Totally Bald.
I am more convinced than ever that we need to keep going, work harder and think out of the box in our battle against this wretched disease. We don't have any time or space for cynicism. My department's reaction amazes me. All of them, without an exception, went out of their way to make my bald nutty head feel appreciated and warm. They are a unique family.
I ran into the charming (e:enknot) in the cafeteria when I went searching for (e:libertad). Tony, who on earth is Andrew Reed and how do you know him? More importantly, what is he doing on the tables of our cafeteria? He is not even a first-page hit on Google Images: He is clearly not one of these: Or is he? Do you have a deep dark obsession with the British church, state, police and sport, that no one had an inkling about... till right this moment!??
(e:libertad), I am now so curious about your office! I am going to gatecrash someday. You work in a mysterious building that is just marked by a direction - not even a name! And no guests are allowed?! Why, my office is always crawling with guests and other random people!

We are creatures of carbon.
We evolved through our carbon interactions.
We migrated lead by our carbon needs.
We reproduced guided by our carbon culture.
We engineered our carbon environments.
We sheared the fabric of our lives with carbon based hostilities.
We continue to interact and change our carbon dynamics.
To carbon we all shall return.

Organic milk - hating it!
This milk tastes like it came directly from the cow or buffalo or whatever bovine they were milking. I know some of you are smirking and saying. "It's milk. What else did you expect?".
Let me tell you, I did not expect the farmyard cow/bovine smell. It completely throws my milk drinking experience. It taints my coffee and makes tea unbearable with its heavy heavy cow-ish/bovine odour. My tongue is now coated with the same odour and I can feel it slowly creeping up my sinuses. Ugh. Ugh. UGH.
I am DONE with this Organic Amish milk business. I am going back to fat-free mass-produced possibly hormone tainted neutral-smelling milk. I think I will deal with the devil and trade a little undue cell proliferation for the urge to throw up everytime I drink my favourite black tea with milk.
Maybe boiling will do away with the smell? What do you think?

China = Italy = Information Oligarchy
How do people vote in these autocrats?
Italy may be one of Europe's favourite tourist destinations, but I bet very few scientists would actually want to live there. How close-minded and disturbing is this latest news?! Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Pastele Paper Vs. Parchment Paper
Someone had put a produce sticker on the roll of paper so that it was priced by the pound, had an expiration date and had directions for refrigeration. I thought it was curious, and was carrying it around to ask someone what it was.
However, in a moment of absent-mindedness at the checkout queue, I forgot about how weird it was and bought it before I remembered I didn't know what it was. Does anyone know what it is, though? Can it serve as a Parchment paper substitute? Or is it just wax paper in disguise? Should I return it?
Chowhound has a thread on Pasteles - apparently they are a Puerto Rican specialty comfort food. But it doesn't tell me if the paper is inflammable in the oven.
Anyone have a clue about the combustion physics of Pastele paper?

Mr. Deadlier to the rescue.
The straw that broke the frustrated camel's back could well have been the Inter-Library loan request form that refused to submit.
BUT, like all crazily structured bewildering films with indescribably happy endings, an (e:strip) peep came to the rescue and ironed a long-standing 8-month annoyance out.
It is time for an especially loud round of applause for (e:mrdeadlier) :-)

Thank you, Pricerite.
My fridge was completely empty and depressed-looking half an hour back and now I have extremely fresh, large and juicy tomatoes.
For 89c a pound without the pain of waiting for a bus in the cold, without owning a car and without planning the trip for an hour. This is what a perfect daily grocery-shopping experience should feel like. Thank you!
PS: They have more Latin American produce and stuff than any other major grocery. I do wish they had more Chinese greens though. I guess they must have done some intense market research and decided that west and east Buffalo would be their most prominent clientele.

Update on the Going Bald Experiment
I am experiencing a warm fuzzy feeling despite the treachery of deviant Lake Erie which seems to have unfrozen again.
PS: Apparently, they won't shave my head to the bone and will leave a smattering of hair. I am going to request that they really shave it all off. I have got my department paying for my most expensive hair-cut ever so it better be technically perfect.

Erie freezes over: No more snow?
Hopefully, there will be a lot less (or no more) snow for the rest of the month. *Rubs hands* Hee Hee.

Search on. and yawn.
And the Super-Originals.
Hah, you believed that?
What *really* happened...
Or maybe starting an international mess was not really your cup of tea...

Hehe, I didn't have THE peterazzi around! ;-)
I can arrange to have you come take a peak while I'm on lunch tomorrow. We are directly above the morgue so if you can get to the morgue we are just one story up which is better than 6ft under? I guess you will have to wait and see...
