Trying to imagine a brain naked has not helped me any.

This is an unintentionally nerdy post related to studying. Feel free to skip this one, unless you happen to want to know about the revelation I had at midnight the night before I am to take my first exam in my neuroanatomy course.
As noted yesterday, I’m not what you’d consider a “model” student. I’ve been [...]

Out of my mind, be back in five.

Whenever I have to study anything intense, it never fails that I find that, suddenly, I have on hand two million things that are considerably more fascinating. And pressing. Pressing to the point that I must do said things right now, otherwise I’ll totally forget about them.
I have a test in my neuroanatomy class coming [...]

In the spirit of not writing about how much homework I’ve had to do, and studying I’ve had to do, I’ve decided to pick a decidedly awesome and heated topic to write about: Clay Gay-kin!
Let me start by saying I am not a fan of Clay Aiken. For no other reason than I’ve never really [...]

I’m pretty sure none of them was wearing a bra, either.

There’s nothing that tests one’s manliness quite like a trip to everyone’s favorite boobtastic restaurant, Hooters. That fabulous Halifaxian Haligonian, Ben, recently posted about his first experience there, so I figured, why not add another gay story to the Hooters book? Why not, indeed.
Many moons ago, I was not the super openly gay man I [...]

On the plus side, I DID get to buy a tea kettle that’s spotted like a cow.

I was so pumped to write a new post about how excited I am that I bought a couch. But then, after steam cleaning it Sunday afternoon and then doing mad homework and study Sunday evening, it occurred to me that I didn’t feel so hot. Not feeling hot to the point that by the [...]

I prefer to think of it as “extreme yoga.”

I really didn’t need it, but I now have super awesome closure from my many months of living with the vile swamp creature that is my former roommate. As we last stood, we had spoken on the phone and she had informed me that, because she’s the quintessential bitch, she was keeping $150 from my [...]

The next person who says “what happened to you” will be bitch-slapped by my crutch.*

You know that saying “things will get worse before they get better”? I’ve got blisters on my wrists and chafed-turned-bruised underarms to prove that that’s true. And all because my stupid foot stupidly decided to start bleeding because of some stupid piece of glass, or maybe because of some stupid splinter, but really the stupidest [...]

Here’s a quick list of things I don’t like (otherwise known as “Reasons # 38, 94, and 205 why Phil is currently disgruntled):

People telling me “I don’t know” when I present them with a problem
Not realizing until after the fact that there are I things I should be doing to advocate for myself better.
Shots.

Last night, [...]

Your food makes me want to exercise my Orbicularis oris.

1.) In this world of buzz words and graduate school, there are so many ways one can feel a sense of accomplishment. For instance, tonight in my epic-length voice disorders class, I managed to not only keep an attentive ear to the lecture1; in addition, I totally kicked ass and completely organized my laptop. That’s [...]

Bringing new meaning to the Can-Can

Phil | September 13, 2008

There’s one thing about my new place I’ve neglected to mention as of yet: my bathroom. While the rest of the place has taken time to get used to, the bathroom takes far less time to gain such familiarity. Upon my official move-in, I noticed that my toilet seemed to be fairly unstable. I learned [...]
