Sick

December 30, 2003

I woke up yesterday with that achy, anxious feeling one gets right before the flu strikes and tried my best to sleep it off during the afternoon. Things got progressively worse until the peak of my physical exhaustion last night, when my attempts to thwart the sickness relegated me to the fetal position as I [...]

Four Days After Christmas

December 29, 2003

0 Comments

One of my Christmas gifts was Balderdash, the self-proclaimed “Hilarious Bluffing Game” that you might remember from dozens of nights with Jasonand Brandon during our youth. While some of our classic definitions will be posted in the future, this journal entry will only detail the humorous contributions from our most recent Balderdash game. You see, [...]

Christmas

Christmas Day followed a similar pattern as previous Christmas’: wake up, open presents, listen to Nat King Cole while reflecting on how fortunate we are to receive such thoughtful gifts, fall asleep on living room floor, wake up to the sound of Marty watering the backyard patio in only his shorts and Reeboks, Marty yells [...]

Christmas Eve

Well, my 23rd Christmas is in the can, and yet it’s still unclear exactly when or why Pejman began slowly transitioning the holiday’s official name from “Christmas” to “Chrimmas” to “Krimmas” to “Krimmus” to “Grimmus” to “Grimmucide”. Perhaps it’s better we don’t know. I suppose as long as we remember the true meaning of Christmas [...]

Stinky Med Students

December 23, 2003

Many of you have expressed your concern to me about my reference to UCLA Med students as “stinky”. As a preface, I should apologize for not informing everyone of the punch lines to the many inside jokes that appear on this journal. Unfortunately, the fact that these jokes are not understood by everyone is exactly [...]

Cardinals!

Given how painful it has been to be a Cardinals fan this season (see 3-11 record), it’s hard to believe that I’m still here in Week 16 watching the Cardinals play Seattle. So far, this game has pretty much followed suit. The Cardinals just gave up a touchdown on Seattle’s opening drive; they answered with [...]

Plaid Tidings To All

December 21, 2003

0 Comments

Saturday was a day full of pure entertainment. Earlier in the week, Jen C. came across an advertisement for the play Plaid Tidings, the sequel to the smash hit Forever Plaid. We originally saw this comedy/musical about a barbershop quartet that comes back from the dead for one last performance during our freshman year in [...]

Final Exams

December 18, 2003

I thought I’d start this evening by saluting my sister, Devon, as she finishes taking final exams in her first semester of college. I know you may be overwhelmed now, but after a few semesters, you’ll figure out the best way to study for finals and eventually they become less of a challenge and more [...]

I’m Tired…hence this totally incoherent and ultimately uninteresting journal entry.

Wow, I’m exhausted. Joy and I just returned from watching The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Special Edition with Brian/Josh and Kathy. Just sitting there and watching that movie is a draining experience, but that was on top of 10 hours in the lab. In fact, I would claim that this was one [...]

Getting ready for the holidays!

December 14, 2003

I bring to you this journal entry after quite an eventful week in my life. I had initially intended to deliver a super interesting entry on Wednesday detailing several important purchases made by Joy and myself, but then I got stuck at work toward the end of the week. Not exactly my idea of a [...]
