I stopped smoking cannabis for a couple days so I could get some vivid dreams going! Here is one of them ( Read more... )

One of the best parts of live music, in my opinion is the interactions with all the crazy/cool messed up freaks hanging out around you. To that end, I've been thinking about getting a sweet/silly costume for wearing to shows! Especially if you're kinda messed up, its like a beacon for other messed up people to come interact with you, and be awesome ( Read more... )

I have trouble talking about this issue with people, partially because a number of people I mention it to are frankly offended that I'm concerned about it. That issue is, of course, weight gain, and the fact that I have a very difficult time doing so. Not even the munchies have been able to help me. At a BMI of 18 or so, I'm somewhat underweight.

If I get some time later I might comment on some of these, but this is a gallery of Japanese pharmaceutical ads from the '50s to the early '00s. The early '70s ones are particularly out there...

No, this was a sex-with-an-ex dream. (Thanks, irishelf :p ) The problem with these kinds of dreams is that the ( Read more... )

My research assistant job has relocated to the new Anschutz Medical Campus, in eastern Denver. (Technically Aurora, CO, but nobody outside the state is gonna care about that distinction.) While the campus is all new and shiny and pretty, and I have my own space, with a desk and multiple lab benches, as well as a sweet view of downtown Denver / the ( Read more... )

Dates are certainly fun, but if they don't end up really going anywhere, they just end alone and depressed, with you thinking about all the other dates you've had that didn't go anywhere.

On the other hand, I'm going to Chicago Thursday to see Radiohead Friday (!!!!!)

Summer classes are about to start. I got a 3.84 last semester, due to an A- in gen chem 2 lab, (which, apparently, is a 3.7 instead of a 4.0. LAME.) and a B in gen bio 2 lab. That class was burly as hell for a 1.0 credit lab, and it was predominantly evolution/ecology/botony material. Gag me with a spoon,
