About my Sperm

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

One of my best friends just asked me, in all seriousness, if I would donate sperm for her and her partner to have a child. While this has been an abstract discussion between us in the past, it’s no longer abstract. They’re ready to have another child (the first two are the result of my [...]

Several topics for the price of one entry

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Research Efforts You know, digging into the amount of research I need to do regarding law school makes me wonder if I should be pushing to get admitted in Fall ’08 or Fall ’09. If it were just a matter of applications and LSAT, I think I’d be okay with 6ish months to pull it [...]

Editing and Blogging

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Another busy day filled with editing. Today’s pet peeve is unnecessary capitalization, which runs rampant in the business community. Business titles, department names, project names, degrees, and workshop/presentation titles… nobody seems to understand when it is appropriate to capitalize and when it isn’t. The true test of my skills, though, came from alphabetization of the [...]

Book review: The Music of Razors

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I just finished reading The Music of Razors by Cameron Rogers. Interesting book, and such a great concept that I can’t believe no one has thought of it before. You’ve read fallen angel stories before (or at least seen movies), but not quite like this. According to traditional Christianity, the devil used to be an [...]

I should find ways to distract myself from a 10 hour days of proofreading

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Considering that a large chuck of my friends list has posted death threats if anyone spoils them for Harry Potter 7, I don’t particularly feel the need to repeat the warning. I will, however, be locking myself in over the weekend and leaving the computer in the “off” position. My goal is to finish reading [...]

Nothing important

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

I was at my local video game store earlier today. How much of a geek am I that I really want to buy a Wii now just so I can play the new Harry Potter game with real wand waving action? Although there really isn’t space in my room for it and I’d probably really [...]

Harry Potter

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Just got home from HP&tOotP. It won’t be making the top of my list for favorite Harry Potter film, but it was a solid movie and very well done considering they had to cram seven billion pages into a mere two and a half hours. The thing I was most disappointed in wasn’t the changes [...]

Oops, they did it again.

What is it with Florida Republicans and inappropriate man-on-man sex? (Which is entirely different from appropriate consensual man-on-man sex between adults in private locations) All told, this is turning out to be a very bad decade for Republicans and sex scandals. Payback for the Clinton impeachment, if you ask me.

Poor Me

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I’m so pathetically broke right now that I’m having cup-of-noodles and a can of tuna fish for dinner. Not to worry, I’ve got a check coming my way tomorrow (reimbursing me for monies I spent in the line of duty, which is why I’m so pathetically broke right now). If I were a more uppity [...]

Can you dodge these bullets?

Monday, July 9th, 2007

I got a raise today. It’s not overwhelming, but totals a little over $100/month. Mid-year salary adjustments are *not* common at my office, so I do appreciate it, even if it’s not much. One of the security guards at our building was mugged and stabbed last week. Apparently, he got knifed in the kidney and [...]
