“Insert Catchy Title Here” or “What I have been up to lately”

I didn’t realize that I hadn’t posted anything in the last three weeks! I suppose it is a combination of not having much to say, and laziness (who doesn’t get stuck in the end of winter rut?). Things are starting to look up – with more sunny days and less looming snow days. I amContinue reading ““Insert Catchy Title Here” or “What I have been up to lately””

The Perils of Editing

I am doing some editing work, and so, have been spending many hours learning the rules behind the things I write instinctually, so that changes can (or cannot) be made. What one learns quite quickly in editing, is that there is rarely any hard and fast rules that govern grammar and punctuation with an ironContinue reading “The Perils of Editing”

Productive 24 Hours

Attended a talk last night given by Katherine Hayles – I was in no mind to be critical, but rather just enjoyed hearing something new that I haven’t really thought about. Attended TAG’s open house today- it was a nice opportunity to see some old familiar faces and chat with a few new people (andContinue reading “Productive 24 Hours”

Writing Rituals

So, I have been sitting in front of my laptop for the last few days, working on my thesis proposal, typing a word here, a phrase there (I am about 1/4 of a way through being finished …). I have been trying to think of ways to get myself into that super-fiend-work-mode that I findContinue reading “Writing Rituals”

Working Through The Process

I am working (read: struggling) through writing my thesis proposal. In theory, it shouldn’t be as difficult as it currently is. I have five sections that I need to write on over the span of 7,500 words; problematic, hypothesis, justification of corpus, state of the question (lit review) and theoretical framework/methodology. Simple enough – asContinue reading “Working Through The Process”

Another Month That Just Flew By! (Or: another unfinished to-do list)

I can’t believe it is February already! I feel bad that each month, I write about being astonished – but – it is crazy when the days on the calendar seem to slip by you without you even noticing! I am sad that I didn’t get everything on my to-do list accomplished. I did manageContinue reading “Another Month That Just Flew By! (Or: another unfinished to-do list)”

I, Avatar: Reading Review in Progress

I am reading the book I, Avatar: The Culture and Consequencese of Having a Second Life – yet another book that has been sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, and I was struck by a few things. First of all, I am really enjoying it so far. To be honest, when I firstContinue reading “I, Avatar: Reading Review in Progress”

Getting On Pace

I can’t believe that we are already nearing the end of the month! How fast time flies. It seems that I am still recovering from the holidays – the holiday pace that is. The plan for this semester looks fantastic on paper – gym every morning (now that I am not attending classes), home, shower,Continue reading “Getting On Pace”
