I was at a local clinic yesterday and I overheard the following

"I ate a burger from McDonalds for lunch yesterday. A Mexican made my food and I think I might have the swine flu."

There is this feel in the air about Mexicans as carriers of disease that is making me feel a little paranoid.

Court, DMV, and Grassy Fields

I had to go to court the other day in Moreno Valley to take care of a speeding ticket. The court was in a strip mall/office park. I have never seen the likes and it felt like beurocratic hell having to stand in this massive line in the rain. wonder what court houses will look like a few decades from now. Perhaps they will in Walmart were we can shop while we wait to be dealt with.




The next day I went to the DMV and saw this guy wearing the best shirt ever. Afterwards, I was so happy to have been done with all of this madness that I went to go frolick around in some grassy fields by the box spring mountains in Riverside.

Gargoyle Josh

I'm watching the person who is watching students take their organic chemistry exams.

I saw this guy walking by the chemistry dept. the other day. Reminds me of this one blog post on tattoos with chemistry themes I came across a while back.

I saw this guy walking past the Science Library the other day.

The longest column ever

An analytical lab on the floor below me was showing me their long ass column that they use to separate heparin. Most columns I have seen (and use) are about a foot long. Nevermind ten feet.

Me: How do you guys wash this when you are done?
Some dude: Very carefully.

People and Their Shirts III

Spotted exiting the engineering building.

Pink Series & People and Their Shirts I

I was riding my bike down University Ave and I passed by this guy. I asked him if I can take a picture of him and he said yes. That is a real fig leaf.

Molecular Hats

I had to proctor an organic chemistry exam the other day. As I was making it through the 200+ crowd of students trying to get into the auditorium, I saw a student wearing a hat of a molecule she made from a molecular modeling kit for good luck. Here she is holding a highly caffinated drink ready to go.
