Listening to Cosmo radio today, (yes, I'm just as bad as any other man in the grocery store, sneaking peaks through our female significant others' Cosmopolitan to find out what she's going to read about what makes us "really tick"), Diana Falzone was on with her show, Cosmolicious. She brought up a study that has been making it's round on the blogs, twitter, and media - a study from the UK that purports that the date-rape drug is just an urban myth. Her fury at these scientists was almost tangible to me, by myself in the car. She was up in arms about how these scientists from the United Kingdom would dare to say that the date-rape drug is just a myth.

Nordstrom Rack and ... Planning Things
Its strange, that saying: "it never works out the way you want it to." Most of the time it does, but one only always ends up remembering when it didn't.
First dates never go like you plan them to. Even if you're just winging it. Sometimes the "winging" goes wrong.
Today is the opening of Nordstrom Rack at Oakridge. Being a curious consumer, I naturally wanted to be there for its grand opening. Can't be THAT many people interested, right? They're not giving anything away or being featured in the paper like Bloomingdale's up in SF's Union Square was when they opened. (Well they are giving away a shopping spree, but nothing tangible to the first X amount of customers or anything)
But as it turns out my doctor's appointment is at 11:30 am. While the store does open at 10, I had originally hoped that todays lab would be short and allow me to leave early to be there for the opening. Doesn't look like so, and with lab taking up the full time today until 10:20, I'm then going to have to race through traffic to get my doctors appointment on time, rather than NR. How about that. My stupid ear infection is making me miss the opening of NR.
Why not just go after? While it certainly is plausible to go after, all the excitement would be gone. Its all about being one of the first!
Well, maybe NR will be in the news tomorrow. Time to pack up and head to school/class.

Happy birthday to me!
I always wondered if saying something like that made you seem pathetic or sad or snooty to the outside world. I guess now I'll know.
Today is my birthday. I am now 24 years old (note to self to change that in my profile here). Today's agenda: take my micro 101 lab exam (probably do okay), attend 100w (with or without my outline), attend to my students (life doesn't stop for midterm season), and then dinner with my love to celebrate me have lived another year.
How have things changed for me now that I'm 24? Well I'm deinitely feeling the pull to gtfo of college and finish this off. People my age are graduating from graduate school for crying out loud. Of course, once I graduate this fall, I'll still probably have to come back to school to take a random assortment of courses to prepare for the credential program. But still, the one major milestone, getting a 4 year degree, still is not within my grasp.
I wonder sometimes if I'm a lost cause, just going at something because its the right thing to do at this point. Shouldn't I be passionate about what I do? I enjoy teaching, but am I passionate about it? I'm not sure. But then again, am I passionate about anything, really? Its moments like these that tell me I'm destined to be just another lay person, which may or may not be a good thing. I think I'm going to end up like that guy that you see cleaning the Dallas Cowboys stadium at the end of a game. Its not a job he's passionate about, but it gets him by, and he can provide for his family, etc.
Which brings us to the question, is being passionate about your job a necessity? Can't you just ho-hum about your job, and be passionate about your family? I don't mean to say that your job is boring or anything, its still gotta be a job you don't mind working, but maybe not exactly your passion.
High school teaching, for me, could become a passion. Or it could go completely 180 and make me despise switching out of pharmacy.
We'll have to wait and see. Right now I need to go study for this test. Haha.
Will report back at the end of the day, when I start studying for my next test.

Fine tuning my ears.
All that complaining I did about my skull candy paint earbuds and how they required you to plug them deep into your ear, sealing it completely to outside noise, and allowing you full enjoyment of the whatever it is you were listening to?
Now I can't go back. My regular sony bass earbuds don't give me enough of that rich sound anymore. The headphones do, but they're these giant kinda fugly cups with a super long audio cord that, for someone who's got their iPod in their pocket on their person, is a huge hassle.
I guess its headphones or those earbuds for me from now on.

Not enough space on the G2 iPod Nanos.
Option 1: go buy a new nano. Comes in a variety of flavors, and you get all the new features, plus video.
Option 2: Pay my girlfriend a visit, and get my 160 GB G3/G4 iPod classic.
Secret option 3: Spend some time reorganizing the data on my current iPod nano while I wait to go to dinner with my girlfriend tomorrow, and grab the iPod classic then.
The one that makes the most logic, esp with my lack of time in my schedule today, is option 3.
Good to know I'm doing the right thing, even if it means I can't listen to Buzz Out Loud and the various 1Up podcasts. And all the new music I got.
I hate doing the right thing.

Skipped a stop, arriving early.
Which is a good thing, because I could use the down time to wake up.
I was up at 6 today, but a combination of subscribing to NFL.com's news rss feed and finishing up my assignment meant I wasn't out the door until 6:50, leaving me only ten minutes to get to the Oakridge platform (this means parked and locked the car). Luckily, I hit all greens and was able to park with about 30 seconds to boot. Socks, shoes (lab today), and the next thing I knew the train was starting to pull in. I had just enough time to grab the nano, headphones, and my backpack. Thank god my remote lock still works.

