Musings from the Big U. A geek, her blog, and the internet. Bull;April 11, 2012 • Comments Off on Homemade Hot Pockets. So I’ve recently started playing Global Agenda again. It’s fun, but it’s not overly deep or enlightening. Hot pockets, though, go great with games such as that, but they aren’t great for you. This dough is my default pizza dough, so it isn’t as flaky as regular hot pockets. Makes 8 hot pockets.). 1 1/2 cups warm water. 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Another blurring of the lines between ...

Problematic Fandoms | Musings from the Big U
https://bigumuse.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/problematic-fandoms
Musings from the Big U. A geek, her blog, and the internet. Just once, I wish there weren’t something problematic about my fandoms. I wish I could happily squee and gush about the latest happenings without the real world intruding. But eventually it does, and most of fandom blissfully ignores it, but not without it festering and driving some away. Even if some in fandom are able to reconcile the problematic aspects of the object of their squee, the glow is tarnished. Following last summer, I can’t deny t...

The Life of Blessed Romuald,. Written c. 1042. By Jen on May 26, 2012. 2 Responses to “The more things change…”. My G’d, how appropriate! Said this on May 26, 2012 at 9:50 am. I know, right?

Today’s Reality Check | Musings from the Big U
https://bigumuse.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/todays-reality-check
Musings from the Big U. A geek, her blog, and the internet. Today’s Reality Check. I’m seeing this idea that you’re a horrible person, if you don’t spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on vet bills when they come up or if you rehome/put a pet with a shelter. Can we please let this die? We say that people are being responsible, if they give up children they can’t take care of. So why is it the worst thing in the world, if you give up a pet under similar circumstances? By Jen on August 6, 2012.

Musings from the Big U. A geek, her blog, and the internet. 6 Things I Wish They’d Warned Me About Grad School. So it’s that time again, when bright-eyed and enthusiastic graduate students head to their new schools. Here’s some things I noticed in my time in graduate school that I wish someone would’ve warned me about. 4) Along with #3, nothing is guaranteed.

Haters gonna hate | Musings from the Big U
https://bigumuse.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/haters-gonna-hate
Musings from the Big U. A geek, her blog, and the internet. It’s not their fault they’ve never been trained to play “that stuff”! They’ve only played “the greats.”. And people wonder why I stick to Csound these days, unless I’m writing for someone I know. And that’s the larger problem: people expect music to be something easily consumed, like a special from McDonalds. We’re so used to the pop model of music that’s easy to understand and doesn’t ever challenge. (Which, I mi...Part of my problem with peopl...

If you aren’t outraged, you aren’t paying attention, as the saying goes. 43 years ago (last Thursday, to be exact), the Stonewall riots happened in Greenwich Village in the east side of New York.

7 Things I’ve Learned from Minecraft | Musings from the Big U
https://bigumuse.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/7-things-ive-learned-from-minecraft
Musings from the Big U. A geek, her blog, and the internet. 7 Things I’ve Learned from Minecraft. I like big sandbox games, where one can wander, explore, or completely ignore the main quest line, if there is one. So games like Terraria and Minecraft fit that bill. Recently I’ve been playing Minecraft, and it doesn’t disappoint, as it’s designed to be an incredibly big sandbox. Some things I’ve learned:. 1 Don’t dig straight down. You’ll fall into lava. 3 You really can’t swim in lava. Don’t even try.
