Well Chris, where did you just come back from? Oh hello me, I just came back from getting sushi with friends. We were celebrating Phil's birthday, which is tomorrow. Big ol' 21. There were, maybe, 20 of us there, and we figured out the check in a record-breaking seven minutes. That's cool Chris, what did you have there? I had all the normals - rice ( Read more... )

"She's built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro....Whhoooooaaaaa. You win again, gravity!"

I don't enjoy running on a track, personally. There's never any change in the scenery, or the path. Its always the same. I get tired of the same. When I run I do it outside, in my neighborhood or in the park. I never run through the same area - my path is always different. If I trip, then I move on and watch a little closer for where my feet fall. ( Read more... )

I dreamt last night that nick chitwood was in the cal poly wind ensemble with me, and he had a big trumpet solo he was going to play in one of our concerts. As the concert was approaching, the director asked him if he was going to do anything exciting in his solo, and he said "you'll see". When the concert happened, I was watching from back stage ( Read more... )

Haven't written in here for awhile. Hmmm... don't know what to say. Thanksgiving break has been good, so far. Went for a walk and later saw a movie with Nicola on Tuesday. My parents came home from their trip that evening. Wednesday was tennis and a short trip to the mall, followed by good ol' family time with my mom, dad, J, and grandma. J and I ( Read more... )

Its after midnight, and I'm still in lab... I'm either a nerd, or insane, or both. Kinda sketchy too - I'm rotovapping down a product that I have to put in the hood with a blast shield. According to the msds, it has an autoignition at 35C. The hot water bath the flask is in is at 285C. Wahoo ( Read more... )

Geewhizz - talk about a shitty end to an otherwise decent day. If anyone is ever having a horrible day, or week, and want to direct it to someone, then please direct it at me. I'm always willing to be a target for my friends. But do not do it to me in the middle of an orchestra rehearsal, in front of everyone. And do not make-up a stupid and untrue ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning with a sore throat. Turned in my wonderful music appreciation essay, which started as a concert review and ended as an essay on the artistic equality of all music, whether classical or regae or two guys jammin' on their guitars. Went to the gym at 10 - Bailey was a no show, so I worked out for a bit before going back home and ( Read more... )
