Good Day Sunday. Random standing in line fraternization at Einstein's with a Brazilian girl who was convinced that eyes are the gateway to the soul. She told me that she could tell that I was a kind and gentle person by looking there. Well, If I have to take a big-guy cliche, I'd certainly prefer to fall in to the gentle giant (rather than the rampaging man-child, hulking dolt or savage bully). We chatted for a bit, and got along famously. She has a 7-year old son and is going to be getting two kitties after they move next weekend. I advised her to make 'em indoor kitties, because of the city. Serena is a short (5'2ish?), slightly built gal with angular but very attractive features. Very thick, long brown hair (Just about to the tailbone) with a slight wave to it, makes mine look short in comparison. Big Brown Eyes. Lunchtime conversation was quite nice, and I gave her my number. She mentioned that once she gets a land-line that she might need help getting on the internet (especially in getting mp3s and burning music) with her laptop and I offered to be of service. She doesn't smoke, only drinks in moderation, and knew that it was the first day of Spring. No visible tattoos, wore a crucifix on a thin gold chain and small gold stud earrings, Didn't know it was Palm Sunday and had never heard of Passion Sunday, doesn't eat bacon (or any kind of pork... she had a chicken and some sort of veggies on a sesame seed bagel, with orange juice). Her major at university was communications, and now works in public relations.
wow, that was weirdly written. mental fragments ripped from my head a little at a time. The majority of those factoids were drawn out with basic conversation.
Not a huge fan of Conan, but the Walker:Texas Ranger clips kill me. BEAR TRAP! PUNCH!
Random Scotto Factoid: It's my belief that homeopathy is another word for placebo. Which is to say that it can work for people sometimes... the power of suggestion is a strong one. But I think the theory of super-dilution is a bit off. To the best of my knowledge, no homeopathic remedy has ever been shown to work in a large randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Moment of Lyric:
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

collection of photos... of "Cameras Prohibited" signs.
Walkabout pics -
A bit of Wasp-y Graffiti... black crayon? On the Bridge.
Super glare as a side effect of keeping the shutter open long enough to see the boats on the river.
The Singing fountain... all of the green St. Patty's water has been flushed out, and it's just clear save for the lights. Music Playing was Sinatra - New York, New York.
Random Medical Term Generator.
I got - rhemish
Of or pertaining to Rheimis, or Reima, in France. Rhemish Testament, the English version of the new Testament used by Roman Catholics. See Douay Bible.
Hmm.. not too medical. Let's try again.
Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy
(technique) Electron energy loss spectroscopy analyzes the inelastically scattered electrons present in the beam after it has been transmitted through the sample. An electron energy loss spectrum typically consists of a monatomic decreasing background on which are superimposed a number of peaks. Each peak is characteristic of the scattering process that has occurred in the sample. The peaks can be used to obtain information about the chemical composition and electronic structure of the sample. Electron energy loss spectra are acquired typically in a magnetic sector spectrometer located under the camera chamber of the transmission electron microscope. Spatial resolution is typically limited by the minimum probe diameter of the microscope. Electron energy loss spectroscopy tends to be complimentary to EDS in that it can be used to analyze very thin samples of low Z materials.
Acronym: PEELS
That's better.

Date: 2005-03-21 12:54 pm (UTC)Thanks, but I rather think that she started it! :) Hmm.. you know, I don't think I've ever used the phrase "macked on a girl" before. Always nice to sit and talk with a pretty girl over lunch!
Word to my homies!

Wow, I had to edit that sentence a lot. My spelling is wicked bad this morning. I think I'll just meditate at work today (sleep).
Serena is lucky to have run into you. I hope to read more posts regarding this. :)

Date: 2005-03-21 02:58 pm (UTC)Have a lovely paid nap today!
Thanks for the kind words... I hope to write more posts regarding this, too!

Those shrimp look mean & I don't like how they can't be polite when eating other shrimp. I don't like them enough to call 'em Shrimpies.
That photo of the bayou/canal brings back Florida thoughts-o-rama ...because it looks just like so many other spots in Florida.

Hee.. I guess it's just a question of luck! I looked at the list again, and was surprised how much "the recorder" was on! **huggos right back**

Date: 2005-03-21 04:05 pm (UTC)I should show you the other pictures I took.. it was like Oz's emerald city.. just a huge glow-spot with some random building parts sticking out.

Date: 2005-03-21 05:14 pm (UTC)I seem to remember that, in The Wizard of Oz, the Emerald City was only green because everyone had to wear green glasses. They left that part out of the movie as well as Wicked. Is my memory correct? I read that book when I was a kid...
*runs off to buy some green glasses*

Date: 2005-03-22 03:13 am (UTC)I don't disbelieve in homeopothy, merely in the story that is told about "why" or "how" it works. However, I can say the same thing about the concept of a placebo. I'm not doubting that they have their effect, but I don't buy the story that says how they work.
When I have any number of ills, my wife gives me the pills that I don't believe the text for, and they seem to have an effect that works.
I think it's interesting.
