Someday I Too Shall Have a Garden

Posted by Jules - April 20, 2008 at 02:04:58 pm

I miss having a sunny backyard. These are various fresh herbs that I harvested from mike’s parental’s herb garden. It’d be nice if I had the sun and the space for a nice garden patch. Oh well, maybe in 6 years time. In the meantime, I shall make do with pilfered herbs. Bwahahaha… I’ve already made some rosemary-oregano dinner rolls, but there’s still so much left! I wonder what I should make next?

jules mood: Punching down dough is fun. It’s amazing how yeast cause the dough to double in size. Grow yeasties, grow!

When You Take Abbreviations Too Far

Posted by Jules - April 3, 2008 at 12:04:29 pm

We have to read a lot of papers for class. You can tell when they write them without keeping the general reader in mind. The only people who could read through that quickly are the people who work in that area. Is it really necessary to tell us the exact vector construct they created in the figure caption? With everything abbreviated so that we have to keep referring to other parts of the text? I don’t think so.

Jules and I signed up for the gym at Cal and have been going fairly regularly. I’ve been trying to go with Jordan every weekday. Jules has been trying to go three times a week. I haven’t really gone to the gym regularly since high school. I don’t think I’d go if Jules and Jordan didn’t go with me. It’s good to have people go with you and push you. I think I need to set some goals though and keep better track of what I’m doing as far as weights go. Right now I just do whatever until I’m tired. And I haven’t noticed any improvement on the soccer field yet. But soon! Oh yes… soooon.

As far as soccer goes, we’re 1-3 now. We won the game on Sunday 3-2 off a PK from an iffy call. A few minutes later they had a chance to equalize but I fouled the guy in the box. He had already beaten two defenders and was lining up for a shot. I was going for the ball… I swear. So they got a PK too, but missed off the crossbar. Booyah.

PS. Wordpress 2.5 looks pretty on the backend now. For the most part anyway.
