this terrible news feels very close. NPR is conducting itself well enough in their reporting…I’m not so sure about everyone else.
I don’t know [...]
Interloper

I didn’t know of Snickollet, except by name in the comments of blogs we both seem to read, until I saw Sojournering’s posts this last week. I found her weblog the night before her husband died, and I’ve been reading her older posts ever since.
I always feel like such an interloper when I arrive [...]
An update of sorts…

Things finally, finally seem to be moving in a positive direction on the dissertation front, and for that reason (mostly) I’ve been a little too distracted to post.
I started transcribing the dissertation interviews I did in Japan lo these many years ago (not so many that they’re irrelevant, but more than I’d like), and it [...]
Going down…

No, not that kind of “going down.”
“Going down” as in “for the count.” I feel like I have a cold coming on, although it could be some new way for old allergies to manifest themselves. As a result, I’ve been running around today trying to clean house, get laundry/ironing done, and generally prepare to be [...]
We came, we saw, we conquered

So, we braved the National Cherry Blossom Festival yesterday. The blossom peak was last Sunday, but the weather was gorgeous and the petals were just starting to rain down yesterday, so it turned out to be a really lovely day.
It was MM’s first trip to DC; we took the train (”wheeeeeee!”), which starts out (for [...]
