PPT

Whenever I make a powerpoint presentation, I make sure that the title of every slide is in some way a double entendre, a pun, or otherwise humorous.  Sometimes people laugh, sometimes I just end up laughing and people shake their heads.  For example, the presentation I am doing tomorrow about the coevolution of ants and acacia trees is entitled “Ants in my Plants”.

As much as I love writing a “blog-style paper” on the coevolution between ants and acacia trees, why does it have to be this weekend?!  I mean, it’s intereststing and all, but I would rather be playing with my dog or eating copious amounts of food.  Or doing other awesome things that I do when I come home to the ‘ville.

After coding my DNA a couple weeks ago, I cross referenced it with the Cambridge Reference Sequence to determine that I am a part of Haplogroup K.  This lineage is thought to have arisen about 50,000 years ago in what is now central Europe. Famous K members include Katie Couric and Stephen Colbert.

Neon Indian- Terminally Chill

This is the beginning of Proteus, which I recently bought.  It is a visually stunning and pretty interesting documentary.  19th century drawings of microscopic organisms are brought to life.  It’s neat.

Cid’s Theme- FFVII

I’ve started doing this thing where I take all of the vegetables/beans that I have and put them in a pot and add a little water and boil it until the water is gone and then eating it.  This seems easier/more delicious than following a recipe for “stew”.  mm.
