Ugh. Having an unreliable internet connection at home makes for poor posting. That combined with being ridiculously busy at work and not being able to post at the office equals a lack of blogging.
Apologies.

Comments now available. You have to fill out a form and do the word verification thing, but I put it up. We'll see how it goes for a week or two and if it's just sad I'll disable it again and you can keep reaching me on BookFace.
Also added ellisinwonderland, give it a click. From first look, he's into...cameras...watches...and girls that are either really kawaii or are from Claymore. Oh and I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say he probably likes working out.
Weekend. Check back on Monday.

New linkage. I really enjoy this week's collection:
Adventure Time is a short animation that appeared on the tube by Pendleton Ward. He's got a full contract to do a bunch of other animations, but his sense of humor is hilarious and his art gifted. He reminds me of a moving version of Perry Bible Fellowship. If you like his work, check out his other shorts on YouTube, "Barrista" and "Bravest Warriors".
Have Another Coffee is basically the story of my life and my addiction to liquid crack.
I've really been feeling Metric's Fantasies album after Sij told me to get it. Turns out that the Metric concert I turned down that was at the Shaw late last year actually had them performing some of their new tunes. I posted Gold Guns Girls last week, and this is the acoustic version, which is a lot more haunting, but interesting nonetheless.
Multitasking musician features this girl making use of her many talents. She's got some sort of drum machine (Miyuru would probably be able to tell you what it is), a primitive synth, a keyboard, her hands, and her voice. It's probably too much to be doing, but I think she pulls it off pretty well.
The last is Samantha James' Rise, which I found just roaming on videos on YouTube. Super chill song, it actually made me stop work for a moment just to kind of tune out. Shades of Telepopmusik's Just Breathe.
Enjoy!

Posting for me will be rather sparse for the next few days due to an upcoming midterm that's so large that its penis makes the Great Wall of China look like a ruler. I'm not making good progress with it either, because our prof is making us memorize every single DSM-IV classification that accompanies a mood disorder (major depressive, dysthymia, bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia) including modifiers, specifiers, epidemiology, treatments, and exclusion criteria. I don't like mood disorders to begin with, so this makes me actually want to have a major depressive episode myself.
I have new linkage as I promised every Monday. I think it's decent, but I suppose it's up to you to decide whether you agree. I'm trying to make medical conditions a recurring theme (I think I try to do that throughout all my posts, whether it's effective or not, I don't know), so let's check them out:
Asia's poem The Waiting Hour was something I came across when I was in my Def Poetry Jam phase. I still kind of am (remind me to show you guys The Beach next week) actually. It's about testicular cancer, and my favourite part of the poem "playing Russian roulette with α-feto protein levels and tumor markers" really defines what the human body is like fighting pathology. Continuing with medical themes, Man in the Box (which is actually one of my favourite YouTube subscriptions) features Greg with paruresis. Actually Woody halfway mentions about a kid who couldn't take a shit just anywhere - I knew a kid somewhere I used to work with that actually had to leave being on shift (leaving me alone by myself to fend for customers for 15 minutes) so that he could drive home and do a deuce. Weird.
The next has nothing to do with biology, but is just a mind-blowing cover I came across of Outkast's Hey Ya. The ONN clip is just really funny.
I think my favorite this week is Bobby Hundred's Pat vs. Oranges I. I had mentioned in an earlier post about disorders that we can get earlier in our years - 13% of people will get a specific phobia in their lifetime, most people around 7 years. The general case is fear of: situational > natural disaster > blood injection > animal > other. I'm not really sure what category Pat's falls under...maybe just plain bizarre?
