In 8 Months I will be somewhere else. The kicker, I don't know where it is. I'm looking at 3-4 cities, and all in unfamiliar territory. I have decided to drop the current program, take a masters, and relocate for the PhD.

So, the list is Seattle, Chicago, Ithaca, Boston, and Providence.
With the first two having my tied #1/#2 choices for programs.

Should I...

That old familiar sting

I admit it, I am addicted to the act of getting a tattoo. The feeling it gives me is likened to sheer ecstasy. So far the outline is done, color/shading is next in 3 weeks. Center piece is a black bear, set against a hand drawn mountain/river scene. I may tie this in to a full back piece.

I have really...

multiple pints of Chelada and more tacos than should be humanly possible. Oh what a night, what a night indeed. Later today I get the outlining done for my new tattoo. Black Bear as the centrepiece, and letting the artist run with the rest.

Cooking

Well I woke up, and decided that I wanted to learn French cooking. I made crme brulee as my first recipe, and it was nice. Thinking I might try my hand at a full meal. Any suggestions?

Weirdest thing happened.

Two days now, can't seem to eat much. I don't feel sick, just tired. Which makes sense.

I just submitted a paper for approval to a workshop in Tokyo. If it is accepted, I get to go all expenses paid (thank you NSF Grant).

At this time I am taking applications for the ministry of funny walks!

Ni!

Twisted Ex Rears Ugly Head.

I have only had one ex out of all my relationships that I would consider twisted. Made lists for everything (why to do something, why not to do something). We broke up because her lists told her that me working in another state meant that she wanted to have sex while I was away, and after Katrina that she didn't...

I did something today, that I have done in quite awhile. I worked. It felt so good to get back into it.

For me, my research, is very close to reading a decent novel or looking at a painting. I have become enveloped by the language, and the story that PDEs can convey. The colours that come from graphing their models, illuminate my world. The...

Further procrastination attempts.

So today I woke up around noon, and started my day off right. I had a pint of chocolate stout, and a southern style brunch.

At some point, perhaps through some physical encouragement, I will get back in the rhythm of working, for now I will continue to enjoy myself. On the mix tonight is a Chocolate Stout with Baileys,

Things are quiet now.

Not much more to say. Going to go for a run, clear my thoughts, and try to get my mind back to work.
