I got distracted by Inertia because it summarizes my fear of stagnating as I age, but Hole in the Bottom of My Brain is probably the most relatable song on The Maybe Man. Just @ me next time, AJR.

Whoever decided that eggplant was going to be the one vegetarian option at banquets and Italian restaurants has a lot to answer for.

I would just, one time, like for someone to tell me WHAT BUILDING THEY WANT ME TO GO TO instead of “can you meet me at X department?” I’m tired of constantly asking what building things are in. Just tell me. Please, err on the side of specificity. I’m begging you.

No one respects me because whenever anyone walks in on me I’m cutting out 5000 hexagons or making small piles of pipe cleaners.

We’ve started watching the new David Tennant/Catherine Tate Doctor Who episodes and…hey y’all? Hey. When did the sonic screwdriver start to be able to do…all that stuff?

We saw a K-State flag hanging outside a house on our walk today. We’ve either found our nemesis or our best New York friend.

One of my favorite things about Saturday mornings where I live is just walking around on Saturday morning running errands. Picking up bread from the bakery, stopping by the bank, getting groceries. All with a nice quiet stroll around town. It’s wonderful.

I just finished a book. It’s December 1. You know what that means.

There is a single person where I work that has the skill to see the underlying ignorance in my questions, thus provides actual helpful answers to my questions.

I’m so bummed that moving to New York killed my dream of being the house our families come to for holidays. I’ll always be the one who has to travel 😞

I’m spending the day before Thanksgiving the way god intended: baking and listening to 8 years worth of ‘Til Death Do Us Blart.

What’s a girl gotta do to get some Bisto in upstate NY?

I have to turn on the light in my home office by 3pm if I want to see. I hate this place.

Hello. Several years ago I wrote The 12 Days of Thanksgiving as a way to avoid my real responsibilities and I think it holds up.

Deeply regretting the science talk I signed up to do at a local science meeting.
Sigh. This was supposed to be behind me.

Omg, I thought about getting tickets for AJR’s Boston show but it’s 4 days before the eclipse and I’m an adult astronomer with responsibilities 😭😭😭😭😭

I can’t help but think I’m doing my budget justification wrong. Like…why do I want to include eclipse glasses in an elementary school eclipse kit? Idk man. So no one goes blind?
02:23 PM - Nov 08, 2023
“You have to prove that you can win the small grants before anyone will give you new planetarium money,” I say to myself as I beg for $3000 so I can do a fund rural eclipse outreach.
10:49 AM - Nov 08, 2023
I swore I’d never do this again but I just registered to give a talk on research I’ve done in a conference setting.
Maybe I’ll end up being sick that day.

How do I become one of those people that walks along rocky beaches chiseling away rocks to find little round nodules that house fossilized ammonites? Because I think that’s what I’m meant to do with my life.

I love doing errands on my bike. Just casually riding on my baby blue step-through with my hard-shell pannier, picking up milk. What a dream.

Today I was mistaken for a student. A professional milestone.

Deep sigh, OK…
1. CHILI AND CINNAMON ROLLS ARE NOT A THING.
2. Of course no one identifies as from “the Plains.” I had never heard that as a regional distinction until a few years ago. That’s where some of the Midwest *is* but it’s not a cultural identity.
