another year passed by

and yet, i still haven't been able to find a valentine's day card that is better than this one:



i tried making my own, but of course it wasn't as super.

if you have a take-home midterm due the next day, stay up all night and draw a comic!

drawing legs is always my weakness. no matter how hard i try, how many reference pictures i looked up online, or how much time i spend erasing and re-drawing, they always come out looking really awkward. so this time, instead of trying to find a reference picture, which usually makes me feel dirty because i always end up in some gay pornsite, i took off my pants and stood in front of my closet mirror with a sketchbook in one hand and a pencil on the other.

the result is marvelous: long sexy legs for hijikata-san. <3 <3

be careful who you live with

i can't stand it anymore. someone's just GOT to do this.



mike judge, the creator of beavis and butthead graduated from UCSD (where i went to for undergrad) with a PHYSICS degree in 1985. a rumor has it that during his last year as an undergraduate, he lived with 2 graduate students in physics. these 2 gradstudents then became a model for beavis and butthead.

years later, these 2 graduate students went on to become physics professors at UCSD. to the left is david kleinfeld, one of the prominent biophysicists at UCSD, and to the right is jim branson, an experimental particle physicist who heads some of the projects in LHC in CERN, geneva.

i am not shitting you. i have had 3 classes with branson, and he does the typical HUR HUR HUR laugh that butthead does. i have also heard from people who work with kleinfeld that he cusses just about as much as beavis does.

i love my undergraduate years. this post is by no means intended to disrespect the professors. i truly enjoyed being in 3 of dr. branson's class, and his online quantum mechanics notes is a life-saver. the greatest moment was when he tried to roll down the screen he used for his powerpoint lectures and it took him about 20-30 tries before it finally stopped trying to roll itself back up. he then proceeded to say, "a theorist would've given up by now," which had me rolling on the floor laughing.

little things that get me through the day

that's right, bitches. i finally got bristol paper. and look, it's even bigger than my desk space. damn i hate this desk.

ey, DAWGFOOD

look at what's written on the wall next to the physics and chemistry building:



and look at the kind of conversation i have to deal with on a daily basis:

Giroro5X: Is it frowned upon to just make shit up for a resume?
e1n: not really
e1n: that's what a resume basically is
Giroro5X: Cool. Because I exaggerated my penis size.
e1n: hmmm
e1n: they might ask you to prove it
Giroro5X: It's cool, I have a plan.
e1n: chocolate mold?
Giroro5X: Close.
Giroro5X: Duct tape.
e1n: masochist
e1n: when you peel them off it might be smaller than it already was
Giroro5X: That's how dedicated I am.
e1n: sacrifice your penis for a job?
Giroro5X: Or some other dude's. I might have to get creative on this one.
e1n: i think that works better
Giroro5X: Is that a volunteer?
e1n: nah
e1n: im asian
e1n: you ducttape my penis, i wont have any left when you peel them off
e1n: find another irishman
Giroro5X: Man, that is harsh.
e1n: or a black dude
Giroro5X: No. Black dude would tell me it's a hate crime.
e1n: true
e1n: fellow irishman then
Giroro5X: Looks like it'll have to be.
e1n: family member?
Giroro5X: Sure, I've got enough of 'em that I'm cool with castrating.
e1n: cool
e1n: good plan then
Giroro5X: We're agreed.
e1n: yup
