blog plug

I've got my fieldwork blgo up and running, and I'd be delighted if you all would follow me.  I wanna look real popular when my adviser checks up on me!

Also: For the past couple of days, I get light headed every time I sneeze.  What do we think about that?  I'm sure (more) caffeine will fix it, while combating the cold medicine-induced drowsiness.

Blarg.

Snake oil.

Woo.hoo.

Allergies. Gyah. Hard. to teach. 2 doz freshmen. While on Sudafed.

Kill me.

In the meantime:
- Went to Marwen last week and it was pretty amazing.
- GO RANGERS!  I don't care about you but that means you're 10M times better than the Yankees!
- Fieldwork FINALLY progressing alsdkfhaldufgalijfbakl  but my confirmed site won't start til January. Hope fieldwork adviser doesn't mind... I have much surveying and interviewing to do in the meantime.  Also I need to start a proper fieldwork blog. WHOA!
- G and I have cooked an absurd amount of food in the past week or so.  This includes a root veggie pot pie (almost all ingredients from our CSA farm share!), a cheddar rosemary apple pie, vegan chili (til we added the cheese), fancy stuffed peppers, pumpkin pancakes, samosas.... duh.licious. And gym-inducing.

This is all I can do right now. Crunch time. I forgot that I kind of like this feeling.

To do tonight (you can stop reading):
- Make fieldwork blog.
- Email freshmen video playlist.
- Be useful on the Ning.
- Read a lot for John's midterm assignment.

We should make an app for that

This time of year can be a little overwhelming.  Not even including school. The problem is that just as baseball is getting condensed enough that I can really focus on it and commit to one team or another (as my team is so often such a colossal letdown), college football and the NFL are getting in gear.  Post season baseball will always... I think always.... take precedence over any other games that are, but it's hard not to feel a little schizophrenic switching constantly between the many, MANY channels that are home to various ball games to check on this or that.

So I said today, "We should make an app for this."

The app itself is not so brilliant: just a simple interface that allows you to put in which games you are watching and get alarms as a quarter/half/period/inning/half time begins/ends.  Yeah. Basic but useful.  For all I know this already exists in some form.

More worth noting I think is the phrase, "We should make an app for that."  We should make an app for having too many TV channels.  We should make an app for our incredibly overtaxed multitasking brain centers.  We should make an app to make things even eeeeeasier, even though it is through pursuing ease that we breed astonishing complexity.

Our approaches to problem solving and question answering have changed so much.  In the past few months, I have used Google to find campsites and roadside attractions, to stream sporting events and bad reality TV, to look up my own new home address, to learn how to make omelets...  There is just no excuse to not know pretty much everything.  And there's no incentive to remember any of it.  And I just had to ask my boyfriend for help remembering the word "incentive".  I could have looked up "motivation" on thesaurus.com and probably would have gotten to it pretty quick, but I figured in light of this entry I'd ask something other than the internet for help for once.
