The wii rocks - makes me feel like I'm 8 again. Didn't get rock band yet, maybe this weekend. Time to figure out what the music scene here is like. I haven't seen a show in ages.

Back! And I passed my prelims, meaning I'm not a total screw up and they will permit me to continue. I think I'll treat myself with a wii and rockband tomorrow.

Will be back in 2 weeks.

Gonna start building the Alton Brown Flower Pot smoker today so I can show these yanks how we cook meat in Texas.

I finished the first half of my comprehensive-demonstrate-everything-you've-learned-ever-and-aren't-a-fuck-up exam Friday. Two weeks of prep, no alcohol, no going out, no video games... That first beer Friday afternoon was one of the best beers of my life. I have to do it all over again, starting preparations this Friday and finishing Aug 7th. I will know sometime this week how I did on the first half...

No AC is a little tough. I don't know how you Northern dwelling folks do it. I realize there are only a few days like this out of the year, but man it's hot (in a relative way). I would be hot in Texas too, but at least I could chill out under the AC vent instead of sweating to death.

I hate studying, and not just in the "Math is hard, I don't want to study" sort of way. I've been in school for fucking-ever now and I there is nothing more pointless to me than studying for the sake of taking an exam. I'm a big fan of discimus agere agendo - we learn to do by doing - so if something isn't stuck...

I think I'll pick this back up. I'm in a strange land, far to the north, and things are very un-Texas. Need to learn what's up in the great lakes area - and maybe put up a profile pic that isn't 5 years old.

Human after all.

Holy shit - more than 5 months since an update. Well there is only one thing to report...

I just got back from Coachella, and Saturday night my world was permanently rocked by Daft Punk. I've seen alot of concerts, clubs, and raves, but *I ain't never seen or heard anything like that.

I may have been under the influence heat stroke,...

Yay. I graduated, finally, a little behind schedule at the age of 26. I am now a biochemist and everyone keeps asking me, "what's next?"

I dunno - eating, drinking, sleeping, screwing. All pretty standard functions, none of which require much training. I do appreciate everything I've learned, and I want to do something like grad school. Most of all I need to figure out...

I need to put a new pic up; I don't look nearly that youthful anymore except in my mind. The bar it was taken in is St. Joe's in New Orleans; I have no idea if it's still standing.

Reality is a bitch and school has helped me avoid it. There are 6 weeks left till I graduate, and my life will go from zero...

My training at UT is coming to an end. I finally graduate in December - about 5 years behind schedule, but hey, at least I'm finishing. I have a feeling my time in Austin is coming to an end too. I have alot of friends here, but I've always felt like I don't belong. Actually, everywhere I go I feel like I don't belong, so...
