I am hideous at soliciting friends, which I have proven by not really trying to get any. I guess I am a little uncomfortable trying to find people by letting them read my thoughts. I like reading blogs a lot though. I don't really feel like changing my picture everytime I comment or post. My blog is really brown and basic ( Read more... )

Last night I called my grandmother and grandfather to wish them a happy 60th wedding anniversary, which if you think about it, is a monumental occasion. And they both have been relatively healthy too ( Read more... )

I love Stephen Stahl. If you don't know, he is the godfather of psychopharmacology. He has written the best textbooks and is on the largest number of scientific advisory boards and has given the best lectures and has written the most papers on the topic. Having had the pleasure of interviewing him several times for my research in the major ( Read more... )
