* The Bane of My Existence of the Day: see picture * Reminder of the Day: You can have a conversation. You can be conversant. And you most certainly can converse. However, by no means can you ever conversate. * Movie Quote of the Day: “We’re going streaking!”

Bunzo is Done-zo (terrible)
May 28, 2004
Brandon and Corey have both graduated from the University of Arizona. I flew into Phoenix Friday night, took part in a classic In N’ Out scarf-fest with Marty, and then left for Tucson early Saturday morning with Marygrace to join the graduation festivities. After the ceremony, we had the usual picture session with family and [...]
The Icicle.
May 27, 2004
Some of you may wonder what exactly we do in the Carmichael lab… well, aside from the usual neural repair and stem cell research, we also have time to fool around in the -20 degree walk-in freezer. Just last week, Ivonne noticed that a leaky pipe had led to the formation of a giant 5 [...]
It has to be done.
May 26, 2004
The Day After Tomorrow opens the day after tomorrow. I’m sorry, but I simply had to do that. Also, note the new icon featuring Seth and I on the eve of this year’s second Neuroscience recruitment weekend. Man, there is nothing like a good Bulletproof Monk pose to liven my afternoon! * Brian/Josh Quote of [...]
YMCA Card
May 24, 2004
I figured that since I posted my current gym membership card in the previous journal entry, I might as well post my first card, which dates back to 1997 at the Tempe YMCA. You are all probably wondering the same thing: John has only been working out since 1997 and his muscles are THAT huge?! [...]
Action Jackson!
May 23, 2004
I guess the requirements for obtaining a Ph.D. in Neuroscience have decreased considerably in the two years since we joined the program as evidenced by this letter sent to Brian/Josh from UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Institute… In other Jackson-related news, it appears there has been a little misunderstanding around town these days. The latest according to Bally [...]
Append THIS!
May 21, 2004
Sometimes things in life just don’t make sense: careers, relationships, grades, injuries and death. But there are always a few things that are sure to add up: Roger + bushes = “I don’t know whyyyyy!”Jak + Lucky Charms = one inch of air = “hops”Jen + shoes = overdraft protectionGreg + fantasy football = offensive [...]
It is Finished
May 18, 2004
Everything that has a beginning has an end… The Matrix Trilogy, Friends, puberty, the 80′s, Mr. Lambrose’s Lunch-time Sports, the fabulous run of the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” commercials. And, now, my brave disciples, we must all mourn the end of the greatest college cartoon column in the history of the world: [...]
The Pejfro
May 14, 2004
Today, for the 24th time, we celebrate Pejman’s birthday (yes, I understand that “we” didn’t collectively know Pejman until like 8th grade, thus prohibiting us from celebrating the previous birthdays)!. There are many things to say about Pejman. Nice, funny, smart, yadda yadda yadda. What we are really talking about is a man driven by [...]
Making conversation
May 13, 2004
I haven’t heard from my college roommate, Jemal, for quite some time now, so I was pleased when he logged onto IM yesterday. I hope the following IM conversation doesn’t in any way indicate his interest of interest in maintaining our friendship: John: hey JemalJemalZ signed off at 6:38:20 PM. And, now, for a comical [...]
