Why I don't like Amazon anymore.
I got an email from e:enknot today morning. He is getting Amazon prime membership. He wants 5 more folks to join so that costs could be lower for everyone for the same kind of benefits. Sounds pretty good, but I am unfo…

Ear Bleeds?
Have any of you had non-trauma-related ear bleeds before? I had some minor bleeding yesterday from my right ear. I am a bit concerned. It did happen immediately after I turned up the volume on my headphones to drown out…

Neutral Samaritan?

Question for e:lilho
I have *really* thick hair that outgrows a cut in less than 2 weeks but I am not ready for that salon pilgrimage just yet. Do you have any recommendations for the type of thinning shears I should get? There seem to many…

Bethesda - Safe at 11:00 PM?
I will be visiting the NIH/NCI campus in Bethesda in some days. But the trouble is I will be getting into the Washington, IAD airport around 10:00. I hate taxis. They freak me out. So I plan to take the metro to the cam…

Tourism is overrated...
when there is a bucketload of work hanging on your head. I recently visited with my brother in NYC (he is a brand new New Yorker). In the past, whenever my brother and/or I have been to the city, there was never enough …

We really don't have an excuse.
My advisor sent out the latest CDC statistics on obesity to our group today. This is not just true for the US. It's true for countries around the planet. In India, children who are 13 years old have myocardial infarctio…

China = Italy = Information Oligarchy
I can't believe how similar they are. One has a paranoid stuffy government who monitors any anti-political comments like a hawk. The other has a prime minister who owns every traditional broadcast media in the country a…

Christmas Presents
What odd/crazy things are people getting for other people this holiday? I am asking because I need to put together a collection of odd/crazy things for someone and a standard gift-basket seems like a boring thing to do.…

"Visiting with family" =/= "Vacation"
"Visiting with family" is definitely not equivalent to a "Vacation". I was over the moon thinking about the vacation, was stressed out completely during the "vacation", but nevertheless didn't want to come back and felt…

Is Buffalo turning into Ireland?
I spent some time at the CEPA gallery in Market Arcade last evening and I was struck by this exhibit. http://www.cepagallery.org/exhibitions/Conversation_Pieces/index.html It takes me back to the time when that ignorant…

The obsession with sugar
The Taste of Buffalo festival has a stall giving out samples of Fruit Simple - a fruit smoothie mix with no preservatives and no sugar. I like the idea of not adding sugar and high fructose corn syrup to just about ever…

The island poll
This is something I was chatting to e:Jim about in the chat-space. (Notice how I say "to e:Jim". Yeah, I wasn't really sure if he was chatting back.) Anyhow, the poll is about "holding on" to "stuff" in your life and th…

Soldier's Girl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjfzVqIU6XM Hatred - the single word that defines people who cannot see point of views other than their own. I am not sure why we are still in a society that makes sections of people fight…

How many of you believe that...
cancer has not been "cured" because researchers and clinicians are just making too much money out of it to destroy what is virtually a cash-cow? Today morning, at a discussion seminar, I had this very disturbing thought…

This is in relation to e:Joshua's comments on e:libertad,47072 journal. I took the e:drew route and posted this instead because my initial comment sort of became tough to shorten. :) e:joshua: I am not convinced about t…

"Certified Loon" or Rational Human Being
Half an hour back, I had no idea who Cindy Sheehan was. I now think she is an awesome and spirited woman with the energy and guts to pursue her ideals and convictions. How many among us -- obscure civilians, with no "po…

Single.. er.. Double Issue Voting
I feel like I should take a stance today, now that I feel conflicted about the shaky economic policies of not only the right, central and left winged but also, the wingless scum in politics. If I had franchise (I don't,…

I have to admit that I am confused. I have been confused since Clinton got impeached. If your neighbour is quiet and non-intrusive, you don't care if he is cheating on his wife and doing "injustice" to his kids. You min…
