cauda equina

HAHA! damn, and here i thought people didn't read through my posts since they were, or used to be, so long and daunting. perhaps i'll start that up again, although i don't know how i'm going to deal with those who read NYT, the new yorker, or the economist. and yes, i was expecting to see middle-aged tourists with fanny packs. hugh grant in about a boy?! i liked the movie, but something was off about his character.

I talk more with the RA on the first floor of the building (i live on 6th) than my roommates. she's a journalism major transferred from UCI who wants to work with web news for BBC in or about the middle eat, i wasn't sure which. she also said that UCI was too suburban- the only place of note is a 24 hour convenience store or diner. i was half-paying attention to her, if you can't tell. i sat by myself to read the SF weekly about the summer blockbusters that i should watch (ratatouille, for instance), but she interrupted my meal.

my canadian teacher- he seems to know a lot about neuro. and i overheard this girl in class saying his quizzes were based mainly off his lecture notes. but i won't cheat myself this time around. or at least i hope i don't.

that would be interesting to put on my resume: fluent in swedish. i don't know why that sounds appealing.

schloss velden- i need to travel to austria and stay at that resort. once i find time in my schedule.

safari 3.0 beta: nothing impressive about it at all. firefox is still faster.

i was so turned on (mentally; i don't get hard-on's) by some subject in neuro today. i think it was a dissection of the neural crest when we were going through neuroanatomy and development. --i just remembered, it was epidural and subdural hematomas.-- i started some unnecessary fantasizing about things and people. then i flashed back to a previous lecture about how a large portion of the brain is devoted to facial expressions and the lips, and from that, i started daydreaming about making out. UGH.

limited edition banana-creme twinkies? caffeinated doughnuts? burger king adding spam to their menus as well? pepsi ice-cucumber flavor in japan?!

i'm going to make that 2-mile trek to Safeway today.
