YAJU

Yet another job update.

I've been applying like mad for the last month and as always, nothing.

I've now been applying for jobs for a year. I don't understand why I'm
not getting more interviews, let alone hired.

Spring'06 grades

Grades were in yesterday. I got 3 A's and 1 B. 7 credits of A, and 3
credits of B.

I scored an A in bioinformatics seminar (1 credit), biometrics (3
credits), and microarray analysis (3 credits). The B was in biophysics
(3 credits).

My GPA was 3.41 and is now 3.46. :( I'm hoping that if I can score an
A, or even a B, when I retake numerical methods that it will rise above
3.5.

<3 Dr. Who

i just watched s2e2 of the dr. who confidential show that is on after the actual eps

i grew up watching dr. who and reading the dr. who novels and watching all kinds of other sci fi shows and reading comic books for 13yrs of my life. *sigh* i think the best thing i took away from all of that was that knowledge will save you, every time.

that really was the point. either the doctors innate knowledge, which was vast, would save the day or knowledge gained from the local area/environment or people or by observing the situations around him and his companions. every single time, learn what there is to learn and win.

this is also the case in all sci-fi shows pretty much, especially ones that feature doctors, which were my favorite ones. beverly crusher on the next generation and Dr. Suzanne McCullough from War of the Worlds were both inspirations to go into Microbiology.

that is also why i'm attracted to Bioinformatics. I love the possibility that we could reach a point where people could be helped from minute but vital information that needs to be interpreted just-so.

Revisionist real estate

A nasty greek dive apparently didnt survive the gentrification of
clarendon. Or at least the building of many many huge condo bldgs. Its
being replaced by 'mama quan's tiki hut'. Lets all pray its not as
hokey as it sounds.

President Bush == War Criminal

I just finished reading Jimmy Carters 'Our Endangered Values'. I really
wish we could have someone in the office of President next who had guts
and would send Bush to the ICC (International Criminal Court) to be
prosecuted for war crimes and environmental crimes.

I also wish that he (or she) would index the minimum wage to inflation
on a 7yr scale to bring it current, establish 20K as the poverty level,
eliminate income tax for below the poverty level, establish a flat tax
up to 200K, and an increasing tax rate over 200K.

Reaffirm Kyoto and enforce the Clean Air Act, specifically regarding old
power generation sites. Fund pebble bed nuclear power plants for the
50yr short term and fund wind, solar, and nano technologies in the
interest of future energy sources.

Use the vast collective bargaining power of the government to reduce
drug costs from runaway Big Pharma while examining their patent rights
and enforcing them overseas as necessary.

Increase the Cafe standard to 30mpg effective immediately and remove the
SUV exemption. Then have the standard increase to 40mpg for all
vehicles after 5yrs. No cheating would be allowed, if its a hybrid then
the engine, when in use and examined in isolation, would have to meet
the Cafe standard, any additional mileage by the battery would simply be
bonus.

Enforce and strengthen the inheritance tax.

Remove loopholes regarding 'hiding' earnings, either by individuals or
companies, in off-shore accounts.

Encourage an individual savings rate of 10% post-tax. This is beyond
and after the 10-15% people should be saving for retirement in
retirement accounts. This is encouraging, repeatedly, people to be
responsible citizens.

The sad part is that as revolutionary as these steps may sound, they are
only the most obvious steps necessary to really begin to advance. We
have suffered severe regression under the inept presidency of War
Criminal Bush.

Spring time rutting season

Holy crap! I swear I've got the rutting instinct. Lately I've been
jacking off and blowing my load constantly. I totally feel like I need
to breed as many times as necessary til my load takes hold.

Not that I'm complaining :) I've been having awesome edge sessions and
really strong orgasms.

Springtime++

Git yo rutt on!!

xians running rampant

ugh! i got to campus today and some slick-willy lookin' jackass yacking on his cellphone says to me, 'hey, want a bible?' and holds out this stupid green tiny book. wtf? so i glare at him and say, 'no'. then i ask the desk woman to get rid of the xian outside since he's bothering people, ME. she says she can't call security because it's freedom of speech.

bah. i think she was probably a xian collaborator and protecting him.

xians are insidious and will infiltrate the best run organizations, they are like roaches.

New haircut

Rockin' the new haircut from DJ at Ebru Salon on the corner of North
Monroe ST and Lee Highway in Arlington, VA. She did a great job and
made the changes I asked for and the owner brought me coffee. He and DJ
are very nice and the space is open and well designed. I'll be going
back. :)
