June 12 of 12

Version 1.0, , , , , , , , , ,

What better way to kick off Friday the 13th than with 12 of 12.

My life’s pretty quiet now.  Translation: I’m bored out of my mind.  I didn’t leave the apartment yesterday (again), so several pics are of the TV screen.  God I love TV.

10:02am – Amy and I are trying to live a more eco-friendly, organic lifestyle, so she recommended this organic peanut butter.  I did a side-by-side taste test and the results are in: the MaraNatha peanut butter is delicious.  It tastes freshly homemade.  Amazing.

10:22am – They’re doing some renovations and repairs around the apartment complex, so I didn’t have water to wash my dish.  So to pass the time…

10:23am – I continued my Seinfeld-watching.

10:48am – As you can see, I’m making progress, moving on to the second disc of the penultimate season.

11:15am – I get an email saying that my dissertation has been approved by the Office of Graduate Studies and will posted online.  Horray!

11:23am – As I continue my morning online routine, I request official copies of my transcripts from my three schools.  Northwestern is the only school that has my mail a request form in by snail mail (thereby slowing the process).  Thanks to Loyola for sending transcripts for free.

11:24am – The transcripts I requested from LUC, NU, and FSU are all going to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at UMass Lowell.  It’s part of the “making-my-hire-official” process.

12:47pm – Givin’ Oreo some love.  She loves those nubby gloves I got.

2:25pm – WGN celebrated its 60th year of broadcasting Cubs baseball with a “throwback game,” which featured both teams wearing 1948-style uniforms and a black-and-white telecast complete with graphics of yesteryear (just for the first two innings).

8:10pm – I cooked dinner for myself, which is a rarity these days.  It looked better in person, and it tasted even better.

9:52pm – The way I see it, since I was feeling domestic, why not continue the trend?  Iactually washed my dishes.  Recognize the hat?

10:31pm – 2nd place in the 100cc Special Cup in MarioKart Wii.  I was leading the standings until the final race.  Two words for you: Rainbow.  Road.  God I hate that course.

May 12 of 12

Version 1.0, , , , , ,

It’s May already.  Heck, it’s almost halfway through May.  Yikes.

8:46am – Good morning world.

8:50am – Taking Oreo out for her morning business.  As usual, she’s eating something she shouldn’t be.

9:26am – Oreo and I still aren’t on the same page regarding her morning “routine.”  Thank goodness for Brawny paper towls, biodegradable poop bags, and the enzymes in PetZyme.

10:47am – I’ve got a bit of laundry to fold.

12:39pm – Getting my ass whomped in MarioKart Wii by Marty and Mike online.  Still, the game’s a ton of fun.

1:33pm – Somehow, Oreo manages to sleep through all my yelling at the TV.

4:31pm – I’m making my way through the Seinfeld series, episode by episode.  After some lunch, I fall asleep to “The Understudy,” the last episode in Season 6.

8:57pm – Mmm, pizza.

10:15pm – Checking in on the Cubs’ rout of the Padres while chatting with Mike and Marty.  We proceed to set up another round of MarioKart Wii.  Too fun.

12:57am – Washing dishes before calling it a night.

1:01am – Oreo standing at attention, waiting to go outside one last time before bed.

1:14am – One last check of email, one last round of mindless (yet completely necessary) chatting with Marty, and the posting of this entry.

Happy May!
