"Manly yes, but Beavis likes it too." [May. 3rd, 2008|08:15 pm]
Finals were last week, today was graduation, which gave me the chance to wear my pimped-out professor robes.

The wind-down of the semester has allowed me to do a little non-physics reading.

News from my town: Keeping it in the family [May. 2nd, 2008|11:39 am]
[music |Mind Riot, Soundgarden]

Brothers accuse dad of incest (pops)

What I appreciate the most is that our local paper doesn't correct people's grammer in their quotes:

"Ross LeBaron is a very sick man, and somethin' needs to be done about him," said Debby Burns, Elend LeBaron's aunt.
...
"There's many allegations and many bias, but they're jumpin' to conclusions, and it's their ulterior motives that cause them to do their course," Wayne LeBaron said.


Apparently the letter "g" is forbidden in Rush Lake. Bangin' your daughter? A'ight.
