16:20 Boss, after I offered him a chance to read the dissertation before I turned it in: "As long as it's in English, you'll be fine." #fb #

17:19 There's something satisfying about citing yourself. And no, that's not a euphemism. #

11:32 boycotthouston.com thinks that Houston is the San Francisco of Texas? I'm flattered, but what about all those hippies in Austin? #
11:33 You guys can just stay out of our city; that's cool. It's not like you'd go anywhere other than the galleria and chain restaurants anyway. #
18:55 Disappointed with Brooklyn's Monster Ale. Thin. Like a barleywine-flavored beer instead of a barleywine. #

22:45 Weekend: spent time with my mom. Went to Boheme with @charhu. Got mistaken for gay couple. Worked on dissertation. #
22:52 Well, maybe about the gay part. I was asked if I was there with my boyfriend and had been sitting next to @charhu. So who knows? #

11:08 Another day of wrestling with EndNote & Word. It's like Jacob & the angel, if the angel was shitty software. #
11:44 Rearranging cables & components to get Xmas gift blu-ray player installed took a few hours, but holy shit *Up* looks disturbingly good. #

14:26 Thursday: UT game. Friday: @saintarnold tour, Ra happy hour, Marfreless for drinks. #
14:26 Have to say, Marfreless is a cool spot. Would have been good to know about in my single days... #
14:32 C & I cooked dinner last night: beet & goat cheese salad, raw broccoli salad, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled pork loin with pineapple pico. #
14:32 And watched *A Hard Day's Night*. Forgot how great it is. #

11:08 So Nintendo got my Wii back to me, and waived the repair charge. So I'm not quite as mad at them now. #
16:45 Ebert, on not eating: twurl.nl/lpbuce #
17:25 Can I call it "Ice-pocalypse '10" if there's no ice, just cold (for Houston) weather? #
19:26 Working on formatting the dissertation in Word. Urge to kill rising. #

04:14 Not only was my Wii bricked by Nintendo's incompetence, but they should have offered to fix it for free: twurl.nl/ixu7si #
04:15 (cue irate customer service-handling Ware making a phone call tomorrow) #
04:15 Also: back in Houston. Unpacked. Hung with @bexxxmix. Made prosciutto/cauliflower pasta, pozole. Nice to be home with a few days off. #

12:19 Sunday: errands, dinner with some of Cindy's friends that happened to be in town. #
12:20 Dinner was @ Berryhill, which in the past I've found depressingly mediocre, but the pork tacos this time were the best thing I've had there. #
12:21 Seems important to avoid the tamales, surprisingly. #
12:21 Yesterday: bullshit. Lots and lots of bullshit. #

02:26 Fuck Nintendo. Fuckin' incompetent ungrateful assholes. Make a product that isn't complete shit. I could make a better console. Fucks. #

16:47 Does Flash really need 60% of my CPU just to run Pandora? I'll be so glad when I'm rid of Flash. The day cannot come soon enough. #
