ETA: FYI, that lab is in the building across the street. And the PI is the husband of the person with whom we share a common lab. They made the video as part of a contest for their annual departmental retreat.

(Ugh, Monday morning made worse by daylight savings time.)
1. I am really enjoying The Wire. It's from the same guy who started Homicide: Life On The Streets, and it takes place in Balmer, too. It had me at the first episode, when one of the characters said you couldn't get on US currency unless you were a president.
2. I am typing up my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bandomvalentine fic. Bb Discos. Just porn, really. With always-a-girl Spencer and Brendon having sex for the first time. You can imagine how it goes. Having said that, anyone willing to beta it, once it's finished, or should I just send it in gmail to the usual group?
3. My generally negative opinion of the Hallmark-created Valentine's Day crap aside, this amuses me.
4. I really want to see Foxy Shazam's Eric and Ryan Ross on stage together. I just. How did they get paired up on a tour? As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arielchan pointed out, it would be even better in front of the huge rabbit that's painted on the wall at the White Rabbit.
5. I'm sorta sad that passes for Under Great White Northern Lights are so fucking expensive, so I'll have to hope that I can get a regular ticket at one of the bigger venues after all the badges and passes have gotten in.
6. We The Kings & Mayday Parade at HOB Monday. fun and Jack's Mannequin in San Antonio on Tuesday. Who's with me? :D

we should hit up jose o'flanigan's
Jan. 11th, 2010 02:39 pm+ I claimed a prompt for bandomvalentine! At first I was thinking that I'd write a ficlet in a 'verse I've already written in, but I sorta want to write something different. We'll see. I'll probably bug some of you via gmail about it.
+ I signed up forbandombigbang again this year. Hopefully this time I'll actually finish the fic, since the people involved cannot disillusion me via Twitter. Plus, already outlined. Hopefully I'll keep motivated to get it all finished this time instead of letting it peter out into 5000 words of unfinished fic + an outline, like last year's.
+vic_ramsey and wordsalone are responsible for my new fascination: Generation Kill. It is the most sexist, racist, politically incorrect thing I've ever seen, and it hurts to watch the stupidity sometimes, but I can't look away. I've got three episodes left to watch. Then I maybe might look for some fanfic of the Brad/Nate or Brad/Ray (they are so so married) persuasion.
+ Ugh. Do not corner me in my office and bombard me with demands before I even have my coat off on Monday morning. I usually need the first hour of the day on Monday morning to plan the week's experiments, and if you bug me, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be as unhelpful as possible. Wait an hour and you're infinitely more likely to find me amenable to your demands.
+ OMG, I *hurt* from laughing at this: Nissan Pavilion has been renamed Jiffy Lube Live. If there is a god, Gabe Saporta (and other bandom folks) will perform there this year and make ridiculous fandom-related jokes about the venue's name.

Jan. 28th, 2009 09:26 pmAccording to TX-DOT, the hackers who managed this were "amusing, but not at all helpful".
Hackers: working to keep Austin weird. :D

We switched over to Palladia during half-time of the Chargers/Colts game, and parts of V-Fest '08 were being broadcast. Are being broadcast.
I like the Kings of Leon. But seriously, half the time when I hear the chorus of Sex On Fire, you know, the "yeah, your sex is on fire" line?
I think, "You know, there are antibiotics to take care of that problem."
ETA: Also, you guys? AAR cover Womanizer. There is an accordion, and Chris plays beer bottles. They are a source of unending LOLs. I know there's not going to be much in the way of tour shenanigans in the next few months given the upcoming writing/recording for < insert band name here >, but at least we'll have the Tyson/Nick/Chris/Mike show to entertain us.

What does it say about me...
Dec. 24th, 2008 11:29 am...that, when J sent an email with snowballing as the subject line, my first thought was that she was giving me a rec for a really porny book or fic?
(For the record, it was about her plans for vacation, which are rapidly gaining momentum.)

I got this from J, in an email in which she complained about a poorly edited book:
Now. I ask you.
Doesn't that just SCREAM for prison AU crack fic?
Unless you are writing about a reproductive or urological problem, you probably shouldn’t use the phrase “penile system”. And when you are writing about the criminal justice system, the word should be penal.
Now. I ask you.

I am WAY too easily entertained

ETA: Here, have another laugh. I burned a bunch of music from home onto CDs and loaded 'em onto my PC at work. Today I was listening to Jason Manns on shuffle, and I forgot that the mixed CD that held his songs also had some Jason Mraz, some VAST, and How do you fuck a boy without a pussy on it. Until the last came up on the Real Player menu while the Chief was stopped at my bench asking about experiments.
*palm/forehead*
Not exactly work-appropriate music.

May. 9th, 2007 03:35 pmHat-tip to J for this link. The five-second rule investigated. Dude. Who funds this sh*t, and are they accepting grant applications right now?
RE: Chris Cornell, Live in Seattle
( Arm yourself because no one else here will save you )
ETA: More science headlines. This? Is unfortunate. Beyond unfortunate to just worriesome, sad, and bizarre. I never would have thought to connect the two, although, duh, HPV = virus = always a possibility that it can do its thing in other tissues and cell types.

The cashier at the shop thought this sticker was serious, and asked why they'd bother since most NIN fans liked the perverse and subversive anyway.
Anybody here tried calling the number? MrIris requested that I not use the home phone when I mentioned that I wanted to. ;)
