So…what happened to Cheshire?

So…if you’ve been following this blog, you’ve probably noticed a distinct lack of posts. I wrote about this two posts ago, but I figured I’d share some details. For the past year, I’ve been trying to get into a graduate school. My grades are excellent-I’m one of the top in my class…it’s been a solid [...]

The SNL Tiger Woods Sketch

Okay…I really feel the need to say something about the SNL Tiger Woods sketch, as well as all the others floating about. As y’all probably know, sometime last week Tiger’s wife chased him down the driveway and assaulted him with a golf club, causing him to crash into his neighbor’s mailbox, causing him to need [...]

Updates

Blogging will be sparse this semester, for many reasons. I’m in the middle of some legal proceedings…civil, not criminal. Don’t worry. Those should be wrapped up by October at the latest. I’m also studying for the Graduate Record Exam and looking at graduate school prospects. I’m wanting to study medical entomology…diseases and insects that spread [...]

Single parenthood and navigating the treachery of academia.

I tend to try to stay away from personal topics, because I like to blog pseudoanonymously for a multitude of reasons which are explained very well here (the exact same reasons, actually). So I’m not going to go into great detail about my situation. To be honest, if you go to ISU I’ve got to [...]

I’ve had a weird month.

Being an entomology student can be exciting a way that’s both intellectual and in a way that’s more like ‘WTF’. People are a lot more curious about insects than they let on, and I get a lot of questions about bugs in my everyday life as a student when I tell people what I’m studying. [...]

Update…strange things happening at the one-two point

Okay…I realize it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything semi-science related (or…you know, anything at all), so I figure I’d cue y’all into what’s up. As I mentioned before, I have some legal (minor custody quibble) stuff to sort out and quite a bit of preparation for finals to do. I just got back from [...]

Perhaps I should give up this delusion I’m in control of my life?

Yeah…this week was another interesting week. A family member died unexpectedly and I was whisked away to the other side of the US with about 12 hours warning. I missed a lot…a lot of crap in the blogosphere this week. Bug Girl’s taking a break from blogging? I guess there’s a reason anonymity is important. [...]

Video of the Week: Special Valentine’s Day Edition!

This is such a sweet love song, isn’t it? Personal story below the fold. Watch the video first.

Cars suck.

Yeah…I know I have some regular readers, so I figured I’d break one of my cardinal rules and tell y’all why I haven’t posted for a week or so. I really try to keep my meta-rants down to a minimum on here, but I figured since I kind of suddenly dropped of the radar, I’d [...]
