(see what I did there?) I’ve been mulling over returning to my blog to do the requisite “year in review” thing ever since I got my yearly wrap-up email from WordPress. According to them, this was a very successful blogging year for me, and I was “on fire” because of the 18 new entries I [...]

Unriveting, Thy Name is Carolyn
Posted in Culinary Adventures, tagged food, guilt, hi im boring on June 8, 2010 | 1 Comment »
All’s been quiet on the blog front, and for that, I am sorry. I wish I could say I’ve been too fabulously busy, intellectually and socially engaged, and interesting to blog, but the sad reality is that I’ve just been boring. Mind-numbingly, overwhelmingly, sleep-inducingly boring. And if that doesn’t entice you to keep reading, well, [...]
Carrelin’

I am currently sitting at my school carrel in a weird stasis that I never, ever experience–I don’t have anything to do. Sure, I have lots I could be doing, but I’ve worked out my schedule for the week and the task that I thought would take much longer than it did (a cursory analysis [...]

Before I launch into a MUCH overdue update, I would like to mention that today’s entry is brought to you by Ms. Knowles’ not-really-recent-but-hey-I’m-an-old-out-of-touch-broad-what-can-you-expect album that I downloaded on Amazon.com today for their $3.99 special. If you too are a sadly crusty codger like yours truly with dim hopes of remaining quasi-relevant, go scoop it [...]
I Sit, Therefore I Blog

It’s such a shame to sit down before your computer, knowing that much has transpired since the last entry, knowing that your readers CLAMOR to know of your life events, knowing that if you could just muster an ounce of strength you’d summon your wit and verbosity. To that, I say, “Meh.” Don’t get me [...]

I’m not going to lie. Michael and I watched Julie & Julia earlier this evening, and it is completely my reason for writing. Not that I’ve deluded myself into thinking that anyone besides friends, family, and the occasional stalker read this, but still. My poor, neglected blog. It needs some quality time. *petpet* Things have [...]
Return of the Prodigal Pickler

Oh, blag. I fear our time together is henceforth doomed to be sporadic at best. I have not blagged in ten days because I have been studying for entrance exams, so what is to come of you when I begin school in earnest? I simply do not know, blag, but I do promise to make [...]
My Dream Job, or Exercises in Selling Out
Posted in Pipe Dreams, tagged food, travel on July 29, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Okay, so we all know I’m on the not-so-straight-and-narrow path to lifelong nerddom in academia, and that I am also very happy about that. I couldn’t think of anything I could do better than read, write, and eventually be a persnickety Music History professor. There is one job, however, that I will covet all my [...]

Reason No. 29348732 Why I Love Bloomington: the Bloomington Wildlife Preserve! I have seen more wildlife in the two months I have lived in Bloomington than the 26 years I’ve lived anywhere else. Deer are a regular occurrence, as are the red squirrels and woodchucks. It hasn’t stopped amazing me every time I drive down [...]
Cheeseburger in HELL
Posted in Great Bloomington Burger Search, Restaurants, tagged food, guilt on July 16, 2009 | 5 Comments »
So…I think I have some bad news. Sigh. Perhaps I should back up a bit. I am a burger fiend. To me, there is no greater meal than the juicy, meaty, cheesy glory of the perfect burger. That having been said, I don’t like to just get burgers willy-nilly. I need to be in the [...]
