I want me one of those!

Posted on January 20, 2006 By admin 1 Comment on I want me one of those!

Your friends will wonder in which direction your life philosophy has wandered when they see this hand-carved knife block, a prototype by Irene van Gestel of De Meubelmaat, a design group in the Netherlands. This gal must certainly possess a macabre sense of humor. Perhaps this knife caddie, chiseled out of a block of solid limewood, would be an ideal accessory in Cellblock B at Sing-Sing, where those who are looking for an appropriate place to store knives might be inclined to use their bunkmates heads.

March of the penguins

Posted on January 12, 2006 By admin 12 Comments on March of the penguins

We went to see March of the Penguins last night. It was a fun, light, highly anthropomorphised movie and, though it was mildly perilous (sic), we had fun. My only thought now after seeing that movie is that, man, the noise of that colony must be impressive and furthermore, it must just *mong*!!

Of course, Katy now wants a penguin.

But hey, we all saw that one coming.

Selling fish door to door

Posted on January 12, 2006 By admin

I did something new tonight. I bought fish off the back of a running truck: tuna, salmon and halibut.

I've seen this done before, but it's the first time I have the opportunity to do so. I hope I don't live to regret it.

Has anybody ever done something similar in Cambs?

Scented candles

Posted on January 3, 2006 By admin

Katy has corrupted me with scented candles from the Pier. We now have an orange-cinnamon one burning in the living room and apple-ginger ones in my zen garden in the bedroom. The smell really, really nice.

I am adequate.

Posted on December 25, 2005 By admin 2 Comments on I am adequate.

Katy was musing out load at what my extreme make-over would include. Apparently, I need a brow lift, cosmetic dentistry, liposuction and a tailored exercise regime. When I started goofing about the breast enlargement and the brazilian butt lift, she started choking with laughter. When I mentioned the penis enlargemnt kit I got in a spam, she said the words all men yearn to hear: it's adequate. *chuckle* I think we scared my sister with that conversation :D

Very important note to self

Never, ever, EVER use J&J babywash to shave when you run out of shaving foam unless you enjoy scaring people.

Stalking boobs to the tune of the Jaws theme is fun :) It also makes getting dressed quite a workout :)

A year in review

Posted on December 13, 2005 By admin

Try this one. Go back through your archive of 2005 and pick one post topic for representative of each month. Mine are:

January – My junk isn't jacked up.
February – Me? Absent-minded? Never!
March – Life as a “Clean Sweep” episode.
Apris – You need to fill in form VAF1…
May – My furniture saga unfolds
June – It's hot and it's wet, which is good in a woman but bad in a city.
July – No, this is not Phil's Taxi Service.
August – I can't have my pussy :(
September – The joys of passport control.
October – What to do when the people around you aren't feeling well.
November – I have met the Grogan clan today.
December – Housework sucks big sweaty donkey balls.

Looking back on this year, though a lot of good things have happened to me, its been a hard year for those I love. I hope the next one is better.

It's beginning to look a lot like xmas

Posted on December 1, 2005 By admin 2 Comments on It's beginning to look a lot like xmas

Except for the complete and utter lack of snow hereabouts… blergh. Only 18 days until I leave for Canadia, joy! Like Katy says, it can't come soon enough. It'll do me good to see friends and family again. Hopefully the shoulder from doom will be kind to me on this trip though. It's been acting up again and I've been waking up stiff as a board for the last two weeks. Not cool, not cool at all.


I've been reading an interesting book by Jon Grimwood called 9Tail fox. The bio reads:

Sergeant Bobby Zha of the SFPD is desperate to find out who murdered him. But he also needs the answers to some other questions. Like, why is he in another man's body? Why is someone trying to kill him, again… And why is he being haunted by a nine-tailed Celestial fox?From the shell-shattered ruins of Stalingrad in 1942 to the present day politics of San Francisco's Chinatown, 9tail Fox is evocative of place and crystal clear in its depiction of character.

It's not bad. There are bits and pieces that make prevent it from being excellent – one of which is that the author keeps thinking that you know the book and storyline just as well as he does, so he keeps making these hints that you think you should understand, but just don't and they're not explained so that just makes them frustrating. Besides that though, it's been keeping me entertained so that's always a good sign


Things at work are becoming interesting. In the span of 2 days, half a dozen people have contacted me about putting bits of the ontology lookup service I've been working on into their applications. Very gratifying. I'm almost done with the first draft of the paper I'm going to submit and it's being reviewed by my boss today.

That name rocks

Posted on November 25, 2005 By admin

Program and Organizing Committees have honor to announce the traditional biennial event-The Fifth International Conference on Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure (BGRS'2006). The Conference will be held on July 16-22, 2006, in the Novosibirsk Scientific Center, Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia.

I received this invitation for a scientific meeting by email. I'm tempted to go just because of the name of the place where it's held. Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk. With a name like that, the place has to kick ass :D

Quote of the day

"Scum," said Crash, his voice low with resigned menace, "you've bought a leopard, haven't you?"
--(Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)
