EIGHT YEARS, peeps!!! That is eight years of blogging. On this day eight years ago, I wrote my first blog entry. (now forever lost in the cyber black hole of deletion.)
I had just started grad school (the first time) when I started the blog. It has taken me through grad school, the move from New Orleans to Philly, and the addition of two kids.
I don't know why I am even blogging about this, since it will likely end up in a fruitless ramble and totally uninteresting. It just rolls around in my head all the time. I'm always thinking about "when I get back into research/into a PhD program". I'm not working on anything now. Not a thing. Quiet moments I steal for sewing. It feels more productive, and it has instant gratification status. Something research doesn't have. I don't feel gratified about my thesis and the stupid thing is signed, sealed, and delivered.
I've been meaning to blog various sundry things, but I think I'll just blitz by them with a nod for the sake of time.
First, here's a fun music cognition test from the Univ. of Newcastle upon Tyne (via Household Opera). It involves listening to pairs of tunes and deciding whether they are the same or different.
Now that Ellis has a hearing aid, I've been working on his musical education, since now I'm not sure he got anything when I was teaching music appreciatio
