The Lowdown

August 30, 2006

Ords are done . . . for now. We definitely have the polity ord facing us in the future since we didn’t take it this time. But with a lot of luck (and grace, and alcohol on the part of the readers) we might be done with the other three. We’ve set our expectations low, [...]

Sink Hole

May 4, 2006

I live in an old building that is unsafe for many reasons, not the least of which is the fire safety directions for those living on the top floor is to fill their bathtubs with water (whether it’s because they can then stay in the bathtub and avoid fire or because the writers knew they [...]

The Fat Man Walking

March 22, 2006

This is a very cool story - and website. Since it’s midterms and I’m spending my days cramming my brain with as much jesus knowledge as possible, I will leave you with this link and hope you enjoy . . .

Most Productive Day Ever . . .

March 11, 2006

Adam and I don’t always get the most work done when we’re together, which bodes well for living together next year and being in school . . . hmm. Anyway, we bucked that trend today by having the most productive day ever. We’ve been putting a few things off for quite some time now and [...]

An Experiment

February 28, 2006

It’s possible that I haven’t posted in awhile.
It’s possible that’s because I have very little free time in my life and what little I do have I choose to use watching Season Three of the Gilmore Girls (hello, can we say addicted) or doing crossword puzzles online (please refrain from the dork comments - it [...]

Breathing Lessons

February 12, 2006

Ann Tyler wrote a novel called  ‘Breathing Lessons.’ I don’t remember what it’s about, I’m not even sure I finished it, but I’m grateful for her choice of title.
The next seven days look horrible on my calendar. Things are double booked, there isn’t any white space, it’s unclear to me when the eating and [...]

Reflections

February 10, 2006

Thoughts on the first week of classes:

HALFWAY DONE!!! (that’s right, officially halfway through my masters degree)

we’re only one week done (yes, I live the in the tension of these first two facts . . . so close, and yet, so far)

Absentminded professors make class far more enjoyable. Especially when they lose the Bible they’ve set [...]

On My Way . . .

January 3, 2006

I had a cheeky little post written about how I’m leaving for Jamaica tomorrow for two and a half weeks for school credit. It included the lovely fact that the high temperatures in Kingston right now are around 85 degrees and the lows are around 78. It conveniently left out the fact that there are [...]

A Portrait of Middler Year . . .

November 15, 2005

It takes so little to push to the  brink doesn’t it? So little to send us to the edge – our toes curled over, our arms flinging, trying to fight gravity and utilize balance – doing our best not to fall off the edge. It take so little. An unexpected death. Dashed expectations. A packed [...]

Guest Writer . . .

November 10, 2005

We have a new campus newspaper - the first edition was today . . . I thought I would share one of the articles as I find it worthwhile and Adam said I could . . .
