Anglicans versus Roman Catholics
I have had a lot of thoughts in the past couple of months about changing religions after I leave Raleigh. The denomination I am pursuing is Anglican / Episcopalian ( Read more... ) -
A lesson in stupidity
I am signing up for the Chicago Marathon on October 12, 2008. Let the training commence. -
Guitar Hero
It's a bad sign that I have been playing Guitar Hero too much when I have these 3 songs stuck in my head:
Weezer - My Name Is Jonas
Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock
Danzig - Mother
I will have to download the latter 2 songs from iTunes. On an unrelated note, I recently discovered The Decemberists and absolutely love their music, especially their ( Read more... ) -
Saturday's Duathlon
The Finish Strong 4 City Duathlon Series (Winston-Salem short course) results are published: I ended up 59/74 competitors. Not bad ... 15 people behind me! I was shooting for under 01:40:00, which I beat by 00:02:15, and not to be in the last 3 duathletes ( Read more... ) -
Boston Interview
I had an on-site interview while I was in Boston last Friday. I'll save you the suspense - I wasn't offered the position. In fact, I found out during my interview with HR that the position had been filled already (?!?!).

Come From The Land Of The Ice And Snow
When I left Raleigh on Wednesday, it was a sweltering 80°F in early February. When I arrived in Boston the same day, it was raining and in the mid-30s. I had to pack my jacket in the suitcase because there was no way I could've worn it without drenching myself in sweat ( Read more... ) -
Playboy
I have no idea why:
(a) I am receiving mail advertisements from Playboy
(b) the USPS would forward the advertisement (it was not in an envelope, and clearly it was junk mail)
I bet my roommate Ryan got a kick out of it though. I sure did this morning. -
Another hot date
Another hot date with my office PC computer, Entropy. I'm definitely ready for graduate school to be over. Hopefully I'll be out of here by 11 PM tonight ( Read more... ) -
I drank antifreeze today, what did you do?
I was hoping for a quiet day at work because the university was closed, but a pipe above my lab broke and antifreeze (mixed with scorching hot water) rained down from the ceiling. I was able to attach a funnel to the ceiling to stop it from flooding parts of the floor (eventually a labmate found the right valve to shut it down), but I ingested ( Read more... ) -
Friday Night Lights (i.e., Thoughts)
I don't know about you, but me and my hot date "Entropy" (my office PC computer often does random and chaotic things, hence the nickname) are having a fantastic Friday evening. I hope you are too ( Read more... )
