Finally off the damn crutches! Now I need a snazzy cane — maybe one with a sword in it. Or a flask. ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/603/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/590 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/590#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 04:49:01 +0000 CP http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=590
Got in a wreck yesterday (Wed. the 10th). That plastic bodywork on Saturns may be resistant to door dings, but not when you get T-boned at 35 mph or so. The good news: it wasn’t bad enough to be admitted in-patient. The bad news: I have three breaks in my pelvis from being sandwiched between the door [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/590/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/539 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/539#comments Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:46:08 +0000 CP http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=539
Depending on whether there’s a last minute change of course, we could be more or less directly in the path of Hurricane Ike this weekend. Suddenly, I’m not so happy about being next to a creek, or having that huge oak tree overhanging our roof. ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/539/feed 2 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/528 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/528#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:00:42 +0000 CP http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=528
Ashburn (just a few artsy-fartsy shots that were still in the camera). Austin (will be adding to these regularly). A Horde of Fuzzy Pantses (to steal K2’s title). VVS 1968-71 (pics from my misspent youth). Walnut Creek (which runs behind the empty lot next door to us). ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/528/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/479 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/479#comments Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:21:16 +0000 CP http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=479
If I know that your book has sloppy summarizing and outright errors in the areas in which I have some knowledge, it’s pretty damn hard for me to trust you on subjects where I don’t. Most recent culprit: The Magic Circle of Rudolph II: Alchemy and Astrology in Renaissance Prague, by Peter Marshall. Too bad, [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/479/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/477 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/477#comments Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:04:31 +0000 CP http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=477
Just got word my proposal for a Senior Honors Thesis has been approved. This is a 60-80 page paper that will be researched and written over the next two semesters as part of my undergraduate program. Here’s what I’ll be working on: Dr. John Dee, Sir Edward Kelly, and Authorship of the ‘Angelic Conversations’ This paper will [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/477/feed 4 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/282 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/282#comments Sat, 29 Mar 2008 02:57:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2008/03/ill-be-on-the-roof-if-you-need-me/
None of my random house-related projects have been of a size or type to warrant a construction or remodeling permit. If I follow through on building a deck to cover (or outright replace) the existing concrete patio, that seemed like something that might need a permit. Maybe. It seems it’s pretty widespread for low-elevation (1′ [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/282/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/270 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/270#comments Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:42:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2008/01/woe-for-the-next-generation/
Following links while researching, and stumbled over what appeared to be the start of a good forum thread, archived somewhere in google’s depths. What are the qualities of a good visual-media (television, music video, movie) work? First respondent goes for the relativist approach: “a good video is measured by how large an effect it has [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/270/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/247 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/247#comments Mon, 24 Dec 2007 00:38:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/12/how-to-really-really-hate-your-genetic-predispositions/
Especially if you’ve got the chromosone that says “will automatically have the HARDEST FRICKIN TIME when it comes to electrical systems”.
