Leaving tomorrow to go home for the Annual G-family Fireworks Extravaganza. My parents made the run for the border, bringing back a trunk full of Wisconsin's finest explosives. But sadly, this year my dad is wussing out on the really big stuff, and it sounds like Eric's not being allowed to bring the MortarMaster 5000. We'll just have to be ( Read more... )

Whoopsie, looks like a month flew by without me pausing to post. Hmm. I seem to do that a lot. Well, this month was mostly better than last month. I hired 2 new interns, neither of them bat-shit insane, so that helped. We just wrapped up another fundraiser, the Big Sur Bird Bash, spearheaded by our lead intern. It went pretty well all in all ( Read more... )

So guess which obsessed House fan had to miss the season finale because she was busy trying to convince the honest-to-god mentally ill paranoid delusional intern that she hired a mere two weeks ago that it was for their own good that they were being fired, evicted from the intern housing, and sent back home to North Carolina ( Read more... )

Just when I thought I couldn't love the internet any more, it goes and one-ups itself with 10 Things I Hate About Commandments. Because re-mixed theatrical trailers will never ever stop being funny.

Someone forwarded this to me the other day, and I laughed until I cried. Is it an impassioned argument for creationism using the banana as an example, or an informercial for gay porn? YOU be the judge!

Behold: The Atheist's NightmareRemember, God created bananas so they wouldn't squirt in your face...unlike certain other things which sit ( Read more... )

Well, another April over and done with and under the belt, and I'm still alive. The first half of the month was spent training new interns and wishing it would stop raining for just ONE day so we could get some banding in. ( First came the workshop... )

I'm back from my awesometastic four-day trip to Yosemite, and you know what word best sums up the whole trip? ( WOAH. )

WOO-HOO! The Universe provides! Like a phone call from the governor at 11:59 PM came the phone call from my boss to let us know that the NAOC submission deadline has been pushed back three weeks! Which is fantastic, seeing as how there was no way I was going to finish that abstract by the end of the day. And so my D-U-M dumb luck continues to ( Read more... )

This is what I get for abandoning all previous fandoms to go frolic in the land of McShep. I miss gems like this masterpiece crafted by a brilliant and dedicated House/Wilson fangirl. Yes, it's Brokeback Hospital.

God, I love the internet.

I'm baa-aaack! Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, etc etc. You know the drill. I would go on about how these past two months were a whirlwind of international intrigue, exotic locales, fast cars and faster women and how I was caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse where the price of failure was high: my life...but we all know ( Read more... )
