Bachelorhood of a Sort is Behind Me

As many of you are probably aware, a fairly major and wonderful change is happening in my life over the next few weeks: I’ll no longer be living alone!

X-Mas is coming!

I’m a lucky human being. I have my health, great friends and family, and I see potential in the future. Which means, for me, X-Mas is relegated to asking for shiny baubles which I certainly don’t need, but some of which I surely want. So, let’s discuss the gifts we want, why not? (continued)

CU peeps

Hey all, If you’re a CU-ite still (er, Teisha?) and you have easy access (like, go to website, click on link, free access because you’re connecting through CU or something) to the archives of the Rocky Mountain News, Denver Post, Daily Camera, or other, can you see if there’s any reference to a fire/flood in the library?

Free Rice

Okay, I’ll admit that it’s entirely possible that I am the last person to learn about this website*, but it’s really addictive.  It’s a game that tests your vocabulary.  Each time you get a word’s meaning correct, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Program.  So, give Free Rice a whirl.  I bet you’ll have fun and you’ll get to help make strides toward ending hunger.

A news story about it is here
