Designing whilst Midterming

Posted by on Nov 16, 2008 in Designer, Scholar | 1 comment

Take a look. New design. Not a sin­gle graphic serves as a struc­tural or con­tent ele­ment. Every piece is in type. I have addi­tional bits of type-based ele­ments I’m going to toss into the works, but — after midterms. I’ve oodles of bugs to work through with var­i­ous nooks and cran­nies, and I need to recon­struct the archives and cat­e­gories in full, but — after midterms. I’ve a midterm exam due tonight — two and a half hours on Old Testament his­tory. This has been one of the most inter­est­ing courses I’ve had in a long time.  I’m draft­ing up...

Brunette Gone Blonde

Posted by on Feb 8, 2005 in Odds and Ends | 0 comments

I have just expe­ri­enced an evening in which I could not utter a coher­ent, brunette thought. I have also just expe­ri­enced an evening in which I could not shut up. Note: When hav­ing extended blonde moments, keep your mouth shut in class discussion. — Details! I want details! You’re not com­ing to see me, so you owe me some­thing. Posted by Kristin @ 02/09/2005 01:56 PM CST I kept mis­pro­nounc­ing Oneida, until the pro­fes­sor cor­rected me. I objected to the anal­o­gous com­par­i­son of method­ol­ogy between slave eman­ci­pa­tion in the 19thC and remov­ing...

Suspiro — Tale of Mortification

Posted by on Nov 9, 2004 in Observer, Scholar | 0 comments

Mortification is the word of the day. My day had been planned out with a chart and every­thing. Super Academia. and then I got dis­tracted. I missed the last of my buses, so I took the car and drove around cam­pus try­ing to find metered park­ing (I don’t have a park­ing pass… not until January). I found metered park­ing across cam­pus. Normally, not a prob­lem. Today, two problems: 1) No bike. 2) The cats have hid­den my shoes, and I had to run over to my apart­ment to find shoes… the only pair I found were some of my three inch heels. I love them, all of them, but...

Archaeological Fieldwork

Posted by on Nov 8, 2004 in Odds and Ends | 0 comments

I par­tic­i­pated in my first batch of archae­o­log­i­cal field­work on Saturday. 9am-12pm. Nothing major, but it was excit­ing… shovel tests at twenty meter tran­sects. Pairs of two dug foot round/deep holes and sifted the dirt/plants/rocks through a shaker screen. Anything of inter­est is bagged and marked. I’m try­ing to be care­ful about sound­ing too impor­tant… what I’m doing is very, very minor. But! I am incred­i­bly jazzed and giddy about this whole project. So if I make it sound like a big deal, it’s not, but it is. This is my pet project at the Lab. I do...

Halloween Exploits with Kristin

Posted by on Nov 1, 2004 in Odds and Ends | 0 comments

I am home again. I spent Saturday and Sunday see­ing Grandmother to the air­port — or, rather, this was the offi­cial task. My ulte­rior task was to claim Kristin’s last week­end of free­dom before her new job began today. Mission accom­plished. Saturday was spent craft­ing (ShrinkyDink and knit­ting) and com­ment­ing films (Thoroughly Modern Millie and Knight’s Tale). How to Break Kristin’s Mom’s Plates: 1) Teach Kristin the Mom-Samurai method of cast­ing knit stitches. 2) Casually men­tion that Leewit had chewed on the yarn Kristin is knit­ting. 3) Observe Kristin...
