The NY Mets...
are a bunch of soul-sucking bums, who shall be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
There is always next year? Does there have to be?!

"How strange it is to be anything at all"
Yeah, so I do exist. I'm back in the States again... think I'm gonna stay this time. I said goodbye to my research group last week, which was a kind of strange experience ( Read more... ) -
Paris... and stuff
So I'm bad at the regular updates. My girlfriend was here last week, and that was great. We went to Paris over the weekend; my first time there. It is a pretty amazing place. We visited a friend who lives in Paris, and she gave us the grand tour. We ended up walking a 30k loop around the main part of the city, starting at the Arc de Triumph, ( Read more... ) -
Je voudrais louer un Van?
I had an interesting weekend. On Saturday, went to Conforama, which is the Swiss furniture store where everything "only lasts for two years", according to the local intellegence. My roomate bought a sofa bed, and we couldn't get a taxi to take us back to the flat with it. So we rented a van from the furniture store, and I got to drive, since I ( Read more... ) -

I think I only dislike the Cubs because my friend Steve is a White Sox fan, but somehow ( Read more... ) -

There was a billboard outside my apartment with racist sheep on it last week. It has been replaced by a picture of some creepy looking older guy doing a really halfhearted ( Read more... ) -
Bureau of Strangers
Whew. It's been a busy few of days. I went to the Bureau des Etrangers (immigration office; although Bureau of Strangers would be a pretty choice band name), and filled all the necessary paperwork and got my temporary attestation of residence, bought a prepaid cell phone, set up Skyp so that I could call the states from my office, filed for my ( Read more... ) -
On the ground
So I arrived in Lausanne and have started settling in. I'm living just a few metro stops from downtown, in an apartment with some other guys in my lab. Right now I'm battling a jet lag induced headache, and sitting in my office at the university catching up on the email. I spent the morning wandering around the city. Sundays in Lausanne seem to ( Read more... )
