Yesterday, a decked out Subaru WRX pulled up next to me at a red light, with a Domino's sign mounted on one of its windows. I thought to myself, what kind of a moronic imbecile will lower himself to become a pizza delivery driver so he can afford his pimpin' car? Up until last night, I thought that self-respecting people didn't take a job as a ( Read more... )

Continuing from the last post on the ways we can entertain ourselves using text messaging, some light hearted Czechs came up with statues that "piss" out not only famous quotes, but also messages sent from mobiles. Blimey, this is genius. I'm beating myself over my noggin' for not coming up with this first.

Google SMS is my new friend. Text messaging is fun again.

Among other things to be thankful for, I'd like to express a small gratitude for the relatively large person who worked out next to me today. You gave me an inspiration to work harder. At the very least I have to commend him for trying to stay active.

Even as a concept, a dermal display is sick, wrong, and oddly fascinating. Customized tattoos that changes according to my mood? I'd be up for that. If the nanotechnologies advance to this point, life will really start to get interesting.

More photos uploaded from the recent jaunt to NYC. I have my first class of fall term in less than an hour, and I still have yet to shower. First day of term is off to a wonderful start.

Memory card reader is being a bitch, but here is the first batch of the pics to NY. We came, we saw, and the heat conquered us. Thinking that the weather was going to be relatively mild was our largest mistake. Sweaty and cranky, but we made it through. The second batch of photos will be uploaded as soon as I can figure out how to get the ( Read more... )

I had the (dis)pleasure at work today of picking up the phone, expecting to speak to another grouchy nurse, but instead finding out that the person on the other end is a sargent for the National Guard in Oregon. Apparently he was trying to locate some Hepatitis vaccines for the people being sent over for the relief effort in the Gulf Coast. The ( Read more... )

Oh holy Mother Theresa, I just picked up another shift; that's 8 days of work in a row. The added income is much appreciated, but I've rarely ever worked so much. 60 hour work week, here I come! Much to my chagrin, OHSU recently cut back on my tuition benefit, so most of the money I will make will go into paying for fall term tuition. On the ( Read more... )

My poor laptop has bitten the dust. Affectionately known as '"Mango," the thing suffered a massive breakdown, courtesy of the clueless bufoons at the Apple Store in Washington Square. The PowerBook went in to have the monitor repaired for the third time, but when I got it back, it developed narcolepsy. It would suddenly go to sleep not even 2 ( Read more... )

Remember that 16,839-karat Tanzanite? Well, I've come up with a use for it. Ram it up my bum, because that's slightly less painful than having to study 6 chapters of material for Cost Accounting and review 5 additional chapters covered before the midterm. The only thing lessening the pain is that I actually saw some of the stuff last term. Cost ( Read more... )
