Felled

So last night yesterday last week a storm blew through chicago, and while I was eating 3 different kinds of chicken (Lemon chicken bits, jerk half chicken, and hainaneseish garlicish whole chicken), trees were outside getting killed by huge winds, which i discovered the next day:





(UofC philosopher-scientists pondering whether a tree makes a noise when it falls in the night amidst a noisy thunderstorm and it's too noisy for anyone to hear it.)

Quite amazing. am i glad all i had to do was trod through ankle-deep water in my garage, and not deal with a tree on my car.

Haven't been posting in ages and ages. Rishi's been here and now jiax is visiting, and otherwise it's been a busy few weeks just settling in and clearing up admin and all sorts of random things. This should be a good quarter though, have decided to take things easy and develop the other non-academic bits of my life, and apply for grad schools and all that extra stuff. and of course, sleep.
