Today is my good friend Jill D. a.k.a Jill a.ka. “that girl you worked with for one summer at Motorola”‘s birthday! 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 [...]

Hilarious!
July 29, 2003
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 [...]
Bob Hope
July 28, 2003
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 [...]
Marty!
July 27, 2003
Here’s a fun snippet from an Instant Messenger conversation I had with my dad last night: John: Hey, Marty, you there?Marty: Hey man, I’m downloading. * Movie Quote of the Day: “You pushed me down the stairs.”

I was browsing through AZCentral.com this afternoon, catching up on my Cardinals news, when I came across a few articles that I swear I have seen before: “Cardinals Hope New Players Bring New Attitude to Season”“Top Picks Missing as Cards Open Camp”“Camp Will Start With Five Out of Action” Seriously, I don’t even know how [...]
How to Spot a Single Man
July 25, 2003
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 [...]
Brainstorm
July 24, 2003
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 [...]
Retardo
July 22, 2003
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 [...]
Different Strokes?
July 19, 2003
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 [...]
