Nanowrimo Nerves

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 30, 2006

I’m getting anxious about Nanowrimo. My idea came to me late this year–late as in yesterday night. It’s a good idea–a very good idea, I think–but it’s so undeveloped. By this time last year, I had the whole shooting match laid out in my head.
Here’s what I’ll tell you guys about it: it involves fairy [...]

Working with Friends

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 26, 2006

Throughout the years, I have learned a lot about working with friends. Some, you can really get a lot done with. Others, you love to death as people and detest as co-workers.
Of course it’s sticky and unpleasant when you have to reprimand your friends who are also your co-workers. But if you’re not going to [...]

On the Market

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 25, 2006

Well, Tom’s on the market now. You know how it is. Sometimes a job is okay, but you need more than okay. Plus, although we have a lot of good friends here, the climate in the department seems as if it may be shifting in a way that’s not a great fit for our personality [...]

My Hero!!

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 21, 2006

Well, it’s that time of year again–pumpkin carving time! Later today some friends are coming over and we’ll carve, carve, carve.
So in honor of said occasion, it’s time once again to bring out Mr. Barfing Pumpkin. He’s been making the rounds on the internet since something like 1945, and he never looks a minute less [...]

La Chance a Das

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 20, 2006

That means “The luck of Das”, who was apparently a very unlucky fellow in my dad’s hometown. Instead of saying things about Murphy’s Law, they said “La chance a Das” when things were ironic in a bad way.
Anyway, I’d like you to think back to the last time you actually WANTED to attend a [...]

My eyes hurt and Halloween

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 16, 2006

They do. I’ve been using them for too many real tasks–reading, drawing, you know. I need to have like, one week solid where I do nothing brainy with my eyes. Just use them to navigate around the world, you know?
I’m getting ready to throw a Halloween party with my friend Emily. It’s for Sigma Tau [...]

NEVERMIND!!

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 13, 2006

Alright, as soon as I decide to quit blogging, I have something to blog about, and here it is:
Why are none of you people on Facebook?? Is it not the hugest thing at your schools? Our students love it. LOOOOVE it. They’re hesitant to add professors as friends, but they know if you have a [...]

Nope, not gonna happen

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: October 12, 2006

Well, after a short stint back in the blogosphere, I find that I once again haven’t got the motivation to continue it. I guess I’m just in a blog funk.
So long, and see ya later!
