I stumbled (through Google Reader’s blog) today upon Wordle.net, a really awesome (free) site that enables you to imput text from any source (including blogs or webpages) and turn it into dynamic word art pictures with changeable fonts, colors, and styles. I experimented with two different texts. The first was Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I [...]

If you know me at all you know that I’m a big book person. But I’m also a music enthusiast — a casual one. I like a lot of pop — chick music, really — anything I can sing along to. I also like a lot of other things (musical soundtracks, lyricless film soundtracks, and [...]
So it’s snowing and we watched some crazy movie…

Today has been a lot better, generally, than Tuesday, mostly because Tuesday was my first day back from my official Spring Break and today was, well, Thursday. Thursdays are the equivalent of my Fridays this semester and… well. Let’s just stop there, shall we?
I had a good workshop experience today — yay for that! — [...]
Weather and Europe

Today the forecast is 76 degrees and sunny. Tomorrow it’s 49 and rainy. Later this week we’ll be in the mid- to upper 30s. What the hell, Pittsburgh? Apparently there are some communication issues. We’re supposed to be in the swing of spring, not back to February. It’s April! Yes, “April showers bring May flowers” [...]
Oh Utah…

How I wish I was back in Utah! It was gorgeous and tremendous fun. The whole week was amazing. The plane ride back to Pittsburgh on Saturday was just about the most depressing thing ever; that, and I got a massive bruise on my knee from my jeans and the pressure change. Cry. I want [...]

Going to be motivated today. I know I can be!
Last night we all went out for half-price. It was a good time — Rogue Dead Guy ales, cheesy things, and deliciousness. A definite good time. Before half-price, I worked with Alie on writing and workshopping while she was at tutoring. It was a lot of [...]

Thus starts the first of my many catch-up posts. Click to the left as you go to find the post you haven’t read yet, as it’ll be the easiest way to keep track.
So last night was the Stammtisch, which as far as I can translate from “Stimme” and “tisch” means something like “people having fun [...]
Biergarten! Or, How I Celebrated My 4th of July.

I hadn’t really thought about it being the 4th of July until when checking my email yesterday and noticed the date. Perhaps it was because it was Tuesday, and perhaps it was because I’m in Germany (I mean, seriously) it had totally slipped my mind.
Anyway, the Biergarten! I met at the Institut at 18 Uhr [...]
