Liebster Nomination Redux

Posted on March 31, 2015 by

As soon as I shake the residual, soul-sucking side-effects of work, I might actually dig into Minah’s eleven-questions today.  I don’t want to take it all lightly. I’m picking up a few followers everyday now.  So now I also feel … Continue reading →

Great. Now a mathematician is going to mess up the one-way Mars Spectacle

Posted on March 31, 2015 by

Apparently, my appalling writing style, overstated sense of self-importance, and maudlin, lactation-inducing baby-squeaking about my abysmal weekend traffic isn’t enough  to put off the lovely and gracious Minah Seo–because she’s fallen off the wagon over there at Brown University and … Continue reading →

Posted on March 28, 2015 by
