If you're like me and you leave your desktop computer on at all hours, think about downloading the software from Folding@home. It's a distributed computing app from Stanford, where they're studying how and why proteins fold. They explain it all quite well on the site, but the thing that sold me was that the knowledge gained from these studies will expand our understanding of...

Not sure what to get my little brother for his birthday. He's turning 15.
(For those of you keeping score, and it always surprises me to find out that any of you are, this isn't the musician brother. This is the one from my dad's second marriage.)
I'm thinking The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in a box set or single hardcover volume. I haven't...

For real! I'm more fascinated by the civil engineering of my dreamland than the analysis, actually. In my dreams, I'm a city planner! My parents always wanted me to be an architect......
I smell of sweat, smoke, beer, and pot.
Oh, and big, big fun.
Thank you, Ann Arbor, and a thousand blessings upon your most noble ambassador.

your userpic is making me hungry.
posh:
oh, what a sweet smell that must be.
I don't work in a bookstore anymore.
My feelings about that are decidedly mixed.
That's just the fear talking. My time was up.
On to Ann Arbor for a weekend of nature hikes and learning to imitate the call of the loon.

Haha, thanks! 
Thanks for not auto-rejecting someone who wrote about a Veruca Salt concert on her college app essay.
Or perhaps the ability to compose a witty and lovable college app essay despite asinine subject matter is what makes me worthy.
Either way, I'm glad to be in the group.

Listening to The Flying Burrito Brothers makes me feel like I did two years ago. Grad school. Weird hours. Pressure-cooked friendships. I miss my life then. I wish I could get it back part-time.

Hey hot tits, this is your friendly neighborhood Ann Arbor updator.
I bought tickets to MC Pee Pants just in case you stuck around Sunday Night.
Friday there will be much rejoicing.
Satruday there will be sleeping - then Ann Arboring - then Rejoicing.
Sunday there will be MC Pee Pants, or you on a bus.
If you elect to stay Sunday for the Pee Pants, then we shall only do 90% rejoicing on Satruday because many of the kids are going to turn it up to Eleven on Sunday... if you are not planning on staying Sunday ... we shall make sure to finger LL Cool J's asshole and turn said mother out on Saturday instead.
Seirously, get some rest.

I realized recently that I've been on here for almost two years, and that was one of the memories that came to me, was you and I talking about school.
During the last two acts of Macbeth I sat with my jeans totally undone, button, fly, the works, anything to relieve the pressure on my straining bladder. In other news, sweaters rule.

Hey, Ryan just blew my mind!

How about something simple, like a thread mention + a "seconding" vote gets you the Laurels? Straightforward, with minimum chances of disappointment (always the possibility of a pity second).
I guess this morphs what I'm proposing into a glorified version of the Pearls before Swine thread. But glorifying brilliance is what the award (actually functions more like an Honor Roll) is about.
Food for thought.

It is time to cease the celebrations.
Now is the time for sympathy, for Ginny just had her wisdom teeth pulled today. Be swift of foot and soak up her mope with your affection.

Carson Kressley is an incredibly entertaining personality but taking fashion advice from his is as wise as getting married before thirty. Great for some people but altogether not wise. He wears ties as belts!!
How ya been?

Yet another Turing test automaton blatantly fails at the very task for which it was built, with hilarious results. Guess its back to the drawing board?

Maybe next time I'll use a trebuchet instead of a catapult. Then when someone asks you what Keri ever did for you, you can show them the waffle-shaped dents in your chest.
Doc says the flu rarely lasts over a week in young(ish) people, so I've probably seen the worst of it already. Being a virus you can't do anything against it; you can only treat the symptoms. Call me crazy, but I think it's neat how the body runs a fever in order to break down viruses, so I'm always a bit reluctant to take tylenol...
