Saying goodbye to 2011

December 31st 2011

Twenty-eleven has come and gone and looking back, I have been woefully inactive in the space.  Had I waited another week, it would have been a year since my last update.  In the past, this would be the point when I would offer apologies followed by a vow to try and do better.  I know [...]

A new decade has dawned

January 8th 2011

We’ve finally said goob-bye to the noughties, all proper-like this time, and already things are looking exciting. On the school front, I have an impending second-year exam coming up in which I get to state the research I’ve been doing with silver nanoparticles and, in part, defend its validity. I can’t say that it is [...]

Thoughts on my first official conference as a graduate student

August 10th 2010

First off, I am not mean enough for the DC area. While I have been to the DC area once or twice as a child, I was just that, a child and I was buffered from the reality of DC by my grandparents and the safety of their van. I didn’t have much trouble making [...]

By Jupiter’s Cock!

June 14th 2010

When first I began watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand, I felt it uninspired; an ill-concieved guise of cinematic bloodshed to cover what appeared to be little more than cock, and breasts and love-making.  Each episode contained more nudity than an issue of playboy and sexual exploits to put Emmanuelle1 to shame.  What follows is a [...]

First Year Down

June 5th 2010

More quickly than I would have anticipated, the first year of my graduate career has come to a close.  What that means for me is that I no longer have to be plagued by the dual (or triple) task of research and class (or TAing, with any luck).  It wasn’t bad until this past spring [...]

Charlese

April 24th 2010

Every now and then I go tooling around youtube.  This is usually brought on by a desire to hear a specific song that I haven’t yet added to my library and I invariably get caught up in listening to covers of the intended song.  Tonight was such a night and Moondance was the song I [...]

EBTG: Low Tide of the Night

April 20th 2010

There are times when you hear a song and it just seems to resonate so well with your current situation that you would swear that the lyricists peaked into your mind to find inspiration.  That is how I feel about Low Tide of the Night by Everything But the Girl.  Off of their album, Temperamental, [...]

85-90% Survival Rate

April 19th 2010

I must admit that I do enjoy the fact that no one really knows about this small, insignificant, place on the web that I have claimed as my own.  It allows me a certain degree of freedom that I am not afforded in other places.  Here, I am allowed to be myself; i am allowed [...]
