Hope everyone had an amazing and brilliant Thanksgiving break. Mine went pretty well considering we didnt go to vegas and have unlimited turkey. Other than eating too much food I spent a lot of the time shopping, although I ended up buying next to nothing. Oh well. Christmas is all about receiving, not giving right? Wait a sec . . .
If you missed the Chargers-Chiefs game, you missed one of the best games ever. In all seriousness, this is the best chargers team i've ever seen (granted thats not saying much).
Chargers 8-3
First place baby!!
"Did you go shopping recently?"

Gloating of the Victorious Part II
Once again, the Chargers defeated, pummeled, humbled, smacked down, laid down, brought down, knocked down our more hated and detested arch enemies of all time, and did it in the Black Hole!!! Wooooooo!!!!! LT is the man!!! So are Drew Brees, Antonio Gates, and Keenan McCardell, all of whom are now my favorite players of all time. Who woulda thought there would be a day when the real life Chargers were better than my madden team?? Watch as I bobble my LT bobble head in awe and amazement. *bobble bobble*
Chargers 7-3

So today I visited Kevin for the first time to give him my old midterms from the historic o-chem class with Prof. Tor. He lives in I-House, and I have to say that it was the nicest apartment in all of UCSD. The buildings look cool on the outside, and the inside is very very spacious. Kevin had this one roommate from Austrialia / Norway / Scandaniva who seemed pretty cool too. Chang was also dropping off ochem stuff, and he had an intense time examining the non straight lines of the walls and ceilings, and almost falling off a chair in the process. Kevin showed us his room, where I found songs of him singing kareoke on his computer. Fun stuff.
My poor dog. Over the weekend calvin and sam got in a fight, and calvin ended up with a large tear in his ear. It was all bloody and gross too. He seems allright now, but its too bad his beautiful, velvety ear is damaged. I guess its kinda like a battle wound, which just makes him look more gangsta street. So he's still one sexy looking labrador chow halfbreed.

"You could have told it was us from Brian's crazy driving"
"It's not crazy, its efficient"
This week has been pretty slow. With the intense excitement of midterms over I havent done an ounce of work all week, other than my usual slaving around at the lab. The only highlight of the week was Randy treating everyone to a goodbye dinner for Alex at the Korean House. Free food is always good, and mix that along with Randy cracking jokes and you get an awesome bundle of fun.
Oh, and now that I've got the free time I'll announce that after 3 1/2 years of loyal service from an '85 minivan, I finally got a brand new car. Its an amazing 2005 Civic LX, which I have nicknamed Blue. It feels great being able to drive without having to feel like you're going to tip over when you turn or that the engine will die if you stop at the stop sign or that the breaks will suddenly give out, although it does take some getting used to being so low to the ground. Blue is an awesome friend already, and I am looking forward to a great future together. Whooo!!
An Ode to Reuben's Retirement
To an old friend whose time is here
3 claps and a hearty cheer
For getting me to lab and school
The sandy beach or the swimming pool
You broke down at least once or twice
But overall our times were nice
Now at the end, your job is set
Taking the dogs to the vet.
Happy Retirement Mr. Van!!!

Chargers: 42
Raiders: 14
Woooo!!!! The Chargers destroyed our arch enemies, massacred them, slaughtered them, pounded, squashed, smashed, crushed, and all but annihilated them in possibly the greatest game in history (ok, maybe not . . . but close). Not bad for a team that people said would be the worst team in football.
Halloween with Raymond, Vic, Grace, and Kimberly at Raymond's yearly Haunted Garage. Lots of fun as always, with a really cool baby holding a machette climbing out of a flashing car with caution tape around it. Free pizza didnt hurt either.
More free pizza today in lab meeting. I also got to show the lab my nonsensical data, saying such brilliant comments as "Uhh, well, err" as I tried to explain why half the strains were different than the rest. Thanks a lot, freak Hrd 11 mutants that act screwy for a poor undergrad's experiment.
