Actually it’s about 45 minutes before I’m going to head downstairs, hop in a cab to the airport and begin the very long trip from my parents sweet apartment in Beijing to my own grotty apartment in Chicago.
The break doesn’t feel like it’s been short, though in spite of that, I feel like [...]

In Good Company
December 26th, 2005 · No Comments
I’m farily certain I’ve already mentioned this movie (In Good Company (2004)) before, on whatever blog I was maintaining at the time, but I saw most of it again earlier today, and it was interesting to me how it struck me so differently this time around. The first time I saw it, I guess [...]

Winter Schedule
December 26th, 2005 · 5 Comments
So I’ve drawn up a possible schedule (13.9 kB, pdf) for next quarter, though at present it only includes classes and sleeping. Have I made any particularly obvious oversights here? 3 naps per week are out of place by a bit, but it’s hard for me to avoid that, and they’re each only [...]
indecision

So yesterday, evidenced a little by the photos of all the food, we had a bit of a dinner party and had lots of people over for Christmas dinner. A typical consequence of this kind of gathering with lots of people considerably older than me, is the frequently being asked what I’m planning on [...]

Christmas Dinner 008, originally uploaded by rstadler.
Ok, in addition to having setup and started playing around with a flickr account, I am testing it with the photos of the food we had for Christmas dinner last night. Have a look or something.

dissatisfaction and a decision to go polyphasic, eventually
December 24th, 2005 · 1 Comment
I’m not too pleased with the current state of things. However, not really having much more specific things to say beyond that, I can’t really back that up with anything in particular. I don’t like how I spend my days, I don’t like my current health, I don’t like what I’ve been doing, [...]

I’m in the process of making some updates to the way this site is all being published and I’d like if you’re reading this in some news aggregator or what have you, that you switch to using http://feeds.feedburner.com/Pantsfarm as the source instead of whatever you might be using now.

polyphasic sleep and social consequences
December 13th, 2005 · No Comments
I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, I think because I somehow got it into my head that if ever there was a time to try and making the switch, this break leading into Winter quarter would be it.
As stated, I did and do think that if I am going to make [...]

you won’t believe your eyes!

So a few minutes ago, I did the whole stare-at-colored-lines thing to see the McCulloch Effect for myself. It’s pretty cool, so far. Depending on how the next day+ goes, I’ll let you know how long it stays with me. Conclusions as to my extravertedness can follow later. As a note, [...]
