Hello, I Love My Mom... and Mr. T

So it was my mom's birthday yesterday right? But I'm here in Taiwan and unemployed... How does one send her love and good birthday wishes across the South China Sea with a limited non-existent budget?

And lo, the answer revealed itself as this:



Happy Birthday Mom!!

Hello, I Love Pretending I Care

This holiday season, are you wondering what to give that person from the next cubicle who you don't really care about but you feel somewhat beholden to because she/he always lets you take as much of his/her tissues and use his/her scissors to jimmy your file cabinet open?

Why not send them an e-card from someecards.com? They have some pretty funny holiday cards that say loud and clear "Hey man, I don't know you that well, but merry Christmas... now can I have more tissue?"


this is funny because this is what I will be doing on the 25th...

All I Want for Christmas...

... is a giant, firebreathing robot dog that I can ride around the streets of London.

Thesis a Progress Report

You always hear people say that it's hard to make progress if you don't keep track of your progress (okay maybe only I'm the only one who always hears it... from the strange voices in my head...). So to help make headway in the lost cause that is my thesis, I made the following charts to document how far I've gone after three months of thesis sweat, blood and tears:


Figure 1. Overall Progress


Figure 2. Number of Zits


Figure 3. Weight Gained (in lbs)


Figure 4. Stress-to-Output Ratio

I'm thinking of passing this to my thesis advisor in lieu of a real progress report...

Hello, I Love Sleeping Around



Here's an interesting article from jezebel.com on why women sleep around and how it's not as anomalous or unnatural as some people think.

If you have the time, you can read the actual study from New Scientist that the jezebel article cites, it's longer but it's a good read.

Anyway, now I understand why I never seem to get a lot of tail...
