Fat Chicago

January 30th, 2006 · 5 Comments

Word on the street is that [tag]Chicago[/tag] has a lot of [tag]overweight[/tag] people. Actually, not just a lot, but apparently the most, per capita, so they’ve said in the news at least.
Apparently, as I imagine you’ve all heard, the effects are as far reaching as the [tag]CTA[/tag] widening seats to better cater [...]

blood contamination in the providence of Shanghai

January 29th, 2006 · 2 Comments

I tried to donate [tag]platelets[/tag] at the hospitals here last Friday. It ended up being the first time I’ve ever been rejected from donating. I had made an appointment, for the first time ever, on their recommendation from a week before when I had gone in to donate platelets.
There is a [...]

that Honda ad

January 19th, 2006 · No Comments

I saw this [tag]Honda[/tag] [tag]ad[/tag] today, and while I understand that it is apparently making the Internet rounds these days, I felt I too could help propagate it, because I did enjoy watching it.

automagically

January 18th, 2006 · 1 Comment

There are some fake words I have no problem with. I can only think of one at the time, however; that one is “chillax”. I have no doubt that there are a great many fake words in my vocabulary, some of which, like chillax, are simply the product of combining two other words. [...]

short people and umbrellas

January 18th, 2006 · 1 Comment

This hasn’t been so much a problem since I’ve been back in the US, because, I am not very tall here. But while I was in [tag]China[/tag], I was not so relatively short. This one time, while I was in Shanghai, we went to this outdoor market, but it was raining. So [...]

pasta alla carbonara

January 12th, 2006 · No Comments

So as I was eating the last leftovers of my most recent cooking attempt, I thought I’d write about how it went. And by write about how it went, I mean I’d just throw what I did up here and make a few remarks about it. Unfortunately I did not think so far [...]

spending momentum

January 10th, 2006 · No Comments

I’ve been going over my expenditures for the last week or so, since I’ve been back from China, and they’re kind of way unacceptably (and more importantly, unsustainably) high. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that while in China, I sort of got in the mindset that I could [...]

“I would rather be thin and yellow than fat and pink.”

January 6th, 2006 · 1 Comment

So while I was in China, I rediscovered my fondness for [tag]sweet potato[/tag]es.  I started coming up with harebrained ideas to introduce the mobile carts that you see in winter to the UChicago quad, even.  I gave up on that when I started thinking about how long it would take to break even if I [...]

I’m not sure why I did this thing, after seeing somebody else’s results I had a problem with it’s results already (lacking some key results as options there…). I’m also not sure why I got out of bed at 5 AM. Oh well.

You scored as Mathematics. You should be a Math major! Like Pythagoras, you [...]