Fail at life. Audiowise.
What kind of person can't put on headphones correctly? How hard is it to place the earbuds in the right ears, and correctly as well, as to allow for maximum enjoyment of the music/podcast/book/whatever one is listening to?
Me. I'm that kind of person.
I should've read the manual. Goddamnit
P.S. At least they are "noise cancelling." (Read: they plug your ears so much all you hear is the audio from them)

Week 2, day 1
Another day in the books.
Micro 101 lecture was cancelled this morning. Notice was given about 10 minutes into class. After the first five minutes with no teacher, we started asking each other if today was supposed to be one of her furlough days. It wasn't. She just wasn't here. Ended up hanging out with my lab buddy (read: not partner) Jerry, getting lab notebooks and manuals and the like. Finished about 10 minutes before lecture was supposed to end anyway, then headed to work.
After work, I headed to the Sprint store on Lawrence and Stevens Creek. They fixed my phone's metal ring which holds down the trackball for free. That was nice of them, I thought, considering that the place on Tully Rd. (recommended by Sprint's 611 customer service rep) said they'd charge me $35 dollars for it. Crystal, the rep from the Stevens Creek store, was so nice and attentive to me as a customer, I felt bad that she was doing it for free (in hindsight, maybe I wasn't special and they do this for free for everyone).
Following that, I headed back to my car at the light rail station where I took a quick power nap. Then back to class - note to self to email my various profs tonight - and now on the train going home.

King buffet. Never again.
So I'm not sure if it was the tapoica pudding, the frozen yogurt, or a myriad of other things I tried. But I feel sick to my bones. I feel super hot even though I shouldn't, and good lord my stomach feels like I just ate a whole cheesecake (I'm lactose intolerant).
Note to self: I'm never going back. I don't care who's inviting me to eat there.

Being organized.
Looks like I have a good chance at getting into mammalian physiology. All I need to do is show my signed major / minor form to the professor. Now where'd I put that form ...
Had to help out freshman all day while I was on campus. Some of them were scared of walking in late, others were confused about how to add a course - like the process of day 1 in any college course - and most of them were just plain lost. I had my headphoes on most of the time too, and I am perplexed as to how that isn't a deterrent or nonverbal signal that I probably don't want to be disturbed. Kids these days, I swear.
On the light rail its completely different. Everyone and their kid has headphones on, or some sort of aloof, out the window, music video look.
Oops, train's coming.

There was a train at the Oakridge station at 7:00 am just as I pulled in, which I naturally missed. The next train was at 7:15, we'll see how long this takes to get to SJSU, with all the stops on the way.

Posted by bigkneem at 10:51 PM 0 comments
New car, oh my!
With plenty of time to kill, we worked our way through buying Mi her first brand new car! It was great to experience it on my own, but I think it was mostly thanks to her "I'll take it!" attitude. The car itself is a beaut, and has all of the amenities and conviniences that I'm used to. I wonder if she'll get to using her satellite radio again. It'll be a challeng to find a way to mount it, since the power plug now rests inside the center console area between the two chairs.
Blizzcon showed the release of the new WoW expansion, Catacylsm. I probably won't be going back though, considering that the guild I used to be in has mostly disbanded. Becca's gone, Tim's gone, Stephen and Sasha, Greg and Chris, Drew, Blake, and Rusty, and our GM, Rick. If I were to return, I'd only have a few friends left in the guild and we'd be back to small, tight-knit groups. No no, not again.
Congrats on your new car baby!

Today's Horoscope
There are very high chances that you will overindulge in eating and drinking this weekend. You will be exposed to a variety of good food and drinks that you will find very hard to resist. Just be careful so that things do not get out of hand. Today also presents the perfect opportunity to catch up not only with your family members but also with your friends and your neighbors. In general, your weekend will be relaxed and you will even have enough time to put in a few good hours of sleep. Adequate rest is essential for the tough week you are likely to face ahead.

About to land.
In case your concerned, this isn't live blogged. At the writing of this, I am still on the plane but the phone radios are off and this won't be published until I'm probably in a car.
In any case, the goal this weekend and vacation will be to have fun. To smile more. To, I don't know, do the socially acceptable thing. I can't pre-suppose that I'm going to get to live away from everyone for the rest of my life, especially if my "full life" includes getting married and having kids. Eventually.
I managed to finish what was left of Las Vegas season 1, and zomg am I hooked. I daresay that show so far is good enough to purchase on dvd/blu-ray/hd-dvd if they ever came out in hi-def. Based on the boxart, it looks like something happened at the end of season 4 though, Big Ed Deline isn't on the cover. I'm guessing James Caan (who plays Big Ed) couldn't work out a deal. Well, onto season 2! What a killer ending to season 1 though! Danny's going back to the war! He and Mary are steaming things up! And they totally set things up so that Danny could be easily explained as killed off, with him acting nervous/scared, putting his will together and everything.
I'm glad he ended up with Mary - so far. Nessa might be content by herself, and Delinda could be with a newcomer or something. Kinda sad about Sam tho.
Landing, time to stop blogging.

