I got the guest room cleaned up today for Keith’s arrival on Friday. Well sort of. I straightened the mess up, I still need to vacuum, dust and do the sheets. But it’s a small room, that will take all of ten minutes.

After last nights dust congestion and a not so good nights sleep I spent most of today in a daze. I really wanted to go to Philly and see some friends, but I was too tired. Fortunately it seems they were too 🙂 I do need to call them tomorrow and try and get them to commit to coming out to at least dinner and meet Keith next week.

Made a dent in my school work today, even though I had to back track. I was supposed to simply write up some analysis of statistics I ran the day before and move on to the next site to be analyzed. Whoops! I found I made a mistake and included a variable I shouldn’t have, and that screwed up everything! I had to rerun them and that one little fucking crystal artifact changed the entire analysis of the site. Grrrr. I got it done, but by time I should have started the next site analysis I ended up fretting over other stuff relating to the dissertation and called it quits for the day.

The grape jelly meatballs turned out. Probably the one thing I’ve made in the crock pot so far that was a success.

I watched Wanda Sykes special on HBO tonight. It actually just ended. It was okay, but not great. I kinda expected a bit more from her. They showed commercials for a new Rosanne Barr special in November which actually looks good.

Finally, one last bit of good news before I finish this mishmash of a post. “Medium” returns in November to NBC!
