I was looking through the usage statistics for my website this morning, when I came across a peculiar report. Below I’ve pasted the “The Referrers by Keyword Report”, which tabulates the keywords used on the popular search engines to locate the website. I can understand someone searching for “Laurel Canyon” and finding Brian/Josh’s review in [...]

The People’s Governor
August 30, 2003
I thought I would mention a something I heard from Arnold Schwarzenegger when he spoke on Sean Hannity and Larry Elder syndicated talk-radio show. When asked about his opinion on gay marriages, he responded, “I do support domestic partnerships…but I believe gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.” Right… not sure what [...]
Fantasy Football Draft: Prologue
August 29, 2003
There is nothing more effective at diverting my attention from studying than football. And, while there are no televised games on right now, tonight is the night that will set the tone for the rest of the football season–the Yahoo Fantasy Football Draft. This is my fourth year competing in fantasy football (I try not [...]
Mr and Mrs Jackson
August 27, 2003
As was previously reported, Jen B., Seth, and I traveled to Pittsburgh this weekend to attend the much-publicized wedding of Kathy M. and Brian/Josh. While there is much to talk about, I feel it is necessary to first speak briefly about our dear friends Josh and Brian. For those of you aren’t familiar with Josh [...]
Just a few random questions to take up time
August 26, 2003
Why do people claim to withdraw money from the “ATM machine” when ATM itself means “automatic teller machine”? Why do we say that a batter “flied out” when “flew” is the past tense of “fly”? Why do UCLA Medical Students come to the library to socialize? Why is the UCLA Instructional Microcomputing Facility referred to [...]
The Flight Home
August 24, 2003
I just got home from Brian/Josh and Kathy’s wedding celebration in Pittsburgh. I certainly intend to “comment” on the wedding experience, but first I wanted to say a little something about the flight home. That was the worst damn flight I have ever been on. US Airways, what were you thinking?! First, the plane is [...]
Way to go Brian!
August 21, 2003
I know I promised to continue my Grandmar story after the exciting cliffhanger ending, but I’m going to be out of town this weekend and don’t have the time tonight. I’ll be traveling to Pittsburgh on Friday with Seth B. and Jen B. to attend the “legal union” of Brian/Josh and Kathy M. If you [...]
Not Concerning Grandmar But Still A Fabulous Journal Entry In It’s Own Special Way
August 19, 2003
A few silly items from today: Libby: Did you hear about that guy who was decapitated by the elevator?Emily: No, I missed that headline. As we walk into Starbucks, Joy proclaiming “I think I’m going to buy some coffee!”. A random lab story: A few of the researchers in our lab were chatting one day, [...]
Grandmar: Part I
August 18, 2003
First of all, why isn’t my Verizon DSL working? Second, why did I receive 90 emails today, of which 75 are email viruses? And, third, why haven’t I been posting journal entries lately? The first two questions have no answer, but the third is easy: It’s Jen’s fault. All Jen’s fault. This weekend Jen and [...]
More Forner
August 14, 2003
I am doing an immunohistochemistry experiment now, but I have some time this morning to follow up on all this talk about Ms. Forner (see previous two journal entries and comments). Regarding Nima’s comment, “You forgot to mention how you would get ONE point higher on your vocab test every single week. That was the [...]
