I am not at all the same person I was when ... http://leaena.com/2009/11/seemed-so-out-of-context/ This is going to be the start of something new. I'm going to attempt to photograph Jack every week, or post old pictures of him that haven't been posted before. At least it gets me posting something... http://leaena.com/2008/12/weekly-dose-of-jack-01/ A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.  -Lemony Snicket I had a nice long talk with my dad today. It seemed appropriate for my birthday to be talking about ... http://leaena.com/2008/11/wonderwander/ So, NaNoWriMo has not been going at all well for me.  I haven't reached my target word count for the past three days.  I had a paper due this morning and watching CNN took up all my evening last night.  May I just say, in as subdued a manner as ... http://leaena.com/2008/11/geeky-noveling/ I have a paper due Wednesday and I'm not done with the spreadsheet for my professor, but I've written some of my NaNoWriMo novel.  I haven't gotten as far with it as I want to, but ideas are buzzing around my head and I'm feeling pretty good about this novel, ... http://leaena.com/2008/11/procrastination-or-justifying-writing-a-novel/ So my roommate has been talking about doing NaNoWriMo and I have been thinking about doing it as well.  I'm currently not exceptionally busy and most of my busy work is on the computer - I'm currently organizing data for my current prof's research into dental caries and mostly that just ... http://leaena.com/2008/10/cheating-a-little/ Yesterday we had a scare of the cockroach variety.  There was only one and because of the amazing job Lindsay does on cleaning up after my slightly messy self in the kitchen I have large doubts that they have taken up residence in our apartment (stupid un-clean neighbors).  However I ... http://leaena.com/2008/10/things-i-must-do-before-too-long/  So my life this week has consisted mainly of knitting and sitting in front of the TV. It has been a nice change from the 40 hour work week and the constant time with family (just kidding guys... but not about the work week). Jack has been enjoying himself as ... http://leaena.com/2008/09/the-calm/ This week I have been ignoring all responsibilities and not even looking at HTML code in favor of something more tactile.  I've been crafting.  I have a newfound love of cross stitch as it is the perfect counterpart to pixeling.  In fact I'm currently pixeling some ideas for cross stitch ... http://leaena.com/2008/09/tangled/ Side note: I can never remember where the accent goes in that word. Also I can never remember the correct button combination to get said accent to show up magically instead of having to be a cheater and copy-pasting from somewhere else. So the whole lack of a database connection happened ... http://leaena.com/2008/08/deja-vu/
