Brief hike in Will Rogers SP w/ Allison and movie with the ladies of the alley tonite. Yes, it’s as seedy as it sounds.

“THE PAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN”
– Spock, in the landmark first season episode of Star Trek: TOS Devil in the Dark, referring to either a Horta or my ear infection.
This episode has my favorite McCoy line as well - “Damnit Jim! I’m a doctor not a bricklayer!”
(also, sorry about the ear infection…)

Get in line ladies. →
I just ran into @lonelysandwich on the street and introduced myself and mostly didn’t lose my shit. Epic win!
Just dropped peanut butter and jelly on the carpet. Epic Fail! And balance has been restored to the universe again.
You can't win them all
“Nice Guy! (Sometimes weird) But weirdness contributes to magic of course”
“Professor (XXXXX) is very offensive sometimes; almost wanted to report him; thinks very highly of himself. but is a good teacher”
Got my student evaluations from my fall quarter anatomy class with 250+ psycho pre-meds. These are the choicest two. Most were glowing about my lectures and...

I wake up and the first things I do are read a little War & Peace and do a little of Latin. Is that weird? That’s weird isn’t it?
Stinky homeless guy on the bus. It’s been a while. I’ve missed him and jis bretheren.
Added an extra 500GB internal drive to my TiVo. I feel like a l33t hax0r.
Seeing a talk by Jeremy Jackson about evolution and the environment. Should be interesting.

Up in the Sky at Night
Liz Phair : “Stratford-On-Guy” (iTunes | Amazon)
I was flying into Chicago at night Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke The sun was setting to the left of the plane And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow In 27-D I was behind the wing watching landscape roll out like credits on a screen
The earth looked like it was lit...
No Radio Filibuster tonite. Go check out one of our old episodes at malcolmbrewery.com
Find of the day - comfy chairs in the engineering library for reading/sleeping.
Just rushed through a lecture so fast that I let them put 15 early. Merry Christmas you little shits!
I just had the urge to grab a squirrel that crossed my path and bite its head off, in honor of Ozzy of course.
Dinner (homemade dal), computer nerdery, organizing spices, Planet Earth, & Rock Band with @reginakruglyak. For the epic win!!
Dante “You hate people!” Randall “But I love gatherings. Isn’t it ironic?”
Thank u for reminding me of this exchange iPhone!
Faked my way through another genetics lecture today. Sure I know what pleiotropy is.

Just woken @ 5am by sound of shattering glass. Not intruder; just my roommate’s ridiculously dim cat knocking over a glass. Thx @langley!
Nxt research proj.: the physiological response that causes an itch in the middle of a long song on Rock Band. Do I secretly want to fail?
In the land of peanut butter people “all natural” translates to “you will get peanut oils all over the f-ing place when you open this”
“Smart People” would have been unbearable at the theater but it’s amusing background at home.
Even free coffee from Starbucks feels dirty.
Question:
filigree:
I lost the connector cord for my LaCie external HD. I have no idea what it’s called. And I refuse to ask Yahoo Answers.
One end of the cord connects to my USB; the other is irregularly hexagonal - kind of like if you cut a stop sign in half along the horizontal axis.
HALP.
My guess is what you need is something like this. It’s just a TypeA/TypeB USB2.0 connector.
Hands down - Hollywood Blvd is the strangest street in the world. Side note - lots of celebrity sightings tonite.

25 Random Things About Me
This is one of those annoying internet tasks that I normally never do, but someone ‘tagged’ me in one today, and I was feeling especially witty so I posted it on facebook. Since the Venn diagram of people that follow me on tumblr and those that are my friends on facebook has little overlap I feel it’s OK to post it here…
1. I hate these sorts of things. 2. I’m...

"...non-believers."
I’ve been thinking about my reaction to the inauguration this week, and I hesitate to write about it since it seems to be ‘the thing to do’. This IS an important moment though, and those don’t happen often, so I’m going to indulge myself. It was hard to react at first since I didn’t get to watch it live and just read it online, and have since been watching...
Fell asleep in my car when I parked it on campus. Seriously, I need to find a way to sleep more/better.
Another day, another lecture I’m hardly prepared for. Repeat as necessary.
