Bustin' Out

Today's Yahoo! Horoscope: If you're feeling bored with life, the reason could be that there's no wiggle room. You've done such a good job of getting organized and putting everything into its place that you forgot to leave room for disruption! It might seem illogical to schedule in free time, but this could be the only way to ensure that your life always has a few question marks in it. And it's in those question marks that adventure lies! So make sure you always have a couple hours to go exploring.


Wine, Cheese & all that Jazz was great. I am, however, lacking in photos. You'll have to use your imagination.

Keywords: wine (lots of it), cheese (some), jazz (more than the cheese), Boys & Girls Club, fundraising auctions (silent and live), 750 area residents dressed in their cocktail party best.

As an admitted consequence of the wine part of the evening, I was feeling a bit under the weather (mind you, I get a hangover from a single glass of wine -- I don't drink enough water on a day-to-day basis) so I spent the whole day at home. Slept in, read, watched movies, and worked on several long-neglected projects around here.

I hate to give any support to horoscopes, but mine for today was dead on about the free time thing.

Today, alas, is no different. I woke up with a planned day ahead -- but almost immediately I shook that plan off. I will still head over to the Brit's for the game today (anyone else find it humorous that it's my British friend that's hosting this year's Super Bowl party?), but I won't stay long ... maybe not even for the whole game. All the good commercials are over by halftime, anyway. Until then, I have things to do here, things that have been begging for attention for awhile.

Namely, not my computer. Time to get to work.

Happy February, all!

I can imagine that being fun... I went to a couple of wine events last year, they're always a blast, but then again I'm a bit of a wino.

Perfect

Biochemistry brings strange revelations. All right, so I'm not one for smooth transitions. It's been another week for reflection and whatnot, and that includes while I'm in class. Have you ever taken a look back at yourself and realized how completely and totally different you are now than you were X number of years ago? I guess I'm thinking specifically of my college-aged readers ... Take, for instance, you in high school versus you now. I know I've changed; I look roughly the same, but just about everything else is different, especially my thought processes. I am a Christian scientist. Well, Christian engineer (this semester, more scientist some days). Those two sides don't always get along very well. But today, in biochemistry, the intricacy of the glycolysis pathway hit me and my "inner response" was something like, "Holy cow." Okay, so maybe that last sentence didn't make much sense to anyone but me. Let me rephrase. We were

SWG2L: Party Of One

Jonah Hill, continuing to make Jason Segal uncomfortable. (Universal Pictures) Matthew the Waiter: Hey, how's it going? Peter Bretter: Hey, I'd like to grab some dinner, please. Matthew: Okay, great. Is your wife gonna meet you? Peter: No. Matthew: Your girlfriend? Peter: No, I don't have a girlfriend, so... Matthew: [confused] You're just by yourself? Peter: Yeah. Matthew: Sucks. Okay, so just one. Here's your wine list, your menu, come on. You want, like, a magazine or something? It's gonna be boring if you're just sitting by yourself. Peter: No, I'll be alright. Thank you. Matthew: I would just be so depressed. ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Yeah, that's right. I just quoted that . I swear, it's relevant.) I had coffee with one of my single friends a few weeks back and we got onto the topic of "Things To Do When You're Single." More accurately, we were talking about things that should be experienced and one

Falling Asleep In The Lab

That title is misleading. Usually when I use a title like that, it implies that it has actually happened. I haven't fallen asleep in the lab. That would be the ultimate in nerdy. I am, however, zoning out in the lab. I'm as good as unconscious. So much to do, so much time spent on a computer. Despite my "week off," I feel as though I've accomplished nothing. This isn't really true -- I have the homework assignments to prove it -- but there's something about hours of typing that boil down to 10 pages of veritable crap to make you feel as though you haven't really done anything. That and the fact that most of your blood has pooled in your lower body due to lack of physical activity. Egads. So ... How's it going? Life is okay here. Pretty uneventful. Homework, regular work, etc. etc. Very much unlike last week, but that's not a bad thing. I could use a good six months before another Week like last week. This week's major event is
