Thesis research is a go

Looks like I'll be doing some of the field work for my thesis late next week. The grad student who didn't email me back for two week got brownie points back by offering me a place to stay (his parent's house) for the 2-3 days I'll be up there so I don't have to make a 5hr commute or try and find a hotel.

miome and I have become addicted to Design Star from HGTV. Mostly because it's interesting to see what the people are going to come up with (I could never be a designer because I think a lot of the stuff they come up with is hideous) and even more fun to watch people have a melt down.

Finally, I cannot wait for the school year to start. When it does, I'll have a nice set schedule and will therefor write more. I know that sounds weird, but I write much more when my plans are not constantly changing. I've gotten some writing done this summer, but would have liked to have written more.

I may regret saying that when it comes time to get my thesis going. Sigh.
