I have to write a 25-page paper for my genetics law class in lieu of a final. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I want to write about. That’s not true. I have a few broad ideas, but that’s not important. I’m meeting with my professor Monday to figure out what might fit with my background … Continue reading »

Dating Sharks?
Sometimes I wonder about Comcast description writers. Moreover, I wonder about the people that create these shows. Seriously. What the Hell? Continue reading »
Where the Boys Are
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of advertisements for eHarmony, interviews with relationship experts, and Rachel from Big Brother screaching about “her man”. I can only imagine it is because summer is waning and people are panicking about having a snuggle buddy for the cold winter months. Everyone knows that you can’t tell if you like … Continue reading »
Boozin’ USA
Summer is quickly drawing to a close, but August still has some serious activity packed into its short, hot, little life. This weekend I will be drinking alcohol on a boat with my friends in celebration of my good friend’s husband’s birthday… during the Air & Water Show. What is more American than that? In theory, … Continue reading »
Some ‘er Lovin’
My marathon training has been pretty derailed the last week+. I was running on old shoes (bad!) that led to shin splints (bad-der!). I took a week or so off to heal those up, in addition to getting a new pair of shoes – Karhus. Unfortunately, after a couple of runs on the Karhus, I realized … Continue reading »

Essentially, researchers found that superstition was a manifestation of hope. “the present findings suggest that it may have been the well-balanced combination of existing talent, hard training and good luck-underwear that made Michael Jordan perform as well as he did.” … Continue reading »
Musicology
The name of this post is taken from the Prince album of the same name. I downloaded it when it first came out from some source that was… not iTunes. Unbeknownst to me, the download was one continuous mp3 of the entire album. How annoying. And yes, I learned my lesson. I no longer download … Continue reading »
Runaway Bride
Went to a wedding this past weekend for my bro’s best friend with my fam. Bro was the best man and he gave a surprisingly sweet speech about being glad that they all had the opportunity to grow up together and will continue to do so. That’s not the biggest story to come out of this wedding, however. … Continue reading »
Rock You Like A’Mericane
As you know, this past weekend was a celebration of freedom and hot dogs and drinking in public. As a true patriot, I put my heart into it. FRIDAY: New Guy’s best friend from high school was in town from NYC so we thought it appropriate to bring him to the raunchiest Big10 bar we … Continue reading »
Ergonomic Environmentalist
So I have this theory that I’ve been chewing on for a while that was recently “slightly” validated by Newsweek. The “Ergonomic Environmentalist.” “What is an ErgEn?” you might ask. Let’s pull these two terms apart for now. Ergonomic. It refers to designing something that is more in line with your normal, natural movements/physiology. The … Continue reading »
