Care and Feeding of an East Coast Liberal: September 2007

http://alexmegami.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Care and Feeding of an East Coast Liberal. 11 September, 2007. A lot of these, you'll probably notice that I go for people that starred as couples in movies, or who had great chemistry together (IMO) onscreen. Speaking of Heath Ledger movies, people that have been his co-stars:. Dear Jake Gyllenhaal: thank you for fucking up my dreams FOR MONTHS. Also, Jena Malone is pretty cute. Laura Fraser and Alan Tudyk! Unsurprisingly, Alan Tudyk also shows up here:. The cast of Firefly. Yes, the entire. John Abraha...

Care and Feeding of an East Coast Liberal: October 2006

http://alexmegami.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Care and Feeding of an East Coast Liberal. 16 October, 2006. Does anyone know offhand if there are any feminists that have specifically dealt with issues relating to sports (and I don't mean necessarily the female athletes themselves getting paid less, less airtime, less sport options, but more. an actual analysis of what makes up sports)? I think I'm phrasing myself badly, and I'm going to hit Google after dinner. But if anyone has links at hand or articles in mind, I'd love to see 'em. Free the Jena 6.

Peanut Butter Cabal: Weirdness scale

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007/07/weirdness-scale.html

Friday, July 27, 2007. I'm polling you guys on this one. How weird is it, on a scale of 1 to 10, if one of your officemates:. 1 completely totally ignores the standard "don't talk to me" signs such as wearing headphones, typing away at lightspeed, staring intently at your computer, and/or resolutely ignoring her as she chirps your name, until ignoring becomes impossible and you are forced to answer a burning question like "What's the web address for Google maps? Elli's head: "try Google". About a deadlin...

Peanut Butter Cabal: okay, I lied: RBoE

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007/07/okay-i-lied-rboe.html

Friday, July 27, 2007. Okay, I lied: RBoE. I said I'd start writing more regularly, and then all hell broke loose. I really have no reason to suspect that said hell will quit breaking loose, but at least it's all getting to be the GOOD kind of crazy. So I leave you with Random Bullets of Excuses:. Reading Harry Potter, of course! Got some totally awesome results in one of my projects and am currently writing the fastest journal paper of my life with Dr. Superwoman. Which rocks (yay authorship! Desperatel...

Peanut Butter Cabal: June 2007

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 29, 2007. Teh Tehsis: Post #1 of a zillion. O readers, tell me: what will I do wrong? There's no WAY I'm the first Ph.D. student to think "I already have an idea! I'll finish in four years! Tell me: what's going to derail me? Will I have the committee from hell? Will my field work fall on its face? Will I get SCOOPED? I figure if I know what might happen - if I know what the typical roadblocks are - it might give me at least a little extra time to prepare for and accomodate them. You don't p...

Peanut Butter Cabal: Elli unleashed

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007/08/elli-unleashed.html

Wednesday, August 29, 2007. De-lurking from the blogosphere to try and get a non-studying-for-quals life back. However, right now everything I'm doing is funneled into one of the hoops I must jump through for grad school. The studying, the running, the whole grain dinners, the yoga, is all good and healthy and oh-virtuous-me, but it's all pointed towards "pass your qual". I have scientific ideas that I'm excited about and would like to pursue, and that have been put completely. Please email me back.

Peanut Butter Cabal: a fantastic no-work-allowed day

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007/07/fantastic-no-work-allowed-day.html

Monday, July 9, 2007. A fantastic no-work-allowed day. Finally hit her stride and bopped of to do a bunch of work on her own. And yesterday I clicked "Submit" on my paper! On top of that there have been lots of minor tiffs and snafus with research, my office, TB, and my upcoming move, and I've been working away on my latest presentation which is coming up in a week and a half. I woke up and actually managed to get myself out for a long run (4 miles - for me that's long! Sounds like a great day! Okay, I l...

Peanut Butter Cabal: Random Bullets of Summer - New People!

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007/06/random-bullets-of-summer-new-people.html

Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Random Bullets of Summer - New People! The summer students are here! I "have" two (each of my advisers has a summer student that I get to help): Pixie and Chill. Pixie is fantastic (and adorably tiny, hence the name) - she's very methodical, very sharp, is clearly happy to be doing her research, and has somehow been convinced that I am extremely cool. I actually advise. Is not a way to get on said grad student's good side. The rest of the summer students are cool. Pixie and a ...

Peanut Butter Cabal: March 2007

http://peanutbuttercabal.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 31, 2007. Dance of coding triumph*. I have just written a long and hairy computer program. ON THE VERY FIRST TRY! Take THAT, Evil-Archaic-Language-From-Hell! Biochem friend: "I have to run a poly-trans-methyl-thissy-thatty-whoserface-iptase this afternoon. What are you up to? Elli: "Poking a computer.". Thursday, March 29, 2007. Coming Soon: Talks, Teh Tehsis, and The Office Space Follies. How's the future lookin'? That are really preferable to have face-to-face. Sigh. 1) Talks. I am ...
