> Hehe, that’s so cute! Taken from phdcomics.com. Anyways, I had a fairly good day! The morning started with a shoulder workout, with an addition of five pounds to the single shoulder military press, bringing it to six sets of six reps at seventy lbs. This coupled with front and lateral raises with 30 lbs…

> In my ongoing search for finding a proper set of studies for the next few years of my life, I have been reading a few things to both help aid my choice in supervision, provide tools to further my professional development and to also kill time in the holidays, since I am feeling hyper…

> I know that anniversaries or special numbers are supposed to be something epic, but I really don’t have anything particularly interesting really. This year has been wild and epic and I think thats been implied through my past blog postings. What I did find interesting was that prior to watching 2012 (which BTW is…

> I can’t emphasize how sick these Shure SRH840s are. I keep hearing things I haven’t heard before, with such a delicacy that I really really need a new source to appreciate all of this new found power. My current USB sound card/”sound enhancer” the Creative XMod (which laughably has been scorned by everyone as…

> Today I went on a little retail therapy with the family and amongst other things, landed a highly coveted item (at least on Head-Fi.org) the Shure SRH840 professional line cans. I haven’t had too much time with them yet, and they still have to be burned in (whether this is an important or even…

> I’m supposed to be wrapping presents right now, but that’s ok, I will take a break to blog. Yesterday I had a great time with friends, right from the wee hours of the morning. I ended up at the mall around ten, along with the rest of the city, trying to find that last…

> For a second there i thought you disappeared It rains a lot this time of year And we both go together if one falls down I talk out loud like you’re still around No no And I miss you I’m goin back home to the west coast I wish you woulda put yourself in…

> Why does life do this to me? It has handed me the most wonderful sweetest feeling, and yet within is the most bitter bile imaginable. What the fuck.

> Kind of cool, an article “Simians are also spooked by snakes” by S. Dingfelder shows that there might be deep evolutionary roots of snake phobias in humans. Drs. Masahiro Shibasaki and Nobuyuki Kawai of Nagoya University found laboratory raised macaque monkeys who had never been exposed to snakes before, were quicker to point pictures…

> Sleeping on it. One of the topics discussed over dinner is how study habits have changed. In my undergraduate years, I found myself easily running study marathons well into the morning. In particular, I remember my Forest Entomology ENT 380 midterm, where I had to memorize the tree species, tissue layer, season time, year,…

> After a hardcore workout (ok not really, not at all), I have settled in for a quick blog after an amazingly clean feeling hot hot shower. I hit the upper pectorals with 4 sets of 20 repetitions with 75lb dumbbells (my current bench until the holiday is over, as I just can’t be bothered…

> Today I spent a good while going nuts with the dust wipes I picked up from Dollarama (20 for a buck!), and hit all major dust piles in my room. It was exciting. I leave a life of adventure and amazement. Gawd. That and my bottle of knockoff Windex. I added another five pounds…
