Month: December 2010

• Phew. Now for 2 days off (i.e., catch-up time). #
• I finally left the office at 7:45 this evening. I caught up in 2 projects in which I have been behind. #
• What a busy last day before the holiday weekend. Hardly time for a Tweet! #
• Anybody see the Apple preview of Mac OS X Lion http://bit.ly/gThR1p #
• Listening to Li Rosignox (Teobaldo I Rey de Navarra 1201-1253), Eduardo Paniagua Group . Album is Danzas Medievales Españolas. Fantastic. #
• Renewed my membership to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park Conservancy. Both are vital to me as a New Yorker and as a person. #
• Wow, this is my 60th public Tweet today (not counting a few Direct Tweets along the way). Goodness, I had a lot to say ? #

• Adam Lambert's "Broken Open" is one of the best songs of 2011, IMHO. #
• Interesting how music can cause many emotions, remembrance of things past, and hopes for the future. #
• I am re-reading the #phdchat threads from earlier today; no idea how I missed so many Tweets and replies. What a collaborative group. #
• Listening to music on iTunes for the first time since I finished my recent research project. Ahh, Alanis you are so vibrant. #
• Trying to catch up with emails, Tweets, and FB. #
• Well, #phdchat colleagues, I need to run. All the best for research that urges us on. Until, or even before, next time. #
• I am struggling to take electronic notes in the margin of pdfs and have my notes searchable. Ideas? #phdchat #
• With all the #phdchat about reading PDFs, hope everybody here has a data backup strategy. It saved me this summer. #
• Taking stock where I am regarding #phdchat I have lots of PDFs that I try to read on an iPad, and struggle with taking & searching notes #
• I am actively trying to manage #phd content around the workload, as well as finally trying to read via unprinted pdfs with my iPad #phdchat #
• I struggle with managing my #phd workload. I tend to read in intense periods when I have unmovable deadlines #phdchat #

• Almost home for the day. Need something bigger to read and reply to Tweets than my BlackBerry. #
• Hmm, no sooner than I looked up from the last Tweet, the colors are gone. What a treat I must have just experienced. #
• What a spectacular sunset. Shades of pink and blue and purple and yellow and gray. Magnificent. #
• Just ate a late lunch. Very late. #
• Goodness, I have to leave for the office. So enjoying catching up on Twitter and FB this morning (finally). #
• Needed a break this evening after so many problems with that text; watched the second half of Tess of the d'Urbervilles. #
