No food

I am not quite sure why when Pesach arrives there is no food left in the house. However, there seems to be this philosophy of "downsizing" so when it gets closer and instead of buying more food you just put it off until after Pesach. So now the situation is that I have three beers in the fridge and well, maybe a pint of milk left, and some tea (as you can see, nothing really substantial). I think I need to go out tonight...and have a beer when I come home? Hmm...

I went to this thesis defense seminar today. The guy that defended was from China. In 2002 he had gone home for a visit and got stuck in China for a year! Well, the happy ending was that he came back and finished his thesis. It is very hard for me to imagine getting to that point.

It's too bad I am not from the US so I could visit my country and get stuck there. Of course I will have to be from a country with a beatuiful beach and I would just relax there for a while until I could come back. Why did I have to be from a borning place like Baltimore?? I am not sure I would want to get stuck there...

Happy April 20th. (Is 4/20 such an exciting day anyway...) Drugs destroy brain cells. Case in point: I had to point out to a friend of mine what day it was and he didn't remember until I reminded him. Why do I even know this stuff? My head is filled with useless information.

Oh well...

1+1=?

When Dr. Sibley told me that I don't think in a logical and staightforward manner I knew that although this could sound like an insult it wasn't. He just didn't get how I arrived at the right answer when I went in some roundabout way to get there. How did I get into science when I don't think in this logical and straightforward way??? Why do I like this stuff when the typical scientific mind thinks in a step by step way? Was I suppose to do something else and I am missing my calling? I hope not. I like this stuff....

Also, I figured out how to add links. Note the interesting group I have posted.
