rickets

too true. I've been well, how are you doing??

There is always room to complain Where you living now

happy birthday, my man. it's been quiet over here for a while! hope you're doing well...

I did not see The Lookout, but it's on "the list."

It's kinda amazing how Gordon-Levitt went from annoying sitcom actor to really interesting actor.

people always say crazy shit on anesthesia... hospital types are accustomed to it. often people ask for a cig, or *another* drink, or so i hear

AT least you did not come home from that and post all over the news boards like some people seem to do

i'm not feeling too bad myself right now. good for us.

Your friend's sister must be the awesome then.

Sometimes crazy is just the price of admission.

So, hey, how's that West coast treating you?

The Seattle area sounds really nice. I've been to Portland, and I looooove it. I consider it, along with Madison and Chicago, one of the places I'd like to end up.

i will say, that when i'm depressed, i only listen to music that allows me to wallow in my sadness. i think i listened to more elliott smith than any human actually should. now i'm trying to listen to more pop, because even if the lyrics are sad, it sounds happy. next will probably be hardcore. it's almost like the stages of grief?
and i'm really sorry to hear about your relationship. i know how tough a break up after that long is.

for the record, i HATE the black eyed peas.

glad to hear the video provided some enjoyment. i hadn't seen that in years before the other day. Miki was so damn hot.

i lost you from my friends list while you were gone. let's fix that.

Outstanding as of late.
Hows Seattle treating you? I almost moved out there before I moved to the twin cities

ya if you click on home (top right under your user name) then on your home page scroll down (past private messages) you will see on the right, friends blogs...that is what was once "journals" also the friends threads and birthdays are there too.

Oh I'm sure you'd live...but it would be an empty exsistence for sure.

hey... i can see you all of a sudden. hope the pacific northwest has been good for you.

you're back!!!??

Ah, I missed your whole NYC trip.

And yeah, I'm not sure why I was thinking that you were going to Arizaon instead of Washington. Slip on my part I guess.

I'm really just immersed in lab work right now. I had a meeting with my PIs a few weeks ago where we went over everything that I have so far and tried to come up with a list of everything I'll need to make a convincing case for my committee to let me graduate. I'm just trying to check things off the list, but as I'm sure you know there are a ton of diversions along the way, and many experiments don't turn out the you thought they might. I think I need to really just keep banging away at things and hopefully by January or so I'll have a better idea of whether my committes it really going to let me go.

I'm not even that eager to leave the lab, and in fact will probably stay on here as a postdoc for a little while after I finish just to wrap up a bunch of things and get another paper or so before moving on. I'm really just tired of being a student, of having everyone constantly ask me when I'll be finished, and of being pretty much broke all the time. I'd really like that to be over. As I'm sure you can understand.
