Best commercial ever?

I think possibly yes.

Collaboration!

Dreams

Last night, I dreamed that I lived and worked on a farm where my primary responsible was taking care of and choosing names for three teeny, tiny newly-hatched chicks. I woke up before I pinned down names for each of them (mostly because I couldn't tell them apart), but we managed to still get in a pretty good time playing hide-and-go-seek together. It's actually pretty hard to find baby chicks that are only two square inches in size.

Perhaps my subconscious wants a vacation?

"Craftsmanship to be artistic in the final sense must be 'loving'; it must care deeply for the subject matter upon which skill is exercised."

--John Dewey, Art as Experience, p. 69

This is why, then, my Thai curry is art, and my thesis is not. Today I do the work of writing the thesis and tomorrow I practice the art of making curry. (Yum!)

Chicago it is, then

Thank you, everyone, for helping me to decide where to live next year. My poll officially closed last night, and as you can see, Chicago overwhelmingly received the most votes. So, I've decided to move there in August. What would I do without you all?

;)

P.S. By "I've decided to move to Chicago," I of course mean I've decided to delay making a real decision by sticking around Utah for a year while I attempt to save money and put together PhD applications. Then, come next January or February or so, I can let admissions committees decide my life for me. Good plan, no?

Now, the real problem will be if I get accepted nowhere and am, once again, stuck making a decision for myself.

P.P.S. "Provo" and "Salt Lake" together received 7 votes, so sticking around Utah really validates the actual results of the poll. Don't you ever think your vote doesn't count!
