OT - I'm bored

[ritari330]

Haha, yes, yes it was.

Interestingly (and unfortunately) enough, due to a strange debate about the original artwork in the Winnie the Pooh book series that inspired the Disney cartoons, concerning the masculinity or femininity of Christopher Robin in those illustrations (he looked like a girl), and since my first name is Christopher, all of the girls in my research lab in the fall have taken to calling me Christopher Robin. And so has my girlfriend, who was a main participant in the original discussion, back before we were dating, and who is in Budapest with my fall research group right now.

I don't fight it because it beats my new nickname of "Sickly Bear," and my old nicknames of "Stoner" and "Gonorrhea Boy" (because of staph infection on my armpit), and because I got called Christopher Robin quite a bit in grade school as well.

you have some crazy friends

I was called Brian Birdbrain in school because I flapped my arms when I got excited about something. I hated it.

I'm a scientist. Most of my friends are also scientists. This should be expected.

So I did go to sleep, but now I'm watching SportsCenter and I would have to say that Randy Winn cost the Cardinals that game against the Rockies. Two of those base hits were very catchable balls and he stayed back and let them hop. If he catches even one of them, the Cardinals win.

I sweat easily, so just from the 5-minute walk to work, the back of my shirt got a little soaked. It's pretty oppressive here, too.

I went for a jog today, in what I didn't know at the time, Code red air quality. Yeah, I practically died halfway through

mariners found yet another way to lose.

bottom of the 8th, down by 1. Ichiro gets a good jump off of first as Branyon cranks one to right. No doubt Ichiro will score, but a dumb-ass fan reaches over for a souvenir and cuts it back to a ground rule double.
Lopez grounds out to end the inning.

Well look at that. I'm this thread's seventh most prolific poster. I'm not sure how that makes me feel...

you are bored a lot. finally i get an air conditioner up here. it is 102 degrees here.

 

[scottflyers88]

[Darkstone42]

I've got some catching up to do.

Also, I'm at work, and it's about 72 in this room, which is nice. It's pretty warm outside, but I have the benefit of needing a temperature controlled environment to analyze these inhibitor kinetics.

Hooray science!
