Let the marketing extravaganza begin! Actually, although some products are leaking out, the big Revenge of the Sith commercialism orgy doesn’t begin until Saturday. And boy will it be hard to avoid.

I’ve been directing so many people to watch these trailers and promised to send links to others, this will serve as a reminder. Sin City looks amazing, and early reviews have been stellar. I think a trip out next weekend to see it will be in order. Like the trailers, though, I think the [...] This is what Kyle gets for putting ideas in my head. My meager artistic and photo manipulation skills notwithstanding, yeah, I can see the similarities. Lose the glasses and some weight, and we have our new machinist. But can he pull off Batman? It’s hard to believe that I have a mere five days of classes left. Ever. Over the past few weeks I’ve been making mental notes of the little things I’ll miss. My multicolor pen. Anyone who has seen my notes from class will understand. I don’t have the neatest of handwriting, and [...] For all its usefulness, Microsoft Word can be really irritating. Like how the default Print icon sends jobs directly to the printer. Or its ‘helpful’ autoformatting. Don’t even get me started on Clippy and his pals (I thought these guys were being retired)! These are just some of the things I [...] Sometimes they happen. The proverbial one of those days. Yesterday definitely qualified. It was while showering that I remembered that the latest “Design Activity” was due later that morning in my sampling class. We’re going through the process of designing a survey, and every couple of weeks we look at the next step [...] Now here’s some culture I can get into! If hardcore purists can get upset at the recent Lord of the Rings movies, imagine what they’ll think of a three-hour musical extravaganza. I look forward to seeing if they can pull it off, as it would be something I’d definitely consider going to despite not being [...] Interesting fact I learned today: on average, you wake up once or twice per hour at night. During my sleep study last month, I woke up 21 times in the 6 hour span. That’s quite a lot (of course, being the statistician, in the back of my mind I was wondering how significant [...] My visit to Mt. Sinai went very well; I met some impressive researchers, and the projects they have on the go would be really interesting to work on. In the end though, I have decided to accept the offer from GSK. So, pending a background check, it’s off to Oakville/Mississauga for me. While in [...] It’s nice to feel organized and in control. With my sampling assignment for Monday out of the way, I don’t have anything else due for a few more weeks. I’m able to review and organize my class notes that were starting to accumulate in piles here and there. In particular, I can [...] Fresh off the news of my brother’s engagement, let all the related hoopla begin. There’s apparently an engagement party happening on Saturday night being hosted by Lisa’s parents. Only very recently did it occur to me that this might be a gift-giving occasion. Billie said yes, to which I expressed mocked outrage. How [...] My survival analysis midterm a couple of days ago was officially craptacular; probably one of the worst midterms I’ve written. And it’s not because it was hard, since honestly I thought it wasn’t that bad at all. I messed up by spending too much time on the first question (and correcting silly mistakes), [...] |
