Of course, I’m sure you all remember Jill from the lone Tempe youth sports basketball game she came to during the summer between junior and senior year in high school. She sat in the [...]

I just got done watching an episode of the Jay Mohr-produced series “The Last Comic Standing”, though I think it would be more appropriate to call the show “First Audience Member Laughing”, using a reality format to find the first person to actually laugh at one the comic’s jokes. An instant hit! The show could [...]

So Bob Hope died today. I find it interesting how this man lived for 100 years, supposedly entertained the world for 80 of those years, yet I know virtually nothing about him. I know from various news programs that he supported our troops during World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and others; he was [...]

How to Spot a Single Man

I was reading through an article titled “Permeation and Gating Residues in Serotonin Transporter”, when it became incredibly necessary for me start going through random emails from the past few years. As it turns out, Jill sent me this picture in an email titled “How to Spot a Single Man” about four years ago. It’s [...]

Today was a pretty eventful day: As with the previous four days, I’ve been getting into the lab about 7am to administer BrdU, or 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine 5’-monophosphate for the more chemically-inclined (Joy, Ravi, Richard). BrdU is a thymidine analog that will be incorporated into a cell’s DNA during replication, that is, when the cell is dividing. [...]

Hey everyone! * The Most Annoying Thing in the World of the Day: Don’t you hate it when you’ve basically reached the end of your deodorant stick, and the plastic base starts coming through the few remaining patches of deodorant? It takes three times as long to get your armpit sufficiently deodorized, and you have [...]

This past Sunday was Richard’s birthday, so Pejman and I took a day trip to our exotic neighbor to the south, San Diego, to hang out for the afternoon and see the Diamondbacks v. Padres game. The long and short of it is that the Diamondbacks lost (Richard’s fault), but we had a great time [...]

With regards to Nima, Dustin, Brian/Josh, and Richard’s comment on my journal entry from June 17th, I just wanted to clear a few things up. I didn’t say that any of the shows listed were not quality or that I did not like them, just that I would be fine without having to hear about [...]
