Pictures

Our pix for Fantasy Factory's Anime night (yeah I know its not accurate, what can you say for a 15 minute throw together costume)?

And that's tux (the linux penguin) dressed up like pen-pen, he wanted to join in on the fun too!

Here's our pix from the Boston Marathon - these were taken at the junction of Rts 126 and 135, around the corner from our house. In particular I love the one of the little girl in pink with the crutch reaching up to a runner as he looks back at her smiling . . . that could be a postcard or something.

(thanks B, for finally putting them up . . . now where's my angel pic? ;) )

Tonight, tonight

First off, I apologize if my LJ posts are showing up as wide on your screen as they are on mine (and screwing up your friend's list making you scroll from left to right). Even in a diff browser it happens at home and at work from time to time. Does anyone have thoughts on how I can stop this from happening?

Tonight I'll be going to the gym after work. I'm sick of my body breaking down repeatedly because its not as strong as it used to be. I'm also sick of the number on the scale being higher than it used to be. I am self-conscious female, hear me roar!

I spent some time before work this morning searching for and printing off journal articles for my final report for this semester's class. I need to 'develop an empirically-based answer to a single research question using the general social survey with some bivariate and multivariate tests'. Woo.

Since the variable I've been studying all semester is dichotomous (support for sex education, yes or no) I can't use this for my final paper (we've only touched the surface of regression analysis and thus can only look at quantitative variables for this paper) I needed to find a new question to look at. I have a bunch of articles about work status and family structure/role and its effect on women's satisfaction or psychological health that I'm going to read tonight that will hopefully help me formulate a research question and various hypothesis related to that question.

Man my life is exciting sometimes. I'll be happier when all of this is done and I can focus on creating pretty things and going to summer concerts, ren faires and cons.
