So I hung out with a real old friend tonight. Him and I used to be really close, but he was going through a really self destructive-phase for the past several years, so I had been avoiding him. I am neither proud of, nor ashamed, of doing so. I wasn't in the best of mental health, so I kinda had to.
In any case, he...

I've decided to learn how to knit.
Just 'cause.

k, them it's settled. you are officially going to be called gramma pogojoe. 
I've been profoundly lazy as of late. My world has consisted of Belgian beer, FPS games where I kill Nazi's, Neverwinter nights, and late night viewings of the family guy.
Lather. rinse. repeat.
SO in a burst of energy, I finally made a pic of me fit (you will all notice I am no longer a tabby-cat). Holiday season is in full force here, which...

cupidsvictim:
even though you aren't johnny, doesn't mean you can't have his haircut!
So you'd think that someone with a PhD would be, oh I don't know...
Smart?
You'd THINK that, but you'd be wrong. I can only think of one name for someone who habitualy eats Chipotle, knowing full well it will make him sick. Everytime. Ill. Every. Time.
That person is an idiot.
I'm trying to take it easy, but I found myself in the lab...

It is done.
As of 4:52PM today, I have become Dr. Jason A. Shockey.
Freaky. VERY.
I still have some corrections to make, but they are all minor and should be done well before the 24th (which is the official deadline for submission). My advisor and labmates are officially nuts. They bought me the 4th editions of Alberts et al. (since a paper of mine...

Well yeah, now that you are a Dr., you would have to have an enemy. You would be the diabolical doctor bent on world domination and all.
sdlrow:
Yes! You can help me take over the world! I need someone with a maniacl laugh.
Over the past couple of years, I've noticed my body becoming... scholarly like. I mostly attribute this to my sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise (ignoring the occasional hike). Tonight I went out to dinner with my heterosexual life partner (Don't laugh. He's closer to me then my brother), well call him Greg (because thats what he calls himself) to my favorite watering hole, the...

I don't recall any specific conversations. I'm not opposed to finishing my degree. I just don't want to finish it for Fashion Design. I changed my mind about what I want to do with my life. It happens.
scarydoll:
Congratulations!!!! I'm so proud of you! Sorry, if that makes me sound like your mom, but I can't help it. Dave is proud of you to. He'd also like to know...
Could you, as his new doctor, write him a note excusing him from work tonight?

Relax. Look at your Hitchhiker's Guide. You have trained for this. You know where your towel is. Anyway, you should be used to ceremonial robes by now. 
scarydoll:
So, how does this defense work? Should I plan to visit the following weekend for celebration and/or comforting?
Since I turned in my thesis for my committee's "perusal" Ive not left the house. I have this sinking suspicion Ill have to leave tomorrow. I have a Halloween party to attend.
Unless I figure out worm-holes tonight. But since Im really just lazing around, drinking cran-raspberry juice and painting little figures, I dont really see that happening.
Meh.

Good luck with the thesis!!
cupidsvictim:
cran-raspberry? yuck! 
It is done.
144 pages of thesis goodness. I just realized that is one gross. Maybe there is a god...
In a fortnight I have to convince 5 PhD's that I'm as smart as they are. And then I'll be Dr. PogoJoe.
Assuming I pass.....

What are you doing?

look at this!
Today was my brother's 26th birthday, so I did alot of family stuff today. At some point my grandmother slipped 100 bucks into my bag with a card saying how proud she was of me, for working so hard on my thesis (one can only assume more is forthcoming when I actually graduate). It's kinda weird, from the inside looking out, a PhD doesn't seem...

I was too tired to even offer them some Kool-aid.

i don't know who did the rollins/NIN thing. i really wish i knew! i just downloaded it. perhaps it was just some dude who did it at home and posted it? well, i can send you a copy of the mix when i'm done if you want.
My thesis is due on wed. It will be done on time.
WITHOUT any weird, non-eucledian sanity warping rituals on my part. Cthulhu rests....
The cost of getting this thing done is of course the complete evaporation of my social life (well, except for shows and gaming ) and my complete inability to go camping this fall. I REALLY wanted to get down to Shenadoah...

whoa, that's a pretty concise rundown of the death of leaves.
i just prefer to think of autumn as summer in its death throes, all scientific explanations aside.

you're awesome! thanks for the suggestion of putting rollins on the mix. i forgot about him. and the tiger army song is going on there for sure. but what i really wanted to tell you is that i found this song that is FUCKING AMAZING. it's rollins spoken word "i know you" over NIN's "a warm place" (one of my all-time favorites) looped twice. it's gonna be the first song on the mix. when i first heard it, my head almost exploded.
The devil made me do it.
Well, he didn't really make me do it, he just asked me to do it so nicely I would have felt guilty didn't.
You know how it is.
