To make my night a little more interesting, I’m sitting here watching live streaming video of a high-speed car chase. It’s riveting. The news camera is pointed down on the chase, and this guy (obviously) is driving like a lunatic at speeds ranging from 20 to 120 miles per hour. Just when you think he’s [...]

Despite my graduate school studies at hand, I somehow managed to run across an interesting video about a new car that is fueled only by air. At first, I thought this air car was some kind of hoax, but it turns out it’s totally not. The company is called Motor Development International (MDI), and they’re [...]

“A day that starts with me giving hell to people in financial aid is made better only by getting what I want from them. Yes!”
You may or may not have noticed the above Twitter post from me yesterday. It pretty much sums up my whole feeling about how the day went. I verbally bitch-slapped the [...]

According to my calendar, tomorrow is only the start of the second week of school. Wait, what? I’ve been back in school for ages! Oh, that’s right, it only seems like ages, thanks in large part to “blameless” parties who decided to pull my funding out from under me without any warning whatsoever. As if [...]

My weekly planner has little quotes that are supposed to be helpful and/or inspirational in some way. Which is why I rarely bother to read them. Until, that is, I opened up said planner today to write down my schedule for the upcoming week, and noticed the quote for last week.
Most things which are urgent [...]

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day from All Things Phil!
In honor of this day and of tomorrow’s historic inauguration of the nation’s first ever African American president, I’ve Obamacized myself. Change. It’s more than an idea, it’s a way of life.

First off, thanks to everyone for the outpouring of love and support and commiseration and high-fives and slaps on the back and “Hell yeahs” and Hail Maries–I think I just took that too far. But seriously, I got so much great advice and many concerned messages and emails and comments regarding my well-being while I [...]

Dear Grad School Professors,
We need to talk. I’m taking a mere three classes this semester, and I feel I must point out that requiring I buy thirteen (that’s THIRTEEN) textbooks between the three of them is ludicrous. And ridiculous. And it’s totally fucking pissing me off, not to mention making me depressed. I realize this [...]

After moving into my current place of residence, I informed Robert that I had no desire to ever live in a fixer-upper. I’m in one right now, and as a renter I think it’s that much more of a pain in the butt. I’ve had to put in a lot of time and money of [...]

Headwinds hit the plane at upwards of a hundred miles an hour. The mountains below, covered in pristine white snow, were being pummeled by the wind, as evidenced by the dust devils of snow flitting about the peaks. The sun, at first a brilliant orange, faded slowly over the horizon. Rays of sunlight played off [...]
