Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Finding an Apartment and Other Things

By Abby at 6:50 pm on Sunday, July 31, 2005

This is exactly what Aaron and I did, and it worked beautifully! The only hitch is that sometimes, Bloglines doesn’t update quickly enough. Some mornings, I just went straight to CL. Speaking of hitches, that movie Hitch wasn’t half bad. I don’t see a lot of movies these days, and I was so pleased to not have wasted my time. Thanks, Will Smith. 😛

My parents and Aaron were here this weekend. After Friday’s bash, we spent all day Saturday and half of Sunday packing the place up. They were enormously helpful, although packing is never free of stress. Now the move feels almost manageable, although there is still loads of paperwork to do. Hey, at least I got me some Dish, Blue Plate, and Automatic Slim’s cuisine. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Sorry for the ramble. So tired. So very, very tired!

Best Blogger Bash Ever!

By Abby at 10:27 pm on Friday, July 29, 2005

Even if Rachel did duck into dinner across the street! Whatevs…

I’m too tired for captions and links and such, but this ought to hold you for a little bit! Someone else should do a little blog roll if you’re up tonight! And you should all add yourself to my little guest map.

Add Yourself

By Abby at 2:33 pm on Friday, July 29, 2005

I created a little Google guest map. I just added my little self to Dish tonight. Right now, there is a bit of a bug, so sometimes you can’t see that there are three fields to fill out. I had to Shift-Tab to get to all of them. Hopefully, the creators of this tool will get it fixed soon. Please add yourself if you’d like. Eventually, there will be a working link in the sidebar where you can add your little self, too!

Complete Submission

By Abby at 9:53 am on Tuesday, July 26, 2005

I whipped that dissertation into Complete Submission. Oh yes, I did.

"Complete submission." Heh heh. 

OK, now check this out. Before they let you hit submit, you have to fill out a freakin’ survey! A SURVEY, I tell you. Unbelievable. I’m sure I wasn’t the only near-submitter to respond with slightly snarky comments.

 

Click on the picture above for the full-size version.

What follows is the page you get when you’re done submitting. What I can’t help but notice is the lack of can can dancers and confetti. Surely they can do better than this!

Silly Update: I got a message from the Graduate School saying that I needed to change "July 26, 2005" on the title page to "July 2005" and resubmit. These details, man. They are bordering on the ridiculous!
