Go see the movie. It is hilariously funny, disgustingly gross and, in parts, disturbingly true.

I went to Half-Price Books, picked up a few books and decided not to buy them. Then went to Target and picked up a few movies but decided not to buy them. In all, I saved a ton of money. :)

So what cool stuff did you buy on Black Friday?

So, after back spasms brought on by a pulled back muscle, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to change my eating/exercise habits around. Besides, I've decided that I am going to hit 30 in the best shape of my life. That way it won't be a big deal (not that it is right now). I have the exercise stuff down but I really need to eat more ( Read more... )

Manchester United has said that they have taken an interest in teenage US football, sorry soccer, phenom Freddy Adu. I can see a bunch of editors salivating over the prospect of Man U deciding not to sign him... I'll take $500 for "Much Adu About Nothing ( Read more... )

So, there are advantages to being a Geek. I am sitting at the Columbus airport right now. All around me are people staring blankly at their laptops because they can't connect to the net. The wireless connection detects the network and it even connects to it but when you try to browse, it says there is no connection. I would have left it at that but ( Read more... )

So I read this on the news. Free, clean and unlimited energy is all well and good but overturning the first law of thermodynamics. *That* is incredible. Of course, the chances of an experimental finding, by technologists at that, overturning something as basic as the first law are infinitesimal but speculating over it makes me giddy.

Hi, My name is Unmesh and I am a PhD student. At least that's how a support group for PhD students would start off. I'm tired. I'm grumpy. I'm frustrated. I feel stupid. I just want to go home and curl up into bed. Not only is research frustrating, my laptop has decided to act up too so I am currently enjoying that most favorite of masochistic ( Read more... )

Hello my captive audience. How are you today? Isn't it funny that I can post anything here and all of you will read it. Every single one of you. Heck, I couldn't get some of you to do that if I paid you. And now that I have told you how pathetic you are, one might think you would stop reading. But, oh no, you can't. See... captive audience! I could ( Read more... )

So, I'm going to skip Days 3 and 4 because the photos are on my laptop at the moment. I'll get back to them at some point, but the big news for today was that

( I Conquered Grouse Mountain! )

I'm le tired. I went biking around Stanley Park and along the sea wall for about 2 hours and my back and knees ache. But it was a great ride. I especially enjoyed the part around the park and I saw some people playing cricket! The rest of the ride which was through the city wasn't quite as spectacular. Right now there are fireworks going off which ( Read more... )
