Nail on the head right there. I had a great social life as an undergrad. Now I just sit around and do nothing in particular as a grad student. Luckily my morals are a little lax and I've gone out with a ton of undergrads but all of the graduate students are married or hideous. Not to mention that most of the guys I know are also married and/or social deficient so I'm left to just my work. My work isn't thrilling me very much anymore so I NEED to get out of here.

No. Just student loans. I was looking up apartments and they were in the $1200-$2000 range. Maybe I could find something more economical if I looked harder.

I am going to give Houston and Atlanta harder looks... and perhaps Oregon as well.

I'm going to miss Noah's Owen Wilson-esque interviews. Honestly, I felt like Hansel was talking in some of his clips. "I'm not going to get worked up. I'm here to fight and if it doesn't work... I don't know." "I spent the past few years trying to get to the UFC. Now that I'm here I have to go home. I don't even know where I belong anymore." "He hates me. I don't hate anyone. Sure, I don't like a few guys but hate's an awfully strong word." ... and then he pursed his lips. Hansel or Roy O'Bannon but definitely Owen Wilson.

Fuck yeah. No one touches Jack Bauer.

Thanks for the heads up on ufcjunkie. I just killed about 25 minutes there. Great site. I am a big fan of smart well written blogs.

I like the song "If Only" by Hanson. Meh?

Thats one of the dumbest thing ive ever read on here. Oh really? Chick: So what's that on your arm? Luke-o: It's the horror character Jason cutting out of my flesh! Isn't it rad? Scenario A: She gets turned on and asks you to buy her a drink or Scenario B: She rolls her eyes and walks away I'm thinking that B wins 95% of the time or higher. Do you realize how many people don't even know who the hell that is?

Why. The hockey stuff. I feel like the sig/avatar combo you are using now is really similar to a few that the max has used... I don't know.

Not exactly looking good, is it? Hell... I'll see it regardless. Main reason? I've heard all along that 4 were planned from the start so I'm not expecting a 100% garbage film, but wow does the trailer look bad. What does everyone else think?

I can't even fathom how someone with a tattoo like that doesn't die a virgin. Seriously. What the fuck.

That's definitely Brooke. It's more obvious from the other pictures that are in the set. It's on the superficial.com. Here's a nice one of Britney from PerezHilton:

Whenever I see Leena post anymore I think it's the max at first.

CDs I'm looking forward to in the next few weeks and months aka "A post for everyone to make fun of": Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare Maroon 5 - It Won't Be Soon Before Long The Bravery - The Sun and the Moon Hot Hot Heat - Happiness Ltd. The National - Boxer Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger Interpol - TBA (June 5th release according to Metacritic - incorrect?) I also see that the Smashing Pumpkins have a new release scheduled for July 7th. I'll approach that with caution.

I recently watched my darling Katharine's audition tape. Yeah... she lost a lot of weight between now and then. Dare I say she was borderline chubby then? I still would marry her instantly but you know...

Have to wait until tomorrow night to catch this as my DVR didn't record it but I really enjoyed the Dana/Tito special. I was bummed out by the end (because I hadn't heard about it in awhile - wasn't sure if it had happened or not).... but I didn't know a lot of the backstory. It was a good way to kill an hour or so.

I've been playing around with the salary thinga-ma-jigger (techincal term) on MonsterTrak and I compared San Diego to Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. It's 20.4% cheaper to live in the triangle but the average pay is only 6.4% less. As much as I love San Diego, and it's my fave city in the US, it might not be economically feasible to live there. Leena, the $26k I get now is just my student stipend and pretty much amounts to dicking around money. When I make this consideration I am factoring in acquiring responsibilities, buying a house, starting a family, etc. I am closer to 30 than 20 now. While I would have a lot more money in San Diego I'm not sure it's enough to start my life, you know? For what it's worth the cities/areas on my radar now are San Diego, Washington DC (NIH is there), Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, South Florida, Seattle, and maybe Texas. Madison is no good - too cold there. I want to avoid that. I've been in the Northeast for 23 and 1/2 years out of my 25 year life. I need to get out of the cold.

I never realized that Juliette was the "other girl" in Gia. Here she is in the shower w/ Angelina Jolie. Link

Brooke Hogan.

2 HRs for Barry today.

I knew we were in trouble when we signed Mark Redman. I mean, 2006 ALL-STAR MARK REDMAN. 5-0 before we ever got to bat, with Willis on the mound and that nasty bullpen (besides Julio Lugo) ugg. BUT HE'S A LEFTY HE HAS VALUE! Jorge Julio isn't the closer anymore. He's been demoted to 6th-7th inning work. Taylor Tankersley came off the DL today. Finally. He's money.

They automatically changed my Hanley picture to this years version! He doesn't look 12 in this one. Damn it. Reasons it doesn't: The new ombudsman actually has some balls and is already saying some critical things about the network on their webpage - unlike the previous one.

Well, I've decided to cut my PhD short by three years, get a masters and get the hell out of Ithaca. It's for my own sanity. Where should I move to? A few qualifications: 1) Warmth preferred but not required 2) Strong BioTech industry required That's about it. I was looking at jobs in San Diego earlier today and found entry level jobs starting around $70k. Is that even enough to live in San Diego? Sounds silly to say considering I'm barely making $26k now but I just remember how expensive everything was the last time I was there. This isn't until December and I'm not about to take the word of the Smartmarks.com as my final choice but maybe this will give me some other options that I hadn't previously considered.

why the fuck do i post here
