260301 » things to [r]etaliate against

not paying attention to | learning about the rayleigh quotient in "computational linear algebra and optimisation"

2.30pm

i finally got frontpage working last night. no longer will i have to rely on the ever super vic to put my entries up. being the clever little chooken i am, i figured out a way to use it without going through my shitehouse new uni firewall. the only problem is that when i copy the html into the biatch that is geocities, i lose code. thus, much cutting and pasting ensues. i hate html! there are almost as many symbols and dohickeys as there are in a pure maths subject!! *headache*

#30 people who don't think labcoats are sexy


nick and i had a conversation about lab coats this morning. i think lab coats are sexy, nick does not. i own one. i often like to parade around in it at uni with a black turtleneck sweater and black skirt underneath. so intellectual. i can't believe that a person can honestly say that a labcoat is not a turn on. doctors wear lab coats, and they are apparently sexy.

safety glasses and pocket protectors, however, are not sexy. i think it is the fact that items such as these are often associated with the seductive lab coat that detracts from the lab coat's allure.

my advice to budding young scientists is to have your safety glasses custom made. tortoise shell frames are particularly attractive. this will most certainly increase your capacity to look like a prospective nobel prize winner, and 'good sort' to boot.

10.20pm

i watched all of about half an hour of the oscars. i got to see angelina jolie present, i figured it was all downhill from there.

wtf is up with russel crowe's hair? he looks like a decidedly dodgy james dean try hard. not a good move, rusty.

my mum just came in and said she doesn't think steve martin will host the oscars again. he is being too offensive, and ridiculing too many people, apparently. i say good on him. people who are paid as much as they are to churn out mindless drivel - which the majority of it is - deserve to be brought down to earth every now and then. maybe they will actually have a reason to visit their therapist this week.
