It’s that time of year again when people are being recognized for their accomplishments. First and foremost, I’d like to recognize me. Thank you. Last Thursday, Joy was honored along with her fellow Teach for America colleagues for the completion of the teacher certification program. After a rigorous summer program, Joy and her fellow teachers [...]

Friday was a special day in the life of your friend and mine, Brian/Josh. You see, the past Friday was the last Friday that Brian will ever spend in Los Angeles as a single man. I would go as far as saying that this past Friday was the most important night of Brian’s life. As [...]

Today, Joy and I signed the lease for our new apartment, and Saturday is our official move-in date. This will mark the first time in two years that I haven’t lived in a house with someone who was alive during The Great Depression. Many of you knew my housemates: Marge, the homeowner, and Heinz, the [...]

This Friday is a really big day for me. I have a midterm in neural systems, Marty Rehab is in town, and X-Men 2 opens nationwide. Then on Saturday, Pejman and I are competing in the Intramural Doubles Tournament. So, it is essential that I get everything off to a good start by performing well [...]

I have been studying quite a bit lately for my upcoming neural systems exam, so you may have noticed my journal entries becoming less frequent. Or perhaps you didn’t notice… Anyway, the exam is focusing on three topics: motor systems, audition, and “olfaction”. I include the quotes around olfaction because, as it turns out, we [...]

Check out this message I posted on some newsgroup six years ago. I came across it the other day as I was surfing the internet (Ok, I admit it…I searched for my own name on google.com). Still, this is undeniable evidence that even at an early age I functioned at a highly intellectual level. Look [...]

Tennis, silly games, and more MG

I just got back from the tennis match to end all tennis matches–not even sure what that means–and I’m already starting to feel soreness throughout my body. Tonight it was a story of ups and downs, with Pejman and I staging a series of individual comebacks and then turning around and blowing the very next [...]

Today’s journal club pretty much cleaned me out of any creative energy I might have had, so there won’t be much from me tonight. Sandeep and Jen did the best anyone could possibly do given such a lifeless paper, but I still haven’t been that confused since…well, perhaps last week’s journal club. The only thing [...]

- Brian and I got together tonight to “start preparing” for the presentation we’re set to give next week in journal club. Everything started off very well: we had the papers out, we were getting ready to discuss strategies and organization, and I could definitely feel the creative energy flowing. Then, suddenly, we both realized [...]

We are only two weeks into the quarter, so on some level, I feel slightly embarrassed to admit that I’m already two weeks behind in class. On the other hand, two weeks is nothing when you have TEAM BRIAN to pump out review notes like it’s going out of fashion. Speaking of notes, Seth, get [...]
