I’ve been cooking on my own for the past couple years, and I can honestly say that I’ve gotten the hang of a lot of it. I know how to do some things really well, and I’m getting pretty quick about putting my dishes together, so that my average meal, with an entree and two…

We Win Again!
Last night was our third win in softball. I don’t know how many times we’ve lost, but that’s not important. What is important is that we’ve gotten a lot better as a team and we’re happy with ourselves, and last night was our chance to prove it. In our first game of softball we got…
I created a monster
Necessity is the mother of invention, and I was in serious need of food. My problem, though, was that I had hot dog buns but no hot dogs, and hamburger but no hamburger buns. May god have mercy on my soul for what transpired in my kitchen today at lunch, for what I bred was…
Meringues
Meringues are hard but really soft cookies, like solidified marshmallows. The most appealing part of them is the texture. They only require 4 ingredients that you probably already have. 4 egg whites (WHITES ONLY. ANY yolk will prevent the whites from whipping. Be very careful) pinch of salt 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup powdered…
I didn’t die!!!
Today I can cross another thing of my list of things to do before death. Fortunately, it’s not a thing that I did RIGHT before death. It was awesome. I really can’t believe I let myself jump out of the plane. I was surprised I did it. The landing wasn’t perfect, but it I’m alive…
In case I die…
Don’t touch my stuff. It’s booby trapped. I’m kidding. Nothing is booby trapped, and I hope those in charge of taking care of my estate will give it to those who need it. I will be skydiving tomorrow morning. Yes, I will be resisting a natural urge bred for millions of years and firmly ingrained…
Rrrrrr!!!
I had a softball game today, and some interesting things happened that are worth noting. First, it was raining. It wasn’t enough to put us off, and it was just enough to keep us cool. In all, the rain was pleasant, though it did make handling the ball a little interesting. Second, I was wearing…
I have no mouse!
The batteries died on my mouse, and I have no more double AAs in the apartment. The odd thing is that it’s not really slowing me down much. Sure, you realize how annoying web sites are when you try to navigate, but other than that, it’s not so bad. Next I think I’ll try taking…
Vegas
This weekend I went to Las Vegas for the first time. The following is my account of the experience, in as close to chronological order as possible. Thursday, 6/22/06 I left work a few hours early to go over to Carolyn’s lab. She was putting samples through an X-ray crystallography machine, and I got to…
I feel like an old man when I move
These weeks of activity are taking their toll on my body. As I take stock of my parts, I realize that there are more that hurt than don’t. There’s the left ankle, which I believe may be sprained from bad cleats and twisting. I have remnants of a blood blister on a right toe. My…
