Summer updates

This summer has been....interesting. Not as productive (at least strictly on the dissertation front) as I would like, but at least my IRB has been approved (last week), and I have Jenny starting to fill out her time budget. Of course, today, Sunday, and her day off, her time budget is filled mostly with "played video games".

We've been trying to save money, so, cooking a lot. I've found that cooking for more than one person is awesome. First of all, we're both motivated to do it. Secondly, you have the satisfaction of hearing someone go "Mmmm! That's really good!" (even if she might be stretching the truth just a little sometimes...or a lot). We made 紅燒雞 tonight. 紅燒ing something is the best way to get meat REALLY tender. Amazing.

Finally, I've been working on two non-academic projects, which has given me flashbacks to indie filmmaking, but these are web-based and mobile-based applications. A bit different. Perhaps more later, as I am off to bed. G'nite y'all.
