yesterday i saw former president bill clinton speak on health care (and briefly and clearly regrettably on the war in iraq) in san francisco. his speech was intelligent, compelling, and at times hilarious. i miss 1992 to 2000 so much.

yesterday evening i watched the cbs news and saw footage of myself staring adoringly at bill.

it was a good

i am deeply in love with the game 'lumines.' tetris aside (of course), i have never been so impressed by a puzzle videogame. it's original, clever, and a ton of fun. my one complaint is i can't play a game in under an hour. i often spend close to two hours playing a single game. this is a problem... i may need to give up sleep or one of my two

today i received a parking ticket, had a turd deposited in my car (don't ask), and discovered that spike tv has replaced its daily afternoon 'the next generation' marathon with a daily afternoon 'voyager' marathon.

i truly hate my life.

tomorrow night i will be seeing roger waters (former songwriter, bassist, and creative genius behind pink floyd) in concert.

i am so god-damn fucking excited. this really is a dream come true for me.

i just wish the rest of the band were going to be there as well.

whoever thought to combine star wars, legos, and video games really deserves... something fabulous. while certainly not a perfect game, the new (original trilogy) star wars legos brings me so much happiness. i don't know how i lived before having the chance to battle a lego rancor, watch a non-vocalizing lego vader convey to lego luke the truth ( Read more... )

i have just ordered the most wonderful bumper sticker ever from a group called Paleoartisans down in New Mexico. i try to keep the back-side of my car relatively clutter free but I just could not pass this one up:

"Reunite Gondwanaland!"

so hilarious. i worry it may be a bit TOO obscure though.

a student emailed me to explain what on earth could be more important than coming to class and learning about the wonders of mitosis and meiosis ( Read more... )

life is calming calm and my stress level is low. now i have the time to confirm my nerdiness by having a blog of my very own. yay!

tomorrow i get to lecture for 6 hours with a bitch of a sore throat. super yay!
