Getting rid of “home”

Wallaby — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:45:08 +0000

Finally saying good-bye to my first car this weekend. It’s about time, since I found a replacement for it a good six weeks ago and it’s been sitting in the parking lot ever since. (Oddly, it cost more to insure as a second car than it did when it was my only one. Weird.) I’d [...]

Happy New Year!

It’s really hard to go from this: to this: in 12 hours. Happy New Year anyway!

Long trip!

2100 miles, for “you wound up coming all this way for lunch and a movie?” That’s right. I did also see

I’ve felt rather unmotivated lately — particularly when it comes to updates here. Part of this is just a lack

Gonna set my feet on Southern soil

“Hardcore” conference day… went to the forensics talks and the poster session in the morning, couple random ones in the afternoon. It was the usual mix, about half interesting stuff and half not-so-interesting. The better forensics talks mostly focused on dogs as analytical instruments – which sounds odd, but they actually make very good “instruments”: [...]

I’m a couple days behind already, other days to follow as I catch up… eventually? Flight to Portland was uneventful, except for Mt. St. Helens erupting a little bit more halfway through. The pilot called our attention to the dramatic view of an irregular cloud of dust hovering on the horizon. So now I’ve seen [...]

“Blessed” with a little more rain

Looks like the hurricane-of-the-week is following Frances’ footsteps to my parents’ front door. Really, this

And suddenly I was driving

Wallaby — Tue, 27 Jul 2004 05:12:20 +0000

This week my parents and sister are traveling up from Florida to Virginia to visit assorted distant relatives. Dreamed about this last night. Funny how telling – or even remembering? – a dream can reshape it… I changed bits around very slightly to make it slightly more linear, and now I actually remember it that [...]

Random travel thoughts

Flew back today from home to school, despite the mono. Woke up feeling pretty perky, not too much headache, no signs of

Backdated. Sorry. Flew home for Christmas (yay!), it was a very good flight. Two of them, actually. Volunteered to get
