No dawn! No day!
Say what you will about Florence and the Machine, but I wish the song “Cosmic Love” had existed when I was a teenager. Screaming along with it would be way more meaningful if I had a shitty ex-boyfriend right now. Whatever, I still absolutely love it.
hey so what part of "I'm Vegan"
squidarts:
Don’t you fucking get. I don’t understand why people do these things. Never do you cook like this and now that I’m Vegan suddenly EVERYTHING needs, butter, eggs and milk. Thanks, Merry Christmas, I’ll just eat my own fucking fingers tonight.
Best idiotic vegan-related question from a family member this christmas: “So, what about seasonings? Like, thyme and other spices, can...
Oh shit it's after noon
And the seasonal beer that I made my underage sister’s boyfriend buy and save for me until I came back up north is within reach. God I love break.
Not that I wouldn’t be drinking at noon on a Thursday during the semester, but now there’s Wisconsin beer.
What kind of liberal are you (quiz)? →

I got “New Left Hipster.” This is like the millionth time I’ve been accused of being a hipster and I SO AM NOT ONE.
I’m going to drink a can of PBR and smoke a Parliament Light while fuming about this.
I got “Working Class Warrior” which pleased me. The questions about “who to put before a death panel” and “which area of the country should...
Is anyone here good with proportional hazard models? …Anyone?
I have a facebook friend who is someone I knew in grades 4-7 when I lived in Columbus, Wisconsin. Back then, we did cool things like naming a small bride over a creek (or crick as one would say in that region) “The Condom Crossing” because we once saw a used condom floating by there.
Anyway, she’s since become some sort of bikini model and was recently crowned “Miss...

Talked to my cousin who’s in the same class and he said she mentioned the requirement a few times. So basically I’m just stupid and can’t hear.
It really sucks, but know that you are not alone. This semester, my advisor set me up with a “study buddy” because I was struggling a bit. The first time I met with her, we worked on a take-home exam because I just...
I always get personally offended when Wesley tells Liz Lemon “Your food obsession is not as endearing as you think it is.”
No visit to urgent care (or anywhere people ask me things, really) is complete without people telling me what statistics means to them. This doctor feels that it is “the psychological part of math…you know, taking data and putting it in terms that nobody understands.” Intriguing! Well…thanks for the Valium.
Today was a good day. I went to a seminar about internships at a biomedical research facility and successfully networked with TWO people who work there. There was only one awkward reference to Judaism and I was not the perpetrator.
I have a lead on a part time job that I’m not really qualified for but will apply for anyhow, and an unpaid research position. It’s not much, but it...
Some time ago, I “liked” Lady Gaga on Facebook, without realizing that it meant all her posts would pop up in my feed. Mildly annoying, but of course I’m too lazy to do anything about that, so she still appears from time to time.
Today she said “my video is leaking like an old tampon.”
I think I’ll keep her.
