Roger M., beloved friend and fellow member of the ol’ Corona del Sol Clan, celebrated his 23rd birthday this week. Perhaps you are familiar with Roger under one of his alternate identities which include but are not limited to: Boeja, Boejer, Boej, Boger, Bog, Boge, Doge, Doger, Rogelio Ramirez, CEO of Boge Boge Industries, The [...]

Court Jester James
October 30, 2003
I’ve watched exactly eight minutes of LeBron James playing basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I am officially sick and tired of him. Eight minutes was more than enough time to hear “Thunder” Dan Majerle. Sean Elliot, and the rest of the ESPN lackies talk about how “The New King is in Town” or how [...]
Boozefest 2003: A Tribute
October 28, 2003
The Annual Neuroscience BoozeFest (a.k.a The Neuroscience Retreat) took place last weekend in Laguna Beach, and just as anticipated, BoozeFest 2003 was definitely good for a few memories. We immediately broke our traditional driving arrangements when Brian/Josh drove in my place, but this gave me the perfect opportunity to get a few pictures from the [...]
Recap of My Exciting Week
October 24, 2003
So far, the month of October hasn’t contained what I like to call “lots of journal entries”, but I hope to make up for this during the remaining days. For now, here is a quick recap of my week: Monday: Lab workTuesday: Lab workWednesday: Lab work and had this really bizarre dream where I was [...]
I hate the Yankees Reloaded
October 22, 2003
I’m trying my hardest to be interested in the World Series this year, but it’s just not happening. I am by no means a “Marlins fan”, and even my hatred for the Yankees coupled with my intense desire to see them fail isn’t enough to generate an interest in watching even a single pitch. The [...]
A few thoughts on Starbucks
October 20, 2003
I was on my way home this afternoon when I spotted a Starbucks and just had to stop for my bi-daily Grande White Chocolate Mocha. I mean, you know, because it’s not like there is a Starbucks at every corner. One needs to take advantage of such opportunities when living in this fast-paced, cut-throat world. [...]
I hate the Yankees
October 17, 2003
While I am aware that the so-called “Series of the World” is still yet to be played, I consider the Major League Baseball season to be finished. The Yankees will face the Marlins and one of these teams will win a big trophy. The winning team will say super intelligent things like “we just went [...]
The Matrix Reloaded DVD
October 16, 2003
Finally! The Matrix Reloaded was released on DVD this Tuesday for all the world to enjoy in the comfort of their own home (or in the “discomfort” of their own home, in our case, as our couch has yet to arrive). Immediately after lab, Joy and I drove to the nearest Best Buy–which is across [...]
Why
October 15, 2003
Well, it looks like my Verizon DSL woes will continue to be an incredible burden. For some reason, I make monthly payments to Verizon yet I am not allowed to access the internet. There must be something in our contract to explain situations like this. I can’t help but feel that I’m getting shortchanged here… [...]
I Never Would Have Guessed…
October 12, 2003
My good friend and fellow Matrix groupie, Libby O. brought the following article in the Journal of Neuroscience to my attention. I’ve posted the title, obviously, as well as the abstract and the key part of the materials and methods section. You can also download the .pdf version of the article on my website by [...]
