Yes, this really is yet another blog by a disillusioned grad student. I sympathize, but that's just the way it has to be. For hints as to what my bizarre alias means, click here and here and, if needed, here and here. To get a sense of what I'm up to, feel free to check out the sections called "Toward a Wiseass Creed" and "Showings: Some Introductory Wiseassery" in my main blog's left-hand sidebar. Please be aware that spamming, harassing, or otherwise obnoxious comments will be deleted and traced.

Overheard in the grad lounge

Yesterday. Three voices, singing:

"Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true,
You're a pal and a confidante.
And if you threw a party,
Invited everyone you knew,
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend."

This is how we know it's the end of the quarter and we're all punch-drunk from grading.
