An Excellent Day

Today was truly an excellent day. First, I had my single-subject design class, which was both informative and entertaining. Dr. Wendy Williams truly is a marvelous professor, one who truly cares about her students and knows her stuff very well.

Then I went to see Daybreakers with 4 of my fellow experimental psych grad students and my roommates. Daybreakers was a very entertaining movie, and well worth the price of admission (I'll eventually put up a complete review over at Movie Posts Only).

After the movie, I went with two of my fellow grad students to The Tav, where we enjoyed a burger and a pint (and by the way, The Tav's burgers are AMAZING) and had some great discussions about psychology, our classes, fellow students, etc.

Finally, after leaving The Tav, I went over to another friend's house, where we hung out, watched TV, talked about stuff, and just chilled.

I haven't had such a social day in a long time. It was nice. And as if all this wasn't great enough, I get to see David Bazan play live in Seattle tomorrow! Just thought I'd share the joy.

I didn't bring my camera to document any of this day, unfortunately, so you'll just have to do with my ecstatic and exhausted face as I bid you goodnight.

The Goatee Diaries

This is... a goatee. Not to be confused with the mustache. It's been about three weeks. Meh.

The Goatee Diaries are now at an end. If you'd like further information on this topic, feel free to click on the above image for a higher resolution look at the fusion between blonde/brown/black curly hairs, freckles, and oily pores. But be warned: you may find yourself inescapably sucked into the vortex that is this hybrid of bad genes and bad grooming.

Heavy equipment operator, or graduate student?

Here yet again we see a minor tweak is all that is needed to transform a psychology graduate student into a heavy equipment operator:

The Mustache Diaries, Week 1, Day 3

The mustache's first day of classes.

I think the mustache helps me retain more information, as each hair follicle is a sort of "hard drive." Unfortunately these hard drives can only hold information that most of the general public would consider useless... a little known trade secret for those guys with mustaches who love to inform you of "cool" things:

The Mustache Diaries, Week 1

A new series here on theboringthings.com. A weekly video journal of my "quarter of Mustache" experiment. Will I have the willpower and lack of self-awareness to maintain the stache throughout the entire quarter? Will I be begging for the end of the quarter (March) by next week? Only time will tell. I will attempt to keep this series informative as well as entertaining.
