It’s cherry blossom time again in DC; the festival opened this weekend, with rain showers on Saturday making it less than ideal for the festivities, although I am sure the sun we got on Sunday afternoon allowed some people to get a good look at the blossoms at the mall. There are a few cherry [...]

Glad that is done

Well, it’s one of the things expected of us in academia. We go and present papers. We go and listen to the papers of others. I admit, it’s not my favorite thing at all. I prefer reading papers myself, and talking about the implications with the author. But, it’s the way things are, and I [...]
I just hope I don’t get sick

For the past few months, our weather pattern has had more ups and downs than a roller coaster. 70 one do, 30 the next. It’s no wonder people get sick. And it seems right now, people are. Now would not be the best time for me to get sick. I want to be as healthy as [...]

Egads, I woke a little after 1 this morning, and couldn’t get back to sleep afterwards. I just hope I get an adrenaline rush to keep me through the day.

The video for the new U2 song is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOwH6IqwRqM — it cannot be embeded, so one has to click on the link to watch it). While I like the new U2 cd, I just can’t help but think this was the wrong song to use as the first single from the cd. The title [...]

I don’t know. But I have often noticed that when I am dreaming, certain words or thoughts, when I have them in the dream, suddenly bring me out of the dream and wakes me up. I don’t know if it is dream specific, if it is a one time event (since I don’t remember all [...]
Time Change, Never A Good Thing

Well, it happened quicker this year than ever before. Our clocks have changed again. Strange thing is, I expected to be able to “sleep in”, but I woke up early, making it around the same “time” as normal. But with less sleep. It will take a couple days to adjust I think.
Who Watches the Watchmen?

Many, many people. That is who. But, for those unitiated to the story, they need to realize: this film is vulgar, it is violent, it portrays heroes whose personal qualities make them to be more like villians than heroes, and much of the story is morally questionable. This is not to say there are not [...]

It’s still coming down, but will warm up and probably melt by the afternoon.
