Add Jimi Hendrix to that Eric Clapton post.

So I read a cyclohexane where it should've been a hexane and only got a 90 on the organic test. Damn. Other hand: 100 on the physics test. In other words, I can do pretty well with tests in succession.

I'm looking at physics programs AS I TYPE. Incidentally, if anyone has any suggestions regarding funding, I'm open. I need to look into grants, probably. NSF, anyone? Ugh, but all these things take the time I do not have.... Finding it. Finding it.

By God, I have it! A Madonna musical about life and death, but mostly death.

Including:
"Like a Surgeon"
(Like a surgeon / cut for the very first time / like a sur-r-r-geon...)

"Immaterial Girl"

...and more!

Eric Clapton is good for a low-key talkparty. Recall. Also he works with fires and Nutella.

Goldfrapp musical!

Why is my physics book "a strategic approach"? Such doesn't seem to leave much room for an opposite or an alternate methodology.

I have Rock Band 3. So:

Dear Rock Band Folks,

Your musical selections are, for the most part, pretty decent. You should really have more from the 60s, but that's okay. You covered the 70s and 80s pretty well. The 90s are a little iffy, but in the interest in your monumental fuck-up regarding the next decade, I'll forgive you.

Let me just say that I respect your monumental precipice. In the last decade, a quintet of gargling yaks might have produced music with more merit than did the major labels. Still, you shouldn't have given up hope! There is some good music out there, and, yes, most of it is not major. Still, in the interest of elucidated tastes, let me propose some good material from the last ten-or-so years.

Devastation, The Besnard Lakes
All to All OR Chase Scene, Broken Social Scene
Clocks, Coldplay (COME ON, they need ONE song)
Heart Full of Pentagons, Film School
40', Franz Ferdinand (or SOMETHING by default, damnit)
Strict Machine OR Utopia OR Caravan Girl, Goldfrapp
Human, The Killers
Runaway, Ladytron
Monkey, Matthew Dear
Black Sheep, Metric
Time to Pretend, MGMT
Silvia, Miike Snow
Grace Kelly, Mika
Supermassive Black Hole, Muse
House of Cards, Radiohead
Fire With Fire OR Music is the Victim, Scissor Sisters (appropriately enough)
Photograph AND Poison, Shiny Toy Guns
Tony the Beat, The Sounds (which is just fun, okayshaddup)
Drops of Jupiter OR Meet Virginia, Train (pushing the 00s a bit)

by the way, in general, you need (some or more) U2, The Smiths, R.E.M., Paradise Lost, Lush, Led Zeppelin (STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN! and Immigrant Song, please), Garbage, Fleetwood Mac, Eurhythmics, The Eagles, CCR (by default, for Christ's sake), The Cars, The Beach Boys, Blondie

General statement: Odd things happen to me.

Specific 1: I didn't even mean to go to Wal-Mart. Yet somehow I ended up invited to a wedding.

Specific 2: In the garden department.

Anime Response: ...

Switching from physics to organic without a clutch! Finals are going to be OWLs, for sure.

A guy in organic still talks with his lab partner from last year. Evidently in his uni section, they don't even think about running their own GCs or IRs or NMRs. And they do an exercise similar to the APS separation, but as a final lab. Yeah, it was our first.

BAM That library last night had blue running lights. Not quite as odd as the Detroit airport, but close.

Somehow both Stacy and Amanda describe me as their major corruptive force.
(I hate that sentence.)
Mission: yeah bitch yeah. I'm in your mind graffitiing your neurons YEAH.
(I like that sentence. "graffitiing" - my word)

I was just going to go home after we let the astronomy class go. Danny talked me into going to Starbucks to study physics with Giorgio and Josh. He bought me tea. The checkout chick was going to throw out two dozen yogurt parfaits so we got 'em. We crashed the Riddle library because nothing else is open after ten. There was much discussion of crack and normal forces and Danny's sharpshooting ability and the possible semen on Josh's hands*.
(*It was chalk. Probably. He is a gymnast.)

It's one am. I have tests this week and a movie premiere. I am not tired. I am wired. I want a dance party.

I can't believe Stacy went to sleep instead of experiencing the second paragraph. Obviously I haven't worked hard enough.

For future reference, seasons happen all at once. For example, it was still close to summer last week, excepting a bit of a breeze. All of a sudden, Monday's fall. Granted, I was in Phoenix for the GRE on Saturday and I didn't go outside much on Sunday, but still - a day, two days, pfft. Seasons switch quickly.

I had other thoughts to record, but I forget what they were. Oh wells.