Break from the school thing.
Took a break from finishing up one last project, before the wave of studying, to watch Esmee Denters live broadcast from the O2 arena in London. She was opening/supporting Enrique Iglesias, and it was in the style of a webshow with an open chat room. I decided to leave as nothing too exciting was going on, but it was interesting in the least. Kinda makes me wish more celebrities did this kinda stuff, although I got to see a lot of that warcraft-trade-chat going on ... someone's response to her question of "what's everyone doing today" was "i shot a puppy / in the face." Seriously? How's that even remotely funny? She seemed to ignore / absorb most of the left-field or typical fan comments ("you're so beautiful/when are you coming to X country")

Ducks lose 3-2 in OT at HP Pavilion. And I'm stuffed.
And I had way too much to eat during the game. Had a small viewing party, and today's lunch at On The Border in Milpitas @ McCarthy Ranch was still sitting around inside I think. I definitely overloaded on carbs today, not good. Gonna bike tomorrow to Safeway to buy the paper, assuming I can drag myself out of bed early enough. 630, 645 ish? We'll see.
The Ducks comeback in the 3rd period was awesome, but in the end Patrick Marleau came through for his team. Sort of a good thing, I kind of want to see Anaheim's home crowd if we put this away on Monday. Hopefully I don't miss too much of the game as I rush home from class.
Well, guess that's it for today. More bug catching tomorrow and Monday, and I need 2-3 more bird entries.

Wong Fu Productions
I've spent the latter part of the last 3 hours browsing stuff by Wong Fu Productions. They're an Asian American movie making company, well, more like 3 Asian American guys who are just making short films. The shorts themselves are pretty rad. They each have a Twitter, WFP has a blog, and they keep a pretty regular video blog up, too.
It's sooo distracting. YouTube.
Edit: This is post number 15! Four more to tie, five to set a new posts-per-month record!

I'm Gettint Too Old For This $h!t
.:sigh:.
I'm getting too old. I can't even finish a full entree anymore. And it's not even like something at a restaurant, we're talking like a plate at Sarku Japan in the mall. I feel like one of the pregnant models in the signs for Motherhood Maternity.

Live blogging
The new supercuts ad marketed towards men involves a subliminal message about supporting strip clubs?!

Casual Vs. Hardcore. What is a real fanboy/fangirl?
To talk plainly, what is it with being a real fan? Of anything, for that matter. It is the join a secret society that thinks, breathes, and fawns over the very obsession upon which they call themselves "fans" of.

Rediscovering The Turn Of The Millinium
Around then what we now call teeny-bopper pop was totally in, although I suppose the fact that it fit my age range helped a bit. Like how kids these days listen to Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers whilst we listen to Boa, Bow Wow, and Flo Rida.

[Late Night] Already ...
Time seemed to fly by so slow today. Maybe that's the thing about being at school. Time crawls. For me, that was good thing, working on my bug collection and catching some ZzZz's where I could. But the moment I got home at 10:30ish, time seems to have flown. I've had dinner, and been browsing Facebook for what seems like 5 minutes. It's now 1 AM.

Question of the Day Revisited
So, once upon a time, I asked people, "what can I do to be more well-rounded?" Of course, there was a 10 minute long background story, but basically it led to this question. And rather than retype said story, I'll just cut straight to the chase.

[Late Night] Tired, But Can't Sleep. This Can't Be Good.
2:50 am - Just fired up an old external HD to find if there was anything on there. Turns out there is. A DVD rip of Jessica Simpson's Reality Tour. Let's watch, shall we?

Writer's block. Sucks.
Can't figure out how to fill in the last half page for my assignment. So I'm writing elsewhere in hopes that my writer's block will be freed.

O_O Sandra Lee loves bacon.
^^
She went from 118 to 155 b/c of bacon, BLTs, and Mountain Dew. She once ate an entire package of bacon in one sitting.

Sandra Lee - Made From Scratch (A Memoir)
I'm only anout a 1/4 of the way through but its already a lovely book. I've cried like twice already, and it seems silly because this is just the story of someone else's life. She's had such a rough upbringing.
And in the book, she's still only 18 and moved in with her birth father and his girlfriend to Wisconsin.

So tired
I don't know exactly what's going on, but as each day goes by, I'm becoming more and more co-dependent with my girlfriend. If she has a headache, so will I. If I had something that leads to an upset stomach, she'll have an upset stomach too. Its so weird.
Well this spring break has been relaxing, sort of. Its already wednesday and I don't really feel relaxed, like last spring break. Ah well, maybe things will turn out for the better the next couple of days. Three midterms this coming week. One on monday, and two lab exams on thursday. Tuesday is caesar chavez day so free day :) I might go out tho. Go catch up on movies or something.
