I couldn't get to sleep, didn't sleep well when I did. I did pass a lot of the time not-sleeping by reading the new Stephen King book, but it wasn't the cause so much as making the wakefulness less torturous....

Punishingly Intricate
Thanks everyone. My friend at Hopkins says he has the best kind of case to bring there--odd, so the brainiacs will be spending a lot of time thinking about him.
In other news. I burned the heck out of my left arm pressing my beautiful, cruel french press this morning. I love it but it has got to go now. Ow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ouch lisah. Coffee should not be so cruel.
Speaking of, I should go make some.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, awesome -- the other thing I was obsessing about was having said the wrong things in my phone interview the other day. But I got an email asking for an in-person interview! Hooray. The place is kind of logistically awkward (in VW's old neighborhood, actually), but the job sounds really interesting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Stupid monday.
YAY Jesee.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have ceased having a Monday, and have started on Tuesday.. It was a net good day, I think -- I gave up on the treatment I was trying to give my GARCH assignment and decided to settle for a much simpler approach. (The approach I was trying to take looks extremely useful, but I don't have anything like the time it'd take to get my head around it.)
Oh, and I've been seeing a personal trainer at the local gym for the last couple of months. Today was the first day I really felt a difference. Very happy about that. (Less happy about the leg raises, but still.)
Of course, I'm still out of work, so my Mondays are bound to be different. Mixed blessing, that. I'll need to search for a new position in earnest once exams are over.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Definitely a Monday.
But I did just find out that our department is having a "winter happy hour" which is unexpected enough these days, but it's going to be held in Bruce Wayne's penthouse from the last Batman.

Oh man, today is officially Tino-day. We have a lot of whining going on and potty time has been a fail this AM. Also, my nose is extra runny and I've been up off and on since 11:30 PM last night.

Swanky! Watch out for Two-Face, though.
