I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

So... I live just outside westwood and I'm gonna be moving even closer to UCLA soon for gradschool. I've been working on heart disease, anthrax, smallpox and HIV studies (among others) for about the last two years and I don't see any break in the future. Not that I mind. Had my first two potential drug discoveries recently so I'm pretty happy and just waiting to see if they get me some money. Other than that, I'm pretty happy living in my nerd world and only getting out occasionally for some fresh, non-lab air.

My Interests

Movies, music, partying, driving too fast, whatever research project I have going on (microbio), risking my ass,

I'd like to meet:

Anyone as weird as I am is always welcome.

Jeff Buckley, Cibo Matto, Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps, Beck, Portishead, old strange 80's stuff, Coyote Shivers, Dead Kennedys, BT, White Stripes, Fisher, Moby, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Lovage, Storm and her dirty mouth, Bob Marley, Go Soundtrack

Movies:

Clockwork Orange, Go, Laurel Canyon, Blade Runner (and most others by PKD), Currently Playing: Kolya

Television:

Don't watch much TV... but Futurama, Family Guy, Old Third Watch and a few others still get my interest

VA

Yup, I'm back in VA for a little bit. I'll be missing all the fun times in LA, but at least I have a chance of getting some money while I'm out here, which is cool (but right now kinda unlikely that ...

O death how you're treatin' me, you've closed my eyes so I can't see

Over the last two weeks my grandfather in Morocco and the mother of one of my friends both died. Along with that, two of my friends got engaged, one got pregnant (and everyone thought it was ectopic ...

Nothing like boredom to get me to do some posting on here. It's almost 9 and I'm still stuck in the lab. At least I get to listen to my own music instead of the right-wingnut talk radio of the guy I...
