Just got back from my uncle's grandson's "Thomas the Choo Choo Train" themed birthday/thanksgiving party.

He's three, hates turkey and loves his choo choo trains.

It just dawned on me that I actually took my vegan girlfriend (now ex) to a gigantic sporting goods store with roughly a thousand of dead animals mounted for public display.

Was this not just the most disgusting screw-up I could possibly perpetrate on her? Man.

eh, she's probably used to it. vegetarians and vegans are used to watching the carnivorous appetites of others.

My favorite is watching dinnermates cracking the exoskeletons of shellfish and sucking out the meat. Sexy! puke

my friend had the privilege of telling Ann Coulter to "shut the fuck up" after her lecture the other day.

I envy your friend.

sloane1:
That rocks. More people need to tell Ann Coulter to shut the fuck up. wink

lastnight: I met a pretty girl from connecticutt who i'd seen earlier that day give a talk about prostitutes in sierra leone. She said prostitution increased reproductive fitness in the study she did there. Sounds pretty crazy to me, but she was super hottt and really smart.

are chemical engineers smart? i've found another use for jump ropes.... shall i share? kiss love

it's been a long time since i rapped with ya.

Let's see. Some friends of mine came to chicago for the American Anthropological Society conference, in addition to visiting yours truly.

They're funny. Believe it or not, i rarely talk science outside of work...but they were just lapping up the socio/anthropological aspects of just about anything. Nerds. smile

But i went out on the town and...

spent all day trying to solve an unsolvable question for my quantum homework. Typoes are at their worst when they're believable.

I'll be really happy when this quarter is over. In same class three weeks ago we were asked to convert a laplacian into spherical coordinates...something in mathematics that's akin to writing your full name 5,000 times over and over and over. 15 pages worth....

yay for quantum....and spherical coordinates are my favorite... diff eq and laplace transforms are mean.... but you are fun.... can we talk about jump ropes now wink blush kiss

I'm studying almost every moment of the day right now, and my free time tends toward the extremes no matter what i'm doing.

When i sleep at night, it's either for twelve hours or two.

Some days i eat 3 meals a day (which is unusual for me), others i just drink coffee and diet coke.

I trimmed my hair yesterday morning, then buzzed it...

so i checked into the whole SERS thing. turns out there was a little bit of interest in this awhile ago, but purely to study the scattering charachteristics of small metal particles. because you need the silver monolayer to adsorb to, organics such as cells well be ruined in the process.

i am a grad student in 'photonics' ucsd (san diego). basically laser engineering. did physics in undergrad.

in undergrad i had a problem with too much skewl work. food was pain in the ass cuz it took time to prepare... which i didnt have, asswell as those pesky showers. i really ought to be workin as hard as you, but im past my prime. ima slacker now.
what r u workin so hard on?

oh, it seems there are some tricky prospects for getting cells to adsorb to silver. guess its a bit of a chemistry problem. try and bind organics to metals. sounds pretty tricky, but apparently possible.

I was walking up to my doorstep, a little girl stopped me and asked if I could buy her a textbook for school. Saw the same kind of thing in portland.
dk_____:
ive only heard of raman scattering in the context of light amplification applications, impying that there is some excitations involved. for experiments such as mine, studying scattered light to gain info about the object scattering it, the assumption must be made that incident and scattered light are at the same wavelength, ie, no transitions.

what did you mean by using surface enhanced raman scattering? is this a method for imaging surfaces?

what r u a grad student in?
thanks for the comment.

what is an interesting life?
_6deana9_:
...NU students are alwayz interesting...how did they get in otherwise? but i prefer the word intriguing; interesting works as well

take care sweetie blush
