So... I've been gone for 10+ days and am completely behind on my f-list. I hope everyone's well. I will try to catch up here and there, feel free to update me on anything of you feel like it. :)

My flist can seem like such a terribly nerdy -- I mean, intelligent -- place! It's got me wondering as to how many of you are pursuing the path of the eternal student by sticking with a field of study all the way until you've... completed it, basically.

Poll #1499693
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 43

Are you pursuing or have already completed a terminal degree (PhD, JD, MD, etc.) in your field?

(I'm aware I'm playing a little fast and loose with the term, there... a JD is the highest professional law degree but not the highest academic law degree, blah blah. I think the general idea is there.)

I was reviewing posts and was reminded of this game:

Circle the Cat: Given the amusing reaction I got from reminding someone of it*, I thought I would share the joy in case anyone else missed out on this when I first posted it. To follow that, I thought I would share some other time wasters that should have already sucked you in.

Die Anstalt: Assisting adorable little stuffed animals with their psychological trauma. If you run into problems (and have seen the amusing results from performing the wrong actions) then I highly recommend seeking out a walkthrough. Seeing the stories conclude is worth it.

Pandemic 2: You too will grow to hate Madagascar. Hate it so bad.

Dinkyball: An entertaining little game in the vast "match 3" genre. The different arrangements keep things interesting, and it is just a generally good example of that huge genre. The site is undergoing maintenance as I make this post but I imagine it will be up soon.

I finally cleaned up my profile. For one, I have not had bobbed brown hair for a very long time, and so that little self portrait was getting rather hilariously out of date.

In the process of tweaking/reloading/tweaking/reloading I noticed the number of journal entries. 3,100.

Good lord!

How did that happen?




Edit: and now this entry has just ruined that nice round number.
