You have to love those quoted adjectives in trailers.

"Terrific"
oops terrible?

"Stunning"
had a cataract surgery
"WONDERFUL!"
We were stoned.
"Masterful"
full of what?

"Spendid!"
you didn't!

"INTOXICATING"
say no more
"Charming!"
give it a rest already

"Captivating!!!"
drunk. no doubt

"Seductive"
so you have a crush on the actress

PS: wish there was a way to float words right. would have made it even more authentic. heh.

But those words are out of context anyways.... A writer writes and entire piece and then the ad people take one word and it could be about any part of the movies so ya gotta admit it is pretty wise and pretty smart of them to do it that way...

Whatever it takes.
Category: goals

That is going to be my philosophy this date onwards.

In the year ~~2000~~...
2012...

I will

Work all year in pomodoros and squash as many tomatoes as I can.

Publish. Publish. Publish

Master R and Perl.

Learn how to manipulate and code in Bioconductor

Analyze and publish on least one public dataset in genetics.

Transition into more genetics and bioinformatics.

Write more science. Make future-oriented useful notes.

Be more in contact with my family.

Be less confused, Be more mentally organized

Set priorities and stick with them regardless of what comes in between.

Reach a better place and work on feeling less guilty

Yeah, all of them are priorities. Equally important, without exceptions.

metalpeter - 01/01/12 10:35
Guess you put a space or extra enter in there.... Well I wish you luck with those...

Off.
Category: goals

My new deadline is December 31. I am dead serious about this and want to finish it once and for all. Even if lake Erie burst into flames right now and it was a grand public spectacle, I wouldn't want to go see it more than I want to finish my dissertation writing.

So I am taking off the internets and (e:strip) till the next year.

All of you, happy holidays and behave yourselves.

cheerio,
TP
