Saturday, July 17, 2010
This evening I finished reading Disease and History by Frederick F. Cartwright (published 1972), and it was quite the fascinating book.

Dispatches from the Frontlines
Thursday, July 15, 2010
Dispatch from the frontlines: 15 July 2010 at 1:54pm I have forced "correlation" into submission.

New Treasures!
Thursday, July 15, 2010
I visited a local Goodwill today and ended up spending $40. (Unbelievable!) The majority of that was for a $29.99 winter coat that is amazing! It is mid-thigh in length, tan in color, and probably leather (?) with fur (faux fur?) trim at the collar and cuffs. It is so hard to find a winter coat that... read more »

Statistics... Why did it have to be statistics?
Tuesday, July 6, 2010
I have spent three hours on my Statistics class so far today – and that was just reading Chapters 1 & 2 and making flashcards for all of the billions of definitions. I have not even started on the dozens of homework problems from both chapters. Fortunately, after reading and writing out all of... read more »
Personal Site: Makeover
Friday, July 2, 2010
For over six months, I have been intending to re-do my personal site, but one thing or another kept me from fulfilling this desire. Now that I am working on my sister's music site (Coming soon: www.JessicaFisherMusic.com ) and I am getting farther along in my design courses, it is important that my ... read more »
The Vegan Project: Seven Month Update

On January 4, 2010, I made the radical decision to change to a vegan diet. It did not take any long deliberation nor did I transition into the vegan diet slowly. On January 3rd, I was adhering to the clean and unclean meats of Leviticus 11 , and on January 4th, I stopped eating any kind of animal pr... read more »
