8:22 pm - Opera
|
|
I want to go to the opera. The San Francisco Opera is playing La Traviata from June 13 to July 5th. Good seats are about $100. It's probably worth it, but I don't want to go by myself. Anyone want to go to the opera with me? Details can be found at http://sfopera.com/o/275.asp

I want to move out as soon as my grad school applications are finished (December 15th). I've had enough living with my crazy landlady. She was great for conversation at first, but now her eccentricities have become too much for me. I'm looking for a room in a house of young people in North Berkeley, Elmwood, Rockridge/other nice parts of Oakland. Rent $700 and under unless the place is amazing.

11:34 pm - Wicked
|
|
Wicked is coming to San Francisco, but are tickets expensive. $110 is the lowest price. What's up with that? I saw it in London for 32 pounds (64 dollars). Isn't London supposed to be more expensive?

2:02 am - Glüwein
|
An awesome drink:
1 shot brandy or Amaretto
1 cup hot hot wine
This tastes great, and goes straight to the head, as you can imagine. A German translation, "Es schmeckt lecker und geht direkt zum Kopf, wie du glauben kannst."

1) Michelle picks her nose.
2) It is important to consider melting curves of all samples when setting the acquisition temperature in a qPCR run.
3) Shake your balla.

2:23 am - Awesome Night on the Town
|
What a great night.
First, I went to AnonConCon. Though it was a bit boring at first, it became more interesting as I loosened up and we moved to Raleighs.
Then, I caught the bus to Ben 'n' Nick's in Rockridge. What an awesome bar. It has a really nice atmosphere, and talking to Jeremy was a lot of fun. We drank two pitchers, then my roommate came, we drank some more, and we wandered around Rockridge a bit. Then we returned to Ben 'n' Nick's after hanging out at some strange bar. Eugene had bought a gourmet pizza from Zachary's, I had a slice, and it was absolutely amazing. We drank another pitcher (most of the drinking was done by Jeremy and me) and then I rode the bus towards home. But the night didn't end there.
Since I'm one smooth motherfucker, I went to Shattuck Downlow, where I asked to see how the dance floor was. They didn't let me in to check it out, but said I could look around the corner to observe the dance floor. I watched for a bit, and then just went in without paying the $10 cover. Hell yea. I danced the night away for an hour and a half, and caught the 800 home just in time. : ) And now I'm here. Good night.

9:07 pm - Burps are Hotttt
|
|
Since I will have a neuroscience final in a few days, I was studying all day today. In the afternoon, I migrated to the VLSB library where I sat across from a group of girls. Out of the blue, one of them utters a loud burp. The rest of the girls give off quiet giggles. I raise my head, and, in a not so indoors voice, say, "That's hot!" Several more people laugh out loud and everyone resumes studying.

So, I'm sitting in the deathly silent library, working on my Advice Stairway presentation, when some dude sneezes. Some girl pierces the silence with an ostentatious "bless you". Not 30 seconds later, the cute girl sitting across from me does a half cough, half sneeze. I, emboldened by the former blesser, announce another obstreperous "bless you". Girl looks up at me with a what-a-weirdo smile.
