Show no weakness
Posted by E-George on January 24, 2008
Matthew has been pretty good about calling me in the evenings around 9:00pm (9:30am a day ahead in India). Since neither of us are really chit-chatters, these calls don’t really exceed 5-10 minutes. Add to this that Matthew is calling me from his office location in India and is surrounded by his all-male [...]

Getting pampered with soggy socks
Posted by E-George on January 19, 2008
That may not sound great on the surface, but I’ll e’splain…. No. There is too much. I’ll sum up:
I am having the luxurious experience of having Stanley Steemer wash our carpets as I type this. The luxury connotation is merely derived from the tradeoff of not having to wash the carpets myself. For a little [...]

Girls Night Out
Posted by E-George on January 18, 2008
A great sushi dinner with Kerri and Amanda topped off with drinks at the Tucano’s meat rodeo. A great evening (despite the crippling cold).

2008
Posted by E-George on January 2, 2008
Resolutions? Not for me. I don’t like the idea of a new year’s resolution. It sounds more like a cleverly disguised cop-out.  I’m going to pursue my dietary status quo, perhaps with a bit more rigor, but other than that, much of 2008 has already been dictated in the form of work and school, leaving [...]

Home stretch
Posted by E-George on December 3, 2007
This is review week. Or, in the case of my circuits class, it’s new-material-and- one-more-homework-assignment week. A week from tomorrow I’ll take my final final, and this semester will be wrapped the hell up. And? And that same day will be packed full of all sorts of goodness, including [...]

Living with The Best Husband EVER
Posted by E-George on November 27, 2007
I should be studying right now, but I’m taking a break to interject my usual postings where I bitch endlessly about physics and school with one where I periodically brag shameless about having snagged the Last Great Man from the conveyor belt of bachelors.
In the Annals of Awesomeness, his picture hangs in that holy nÃcho [...]

Anniversary
Posted by E-George on October 23, 2007
Tomorrow is my parents’ 37th wedding anniversary. I want to emphasize the 37-year part. Especially in this era when many marriages barely make it to the 5-year mark.
What an achievement!  37 years of tolerating each others bizarre habits. 37 years of raising five children into productive adulthood (myself notwithstanding). 37 years of laundry, cooking, [...]

Bright Shiny and New
Posted by E-George on October 18, 2007
Through diligence, patience, saving, and gentle hints like, “I really need a laptop of my very own. You got a new PC. You also got a new job. I don’t have anything new. In fact, the last new thing I bought was pants. And, I paid for those myself. [...]

Holding it together, thanks to a plate of BBQ chicken
Posted by E-George on September 25, 2007
This is usually the point in the semester where I would normally abandon all semblance of a healthy diet in favor of indulgent “comfort” foods like macaroni & cheese, or Ramen noodles, or just plain ice cream with a spoon of peanut butter on the side. I would do this for a couple of [...]
