piled higher and deeper...PhD...
well i am following my mom's favorite advice to me and the other david siblings: "go to bed early." (must be imagined/said with an indian accent)
considering that i went to bed around 4:30am yesterday that should be pretty easy to do now that its only about 2:20am. friday will be quite the busy day as damon and i are meeting for dinner with some of the other fish grad students (well, at least the cool ones...ok stop laughing). and then there is what has historically been a crazy halloween party thrown by some SNRE folks so that should be interesting...that and we'll be unveiling our costumes as well.
but i digress from the entry title (yes, my entry titles actually DO have to do with the entry subject matter, unlike my sister's. her mechanism is quite humorous, and i'll leave that as unique to her live journal instead of assimilating it into mine -seeing as i already use excerpts from her's when i feel lazy...and we all know that happens with some frequency). right, anyway, PHD: piled higher and deeper is a play on the good old Ph.D. terminology, and specifically refers to (in this case) a HILARIOUS comic site found here:
Piled Higher and Deeper
thanks to nick (one of kara's good friends, and i guess would be a friend of mine via transitive property and the fact that he visited the tank this past summer...and showed an interest in the fishes, which always ranks one higher than normal, haha) for posting the link to this comic strip. you should all be warned that unless you are in grad school yourself, or know someone who is in grad school very well, the jokes may not seem to be as funny. either way, i highly recommend checking it out; the "what is the thesis" episodes are particularly funny and loosely based on the matrix. keep in mind these are highly effective time wasters, so be sure to read the comics when you have papers due, deadlines to meet, or any other sort of real, actual work.
that's all for now, halloweekend starts tomorrow so be ready for some craziness and hopefully some entertaining pictures! good night <:><
p.s. - we watched the first 'saw' tonight and it was nice to see that hal, AJ, and janine all jumped at least twice over the course of the movie, AND the squeaky tricycle scene is still freaking hilarious. the saw II outing will be sunday...should be interesting to see how the sequel stands up.

here is a shot of one of the walls in my room in my old apartment, as you can see, i don't like bare walls by any means. my room at our new place is pretty bare right now and i hope to (someday) get the time to put up more posters/pictures/etc.
