Quest for knowledge

Since I have been out of school... all of two months... I have been thinking a lot about how I can go back to school. It's true - I'm a big nerd and I love learning. I didn't apply to grad schools right away, because I knew that I had to take some time off or else I would self-destruct from being in school for years on end, with no breaks. For the past few years I have been taking classes every quarter, summer included, but now I suddenly find myself with nothing academic to do.

This calls for... UNSTRUCTURED LEARNING! And by that, I mean I am satisfying my needs by Google- and Wikipedia-searching EVERYTHING. It takes the edge off, a little.

Here's a list of recent things I have been reading up on. Some of these I don't even remember searching for, but Google search history doesn't lie. I'll also include some links, so you can join me on this voyage of discovery:

• define:boffin
• J. S. G. Boggs
• Our Daily Bread - 2005 documentary
• Washington state official dish - We don't have one!
• Chiari Malformation
• faloodeh - I saw this on PBS, it looked tasty and I want to try it!
• music 1993 - "April 29 - An animated version of Barry White appears on an episode of the US television cartoon series, The Simpsons." Historic, indeed.
  
• sans-culottes
• knit rat sweater - Matt is the only one I know with rats right now, but he is not having any of this. Boo!
  
• Downs Syndrome doll - There are kind of a lot of these...
  
• countries by homicide rate
• CSI: Chicago - This doesn't even exist! What on earth was I looking for, fanfic?
