Wasting time, reading Martial's epigrams in latin... it's just like shopping, you can forget your problems easily with it. This one seemed particularly interesting. I wonder what the context actually is?
Martial Eppigrams - 13
Casta suo gladium cum traderet Arria Paeto,
quem de uisceribus strinxerat ipsa suis,
'Si qua fides, uulnus quod feci non dolet,' inquit,
'sed tu quod facies, hoc mihi, Paete, dolet.'...

Ah, Thanks... but honestly, it just means that I am a complete geek... who doesn't exactly fit in anywhere!
bepps:
I was just rambling by and noticed your profile. I would have to say that you fit in perfectly with my view of the perfect woman. 
Two things I've discovered I totally love.
giddyiguana:
You're just using what you have to get what you want. Opportunistic? Absolutely. Bad? Not in the least.

I was offered a job in Wyoming that paid a good bit more, and I turned it down.
It was a cool place to visit, but nowhere I'd like to live.
You know, taking advantage of guys like that sounds great until the tables are turned -- sorta like my karma ran over your dogma situation.
Be careful.

The countdown to the end of Star Trek is becoming so intense! The latest episode was called "In the mirror, darkly" and is a take on "Mirror, Mirror" (which, yes, I have the original Star Trek script - I am such a geek)!! T'Pol is looking totally hot with blonde hair in the alternate universe. I had that color of hair two weeks ago! We...

because star trek kind sucks..........please dont hurt me 
Sin City is an awesome movie... It's sooooo worth seeing!
I'm working up TPP data today! It appears that four years ago, I observed the glass transition, but only now have I had the opportunity and know-how to look at the data and verify that it was indeed Tg!! We also observed it going glacial (got all white and powdery) which was tooooo cool!!! This...

Yes, Sin City kicked ass. The opening scene alone was worth the price of admission.
As a political science major, I rarely get to deal with "hard data" like that aside from the occasional survey or poll...we deal more with the theoretical side of things. (Sometimes I find it hard to call it a real "science" at all since everything is so open to interpretation.)
Regardless, you research sounds terribly exciting, albeit a little foreign to me. Glad you're enjoying yourself!

Petschek's book has become quite interesting. I know I'll never talk to anyone ever again about the stars, but this book has started to completely absorb me. Chapter 5, Interaction of Supernovae with Circumstellar Matter -- by Roger Chevalier. Esentially this chapter reviews the circumstellar environment (including the progenitor stars) of supernovae. I'm amazed at how the cooling and compression (ie, hydrodynamics) of supernova goes....

Your metamorphosis sounds fascinating. I'm sure your hair is amazing to say the least. I don't see where you had the 10 pounds to loose as your body is breath taking already. These two guys must be out of there minds to allow you to slip between there fingers. Yours astronomy books sounds fascinating. Science has varied quite a lot since the 70's, hasn't it? Watching the windsurfers sounds relaxing, I'm sure you enjoyed your weekend. I pity those guys. Your too enchanting!!!!!!

Sadly, I think our sun won't have the glory of going supernova. It isn't massive enough (or as an astorphysicist may say, it isn't luminous enough). Instead, it'll slowly burn off all of it's hydrogen until it starts to expand in a red giant halo. Fun, eh? My statistical mechanics professor gave us a horrifying account of this a couple years ago in our discussion of dark matter and white dwarfs, and such. Earth will be engulfed by a huge gaseous red, superhot boring ball... no explosion. Eventually, the sun will collapse in on itself and become a white dwarf sitting in the middle of a nebula. Such a bitter fate.

well forget him if he doesnt know a good thing when he has got it. you deserve better than an asshole like that
maxwellxdemon:
looking at your great pix once again I can't help but notice that you appear a bit putoff by something. Maybe it's being outside or the person taking the pixs. What would be the ideal sitsuation to capture your entire beauty? 
There is a great deal of trickery involved in analyzing NMR spectra. Once you understand Fourier transforms and just how functions behave in time and in frequency space... couple that with convolution theory and then everything is simple. It's easy to zero-fill spectra to cheat the Fourier transform... or to apply window functions to filter spectra... And occasionally after a long day of staring at...

I honestly have no idea...I'm a political science major. You know as well as I do that if you laid every political scientist in the world end to end, we wouldn't reach a conclusion...
But thanks to you, I actually care now.

It's a beautiful day in nanoland and I have superconductors on the brain. Perhaps I'll go do some cooking in the lab once I finish my data analysis.
As seems to be the tradition, when I get in a fight with my friend, I pick up an astrophysics book and learn something new. Last time I read Kip Thorne's (I actually still have the last...

I just had to ignore a SG member. This is the first time I've ever had to do that... Grrrr...
liante:
Why'd you have to ignore the person?
Also, why I'm dropping by: thought of a new comment for your practice set but didn't want to clutter up the thread (or look absent-minded) by adding it there. So, ze comment:
The makeup, if you're even wearing any, is really effective in the practice set because it's so subtle and understated (or nonexistent, I can't tell). It works well with the lacy white panties and the relatively soft color of your hair. More vibrant colors would need stronger makeup to avoid overwhelming the face, but you've got a pretty much perfect balance for this look. You might consider a touch of light eyeshadow and maybe a pale pink lipstick, but it's not necessary by any means. Understatement creates its own drama here.
Okay, that's it for me babbling.

My best friend is leaving from the Bay Area in four months and I may never see him again after that... I think though that recently I've made him so mad that he'll never even speak to me while he's still here. I have a major crush on him and sometimes I act kinda foolish and do really stupid things. Last night I dropped by...

Wow i just saw the pics from that Backyard set and you are absolutely beautiful! I would love to be your friend so i can keep up with your progress.

Nice set.
