Went to Indianapolis this morning for lunch with J…I’ll let him have some semi-anonymity, despite the picture. We went to Shapiro’s Deli, apparently it’s kinda famous in this area. It was pretty good…my first real corned beef sandwich in a while. Mmm mmm good food, and good to see J. His theory is that people…

Went for a drive out to Brown County State Park this morning. I must say, it was rather breathtaking. Mid-October is the peak of the “changing of the colors” season. I can’t think of a more descriptive term for that. Basically, all the trees have changed from green to yellow, red, orange, or some mix…

Check out this company: Approtec Pretty cool company, me thinks. Perhaps if an internship opens up and I can get some departmental (or other) funding, I can do some work with them…just keeping my options open.

I’ve been waiting all day to write an entry. I should learn to just satiate my need to blog and get it over with. There is really no reason that I deserve this break. I have been working now for nearly 6 hours and have been able to produce a page and a half of…

“Jewish day of rest. Means I don’t work, I don’t drive a car, I don’t fucking ride in a car, I don’t handle money, I don’t turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don’t fucking roll!” -Walter, The Big Lebowski Control yourselves, the ‘f’ word is alright, as long as it’s in context.…
