  • Sorry I don’t have more to say, but I had to post this. Ouch.

    Lately I’ve been getting ready to do some crushing and min seps. I had to clean the whole crushing room because no one takes care of it. That was not easy. I also have had some interesting exchanges w/ my advisor. Here they are as best I can remember them (I forgot to take my brain medicine):

    2/22
    MA(me): So, the crushing room is ready to go?
    CJ(my advisor): Yes, hopefully you will have all the samples processed in a few weeks.
    MA: I hope so. But, you know, this is a very busy time in my class schedule right now…
    CJ: Remember, research is priority number 1!
    (pause)
    CJ: …within reason.

    2/10
    MA: So, do you know about any new students you’ll be getting for next year?
    CJ: (aggressively)Why, you want to know about field assistants?
    MA: Well, yeah… (enthusiastically)but I really just want to know who’s joining our team!
    CJ: I’m not on the selection committee, and I’m really not at liberty to divulge such information.

    Can’t you feel the love?

    By the way, if anyone is interested in joining my Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball League, just click here and type in “81639″ for the ID and “sylmar” for the password. It’s a 6×6 rotisserie league (w/ OPS and HLD added). If you’ve never done fantasy sports before, it’s a fun and easy way to get into a season!

    Let them eat cake, I always say. Oh, and beat $c.

    P.S. I just ordered Split Lip Rayfield’s first two albums from their new online store. This band is so awesome. They have four members: guitar, mandilin, banjo, and one-stringed home-made bass (made out of a gas tank). If you have any affinity towards bluegrass or punk, you would love these guys! Even if you like neither, it is still all around good music. I would not be afraid to take my punk friends or my mother to see them live. They are in Iowa City tonight (2/23@Gabe’s Oasis, only $7)! Awesome live show and just 100% great music! If you or you go, you won’t regret it.

  • 1. For helping me.

  • Your advisor is so horrible.  Great, she’s gonna read this.  That’s how I got DENIED FROM UTAH. 

  • You’re such a nerd, I can’t believe you’re sitting around commenting on my thing when you just said you were going to write your paper. 

  • More pictures of me and Patch.

  • Here’s us again.

  • Reserve a double dose for exceptional posts!  Do you know how hard it is to write “reserve” when your fingers natually want to write Reseda? 

  • I haven’t had the dogs to sand, but water and snow turns them into crazyies. Dog tries to run off and snort snow like a fiend, and Bentley sits on his butt and stays out for as long as I’ll let him.

    Man, that monk is nuts. I like how the article pointed out that the thinner caused “searing pain”. What did he think would happen?!?

    I’m only giving  you one eProp on honor of sheilster’s new rules.

    Unless you think this is exceptional….

  • well… i generally hate everyone/thing, but i will not hate you guys b/c you are both cool.

  • cool. thanks dude. i will copy a paleojabba’s best of the pixies for you in return. i think you will like them.

  • Uhm, Yeah, I sure do feel the love, damn advisors, I cant stand haters, Id like to stand on one…. *angst*
