January 2009
Goodbye 2k8
This year was a draw between good and bad for me. Definitely not an awful year, but not a great one either.
Some things that I can do to make 2009 a better year:
Prepare for LSAT and prepare for law school admissions
Take more pictures
Get involved in something outside of work
Actually try to have a love life
Stop overanalyzing every little thing
Start making art again
Show the art I make...

December 2008
I love going to HR
I found out that entire biological sciences division had last Friday and this Friday declared a holiday, but our section administrator has exempted hematology and oncology from that holiday because of clinical responsibilities. Bitches, I don’t have clinical responsibilites. I am a desk monkey.
I can accept a lot of work BS, even in terms of money, but I cannot accept or handle anyone...
I surrender
Seriously, I cannot keep up with Tumblr today. Posts will be missed. I accept that now.
Pharmaceutical Companies Do The Right Thing... →

To Lehman Brothers, Linens ’n Things and the blank VHS tape, add another American institution that expired in 2008: drug company trinkets.
Starting Jan. 1, the pharmaceutical industry has agreed to a voluntary moratorium on the kind of branded goodies — Viagra pens, Zoloft soap dispensers, Lipitor mugs — that were meant to foster good will and, some would say, encourage doctors...
An Irish Blessing For The New Year

May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings
slow to make enemies, quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow
may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

your fingers raking me like...”

This portion of the song has been repeating in my head all day.
Blagojevich to name Burris to Senate →
Why the fuck are we letting him appoint anyone? Sometimes this state can suck it. I do not care how well liked and respectable the person he picked is. I hope the Senate blocks the appointment. The Illinois legislature needs to hurry up and impeach Blago, since he does not have the decency to step down.
WatchCibo Matto - Sugar Water
The video for Sugar Water has become annoying to find (as have many other music videos I’ve noticed recently), but it’s worth tracking down I think. The video is a visual palindrome directed by Michel Gondry.

That the best I’ve felt in days is the result of sitting in a Rocking chair, drinking tea, listening to recordings of the 2008 Salzburg festival, finishing 19th Norwegian Drama which pretty much tears the moral fibres of the era apart and about to start ripping apart Darwin. I’m in my early 20’s, single, shouldn’t I be out getting horrendously drunk and...

In the giant box on my desk are chocolates filled with:
Borghetti Cafe Espresso Liquor, Danzka Cranberry Vodka, Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Whiskey, Cointreau Brandy, Grand Marnier Liqueur, Drambuie, Cutty Sark Scotch Whisky, and Galliano.
Gimme all the Danzka, Cointreau, and Grand Marnier and I won’t even try to pry one of the Jack ones out of your fingers.

Oh no...
There are Jack Daniels chocolates in my office. They are chocolates filled with “original spirits”. I want to eat them all.
I wish I didn’t know that these existed, because I don’t have the willpower to resist.

Walking past dumpsters full of Xmas trees is actually kind of depressing.
Cut down a tree, throw stuff on it, buy a bunch of stuff no one really needs, throw it under the tree, then throw the tree in a landfill. Ugh.
i feel better knowing they are real trees opposed to the fake ones. fake xmas trees in landfills=100x’s worse than throwing a real tree in a...

Oh yea? Well in my office it’s completely quiet other than the vents, the fax machine, and the rustling of paper. It’s crazy! Also, um, my boss is Belgian.
