Holy Updates!
Hey there, Sue's LJ fans! Sorry it's been a while. I've been researching, ringing, dealing with asshats... you know, business as usual.
I did get to go back to BW on Tuesday to present at chemistry seminar. I was invited to come back and talk about my job, graduate school, and how BW helped prepare me for those two experiences. It went really ( Read more... ) -
Seriously?
Maybe someone out there can explain this phenomenon to me: This evening after my run, I was packing up my stuff in the locker room and there was a gal using one of the lockers near the one I was using. I was annoyed because she was taking up her fair share of space as if I wasn't even there, but that wasn't the confusing part. She kept primping ( Read more... ) -
This Must be a Sign of the Apocalypse
Wow. I guess there is something out there that's worse than leggings and Ugg boots.
In other news, this is my first LJ post using my new laptop. Woot! I've been looking to replace my desktop because it's been slow/pissy ever since the virus incident in the summer. And ever since then, I've been paranoid about Internet security and fun stuff like ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes I Exasperate Myself...
It's always great to start a new year with a game of Musical Blood Samples and some crappy data. I can handle that. I'm hoping for a year of good data so maybe I can finally get published (it's only Jan. 5...), no health problems in my family (myself included), and minimal drama. Actually, I think as long as everyone stays healthy, I can deal ( Read more... ) -
Annnnd It's Official
Here you are folks, the worst fashion trends of the decade. (Normally I would get on a soapbox and remind the world that we start counting at the number one, not zero, so I don't understand why decades run 0-9 and not 1-10. Anyway...)
For #4 and #8, thank you. I'm glad to know someone else out there feels my pain. I agree with the entire list, ( Read more... ) -
Holy Balls.
When I was a graduate student, I used to enjoy shopping at Wal-Mart. I was able to get decent stuff for a pretty low price, which is great when you don't have a lot of money. Of course, that was the Wal-Mart in Okemos, MI. My local Cleveland-area Wal-Mart is at least the 4th circle of hell, so I usually go to Target. As sheer bad luck and cock ( Read more... ) -
So is This an LJ "Postie?"
To quote Alexis, "Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?"
I was reading something online today and I noticed one of the banner ads. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it correctly, I thought it said something about buying a Christmas gift for a "preggers" friend. I immediately held back my rage because I hate the word " ( Read more... ) -
Asshats on Parade: Lose the Fat, Keep the Cupcakes
Some People OK With ObesityI'll bet these are the same people who try to wear leggings/clothes that are far too small for them. If these people can't figure out that their health and well-being are in jeopardy, their doctors need to hit them over the head with a blunt object. (Ironically, one of the headlines off to the right of this article had ( Read more... ) -
Wanker Woes
I'm tired of hearing about the same old crap in the news. You know, the shootings at Ft. Hood, that balloon boy thing (can we just sterilize the whole family?), and embellished leggings on the list of holiday must-haves. [shudders]
In an effort to give you some variety, here's some news about penis fractures and what causes them. (The news- ( Read more... )
