this Lamarck character is really depressing to read about. he's this underpaid assistant who has to keep defending the purpose of his job so it doesn't get cut. no body believes his theory, which turns out to be closer to the truth than anything that his critics believed. cuvier seems to be dead set on discrediting him. he gets named professor of ( Read more... )

there was an 'open house' today at ____________ (definitely almost just posted my address on the internet), i mean my house. anyways, this meant one thing.... in order to sell the house at an optimal price it had to look like no one lived in it. i hate homes like this, homes that are too sanitary to be called homes but should be more accurately ( Read more... )

the master's were actually riveting today. tiger woods fourth masters title and ninth major, that's huge. he's halfway to the next jack nicklaus (his golf idol) who has the record setting eighteen majors, six of which are masters. i realize that this probably sounds like absolute jibberish to most people, but to me it was quality entertainment.

in light of recent events (aka- me not getting into health sci at mac) i have no sweet clue what the hell to do. this sucks. there is little else to say on the matter except that the time to make a decision is quickly approaching and i just don't have a clue ( Read more... )

i wrote megan's grad write-up even though i wasn't supposed to. I kind of get the sense that it doesn't mean anything to any one but me. it doesn't really seem to say much about megan. but how much can you say in three sentences? how much are you supposed to reveal? it's not really for the total strangers who read it, it's for the people who know ( Read more... )

in an act of utter desperation i sent my mac application full of typo's, under the assumption that it wouldn't actually send, just like the three thousand other times it failed to send today. imagine my horror when i realized it had sent with out me, REALLY looking it over. so much time, so much energy, the culmination of so much, ruined by the ( Read more... )

i did it! i'm done my mac application.... well almost, i still have to read it through and actually send it but i'm done. and now there's nothing more i can really do but sit back and let a bunch of randoms handle my future. victory dance. and alas all in time to catch the rest of the west wing ( Read more... )
