sometimes men don’t understand

January 29, 2007

I didn’t write this past Friday because I was out having fun, for once. Heck, possibly for the last time in a while (at least for Fridays) because I may have choir practices on Fridays from now until Easter. I will do it, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not exactly the […]

remember to have fun

January 23, 2007

While walking through the square during the second real dusting of snow we’ve had this year the underclassmen hanging out enjoying the snow surprised me. As a New England native, I’m used to the four seasons and usually more copious snow. I don’t get that sense of bewilderment that comes with the first real […]

the music in me

January 19, 2007

If you don’t know already, I sing. I don’t sing original content or anything because I’m not a songwriter, but given the opportunity, I sing pretty much everywhere I can. If you’ve mucked around on this site at all, you may have even come across some samples of my singing.
I won’t say that I […]

the job, the museum, the mollusks

January 16, 2007

(note: I doodle everywhere, all the time, and I decided I ought to start throwing some of those little pieces into my journal, so today is the first such post… these were images i made as holiday cards for my coworkers this year.)
Every once in a while I try to explain to people what I […]

Chinese condom ad

January 15, 2007

This kinda cracks me up… just a little background… you can guess what the ad is going to be about ahead of time because the term for condom in polite company is “small umbrella.”
Really, you want to see a Chinese condom ad.

the red china threat

January 15, 2007

Youtube has a 1960s film on the red China threat.  I find the characterizations used so interesting because while some of the history facts are true, the way it’s put together is so sinister.

follow up on yesterday’s post

January 13, 2007

As a follow up to yesterday’s post, and talking about possible future directions for myself, I’ve looked at different grad programs that might be fitting for me, and each of them have requirements that I need to think about while I’m in the program I’m in now. Here’s a short list:

MIT’s program in science, technology […]

mediocrity

January 12, 2007

This is an eventful week for me because I’m wrapping up classes for the semester. If you’re out there waiting to start (or just starting) your new semester, be extremely happy you are not at Harvard. The year starts later, and the semester doesn’t end until mid-late January. This means when students […]

i see a wonder, and it’s vinegar

January 9, 2007

Last night, after an arduous ordeal of giving an in-class presentation on the environmental impact of certain laptops, I came home and made myself dinner in the wok. I love this wok, as it’s a beautiful finished steel piece. It’s not stainless, and it’s not nonstick, so it takes some taking care of, […]

seeing myself elsewhere

January 9, 2007

I thought it was amazingly amusing while scary at the same time that I have done two of the things listed in XKCD’s recent comic.  How about you?
