Words and things to do. I hit 25,000 last night. That’s the good news. The bad news is I think the novel will be over before I hit 50,000. Which means I might be going back through it and adding stuff to hit the 50,000 mark. I’m hoping to squeeze in a long session at…

On Monday morning, Mr. Geeky and I were riding to work together and he says, “You know, I think you could finish your degree.” He went on to explain how, mainly by switching topics and advisors. He also promised to do laundry. So I emailed a friend of mine back at my home institution and…

It hasn’t been a particularly tough week. Slow, actually, which might be worse. I’ve been tinkering with a few things, but haven’t had enough blocks of time to fully concentrate on anything. I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment with someone. We were supposed to meet Monday. First she cancelled and rescheduled. Then I had…

Mr. Geeky and I spent a romantic evening in bed reading PZ’s takedown of Scott Adams’ ID vs. Evolution rant. Adams’ response to PZ is even scarier than the original, if that’s possible. He’s written even more, which I skimmed this morning, but it looks just as bad. I was reading the response out loud…

Mr. Geeky called me yesterday and said, I’m reading some woman’s blog about “The Last Abortion Clinic” and she says that it was her idea to watch the show. When he got home, he said, I don’t remember anyone treating you badly. Your reality is a little skewed. Well, of course it is. I fully…

Nano writing is slowing down a bit. I made it over 20,000 today, but in theory, I should be at 25,000 by now. I’m not that worried. I still haven’t made it to the scene that will write itself. Almost there. It’s not that I’m tired of it. It’s just that there’s more going on,…

Sunday night I watched my tivoed Frontline episode, “The Last Abortion Clinic.” I was a seething ball of anger the entire time. I don’t think it was good for my health. Mr. Geeky kept patting my leg and saying, “I’m sorry I made you watch this.” Of course, it was my idea to watch it.…

When Mr. Geeky got the job here, I sat down with my advisor to tell her I’d be moving and attempting to work long distance on the Ph.D. (you all know how that worked out.) She said, “It’ll be interesting to see how you handle being the faculty spouse.” And I thought, Isn’t that what…
