going solo

so i here i am, one half of the new, extra-girly, email geek team, venturing out on my own.
destined to be nerdy, the child of 2 brainy college professor types, i spent the first 12 years of my life in chapel hill, north carolina. uprooted to nashville just in type for the awkward junior high years, undergrad at university of texas in austin... campus to campus. i was powerless to resist the draw of life as an academic. who knew defending a thesis would be so intimidating. might as well put if off a little longer. that's the great thing about graduate school- you can do it forever.
made an important discovery about reheating coffee this morning. heat up the black coffee a little too much an then add cold milk, rather than adding the milk first and reheating it in it's doctored state. you get less of the icky reheated taste. who knew?
mission for the day: $10 haircut at the punk supercuts equivalent, stock up on $3 wine at trader joe's, return overdue library books, climbing gym.
mission for the season: find ridiculous autumn-y harvest festivals with pumkins and cider and stuff... maybe even a hay ride. learn to cook soup with sophisticated ingredients like leeks or squash. paint the living room.
what next?
