I know it's been quite a while since my last post, and there's really been one (maybe two) reason for it--my new phone of awesomeness. Since I joined the exclusive club of Apple iphone carriers, I've barely used my computer. After all, why read my news on my laptop, when it's on my phone? Why check my email there, when it's in my hand? In actuality, I'm writing this on my precious phone right now, thereby completing my descent into Apple fandom. I have drunk the Kool-Aid, and it's tasty.
The other reason I haven't been posting is because, well, my biggest challenge concerning where I work is keeping myself from engaging in punditry. Of course the old standby excuses of no time and no events of interest still apply, but there's also been an element of restraint in play as well.
Naturally, there's still nothing significant happening in my life, aside from my imminent attendance in graduate school. Class begins tomorrow, and so far I've been less than impressed with the quality of administration at the University of Hawaii. Actually, I have a sneaking suspicion the school is controlled by a secret shadow organization, since everyone from financial aid to admissions seems hellbent on keeping students from discovering some all-important Truth about their status in any of those areas. I'm actually beginning to miss MSU. On a more serious note, I'm regretting the decision to go to school here, and I have yet to set foot in a classroom. Thus, the power of a shitty infrastructure is demonstrated.
At least I've got a husband who will support me, although he's still recovering from an alarmingly serious bout of the flu. He lost 10 pounds and is still taking meds for it, and for the sinus infection and thrush he managed to get while sick. When the hospital doctors put him on codeine, he hallucinated that I was a bunny and started to pet my head. It's been a rough week.
