Today you have the privilege of meeting one of my favorite dumb dogs in recent memory, Chatters the greyhound. Chatters currently lives in New York with Kathy’s mom, though it is my understanding that she is quite the traveler. In fact, when I first met Chatters, I was standing in Brian/Josh’s dad’s kitchen in Pittsburgh [...]

Dumb Dog of the Day Reloaded
March 29, 2004
And now for another edition of my world famous fun for the whole family pictorial series: Dumb Dog of the Day (DDD). Note that the first edition of DDD was actually yesterday; however, my creative juices were not flowing at their normal rate (88 MPH) and hence you are seeing the title “reloaded” and for [...]
The 2004 Tournament of Friends Begins!
March 28, 2004
With the NCAA Basketball Tournament in full swing, Roger Mears has put together his own bracket full of hilarious and memorable quotes, phrases, nicknames, events and more from our youth in Arizona. Click here to read his original journal entry for some background information. The goal of this so-called “tournament of friends” is to collectively [...]
Donnie Darko, Billy Corgan, and their dumb dog
March 28, 2004
I was on my way to the lab this morning when I came to a stop at the famed Westwood and Wilshire stoplight. You might remember this stoplight from any number of 20 minute periods you’ve waited for the light to turn green. On any other day, the wait would have driven me absolutely crazy, [...]
Get ready for more Diamondback-binkees baseball!
March 27, 2004
Sticking to the trend of producing little to no new material on my journal, I bring to you another totally satisfying take on the world sports courtesy of The Pejman. You might remember Pejman from 1994′s international hit, “The Pejman Song”, that one time Pejman was a clown and Peyman was a pirate for Halloween, [...]
Bud Smoka’s Only, Bud Smoka’s Only! Onlyyyyyyyyyyy!
March 26, 2004
Today’s random fun comes from the after-hours party following the premiere of the new documentary, The Mayor of Sunset Strip. As the story goes, Linslee spotted Matt LeBlanc, and acting on a whim, Linslee interrupted a conversation in hopes of scoring a little one-on-one celebrity banter. By her own admission, Linslee can’t explain why she [...]
Random: Chapter 2
March 25, 2004
Today I finally display an image that I’ve been wanting to show everyone for quite some time. In January, Ashwini and I were studying at Jerry’s Deli in Westwood (you might remember Jerry’s Deli from their terribly expensive and disgusting food, the collection of greaseballs that occupy the booths throughout the day, or from that [...]
Random: Chapter 1
March 23, 2004
I’ve been working hard on my grant and doing tons of lab work, so I’ve decided to release some of my built up angst by writing a journal entry. In fact, I’ve decided to do one brief journal entry every day… for therapeutic purposes, of course. You will find that these entries are less concerned [...]
Hiatus
March 21, 2004
The journal has served as one of the few creative outlets in a life saturated by meticulous lab work and scientific jargon, and so it is with great displeasure that I announce a temporary hiatus in my journal writing. The next two weeks are going to be consumed by generating preliminary data and grant writing. [...]
Be Aware!
March 16, 2004
This morning, Seth, Deborah, and I joined Libby–in all of her Brain Awareness Week coordinating glory–to help educate a local group of 5th graders about the brain and nervous system. We didn’t have any real “live” brains to show the students, so we made use of a variety of brain models to cover the basics [...]
