So, yesterday was my birthday. It started (as usual) as a pretty casual day, I suppose, online. Essentially I was playing with my new toys (a keyboard, mouse, cables, RAM, webcam, video card etc.) that I had received for my birthday (thanks JD). And then Beth and I went to Red Robin for lunch (and… Continue reading Birthday fun! 🙂

Lately, I've been trying to post to this here online journal more regularly. And in general, I've been doing a pretty decent job: sure it's just the journal I've written in for a bunch of years, but it's also crossposted to venues where people actually read it on occasion. Today, if all goes as planned,… Continue reading Out at the Ex…

The future (there is no point worrying about the past, or the present as it has already happened, or is in progress, but the future is something so full of opportunities for change and possibility, so full of things that you can alter that it is an unknown). So I worry about what the future… Continue reading Writer's Block: Good Morning Heartache

This is a fun question! And a difficult one of course. I think that Natalie Portman, or Anna Paquin could play me (actually I'm probably the worse judge of who should play me, really!). Topher Grace could play JD. Beth would be played by someone awesome like Laura Prepon or I dunno… someone. (I'm not… Continue reading Writer's Block: Casting couch

This has been perhaps the most leisurely week I've had since school has been out. If I didn't wake up with a tense jaw on a semi-regular basis, I would assume that my stress level were actually reduced to zilch. As it is, I think I'm doing rather well! For one, I've been feeling physically… Continue reading From food to entertainment and quite a bit in between

… and if you know me, you probably already know that. This doesn't mean that I don't appreciate a good pub, or great music, or fun dancing or a good DJ, but getting ridiculously drunk and making a fool of myself is something I doubt you'll ever see. I'm perfectly good at making a fool… Continue reading Okay I'm not much for rowdy partying…

a.k.a. one of the best ad campaigns ever! I loved how Isaiah Mustafa responded to tweets and other comments online to make it a better viral marketing campaign but back on the topic of the original video, here's the making of video (which is really nifty to watch): And the 15 second video that they… Continue reading On the topic of Old Spice Commercials…

It has always really been being alone forever. Which I think is less likely now than it would have been at certain other points in my lifetime. When I was younger I always used to think that burning to death in a fire, unable to save all those I loved was a significant fear, however… Continue reading Writer's Block: Fear

Okay this amuses me. I put the blog text of my last entry in and this is what came out: I write likeIsaac Asimov I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

… or is it just that my job suits me rather well? Lately I've been remarkably productive with relation to my research work. I mean, sure it's highly linked to my academic career, but whatever — I do get paid after all, and if I were traveling any less, there would be far more weeks… Continue reading Is it grown up of me to LIKE my job?
