Rain again

It started raining as I was walking to the grocery store, so I got very, very wet. :-(

I was plagued by computer problems over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, my Internet access mysteriously disappeared and two hours on the phone with my unofficial Redmond tech support team (my father and brother) didn't help. I finally got it to work on Monday evening after swapping my modem and ethernet card. I hate hardware problems.

I went to Toronto yesterday to talk to a potential supervisor for my PhD. The trip was his idea, and I still don't really know why he wanted me there. Perhaps he thought I'd have a better idea than I actually do about what I want to do in the fall. I'm not really sure the two hour meeting was worth the six hours of travel time, but on the bright side, he did supply me with a copy of an article that I really wanted and had been having trouble obtaining.

And finally, quizzes. This one seems to be the current favourite among my siblings...


You're British Columbia. You're hip and happenin'
but also a nice person who isn't a snob. Career
is important to you but it isn't your whole
life. People assume that your life is perfect
and that you have it all, like you were born
with a silver spoon in your mouth. But it's not
true; you do have your own set of troubles just
like everybody else.
