One of the co-authors of “Half the Sky” was on Colbert last night.  I consider this book the most important book of the year, or maybe the next few.  Please read it!

Lake Folk Variations
Courtesy of Brian. LAME Folk, for when we won’t do an encore. Lake JOKE, for general suckiness of show. LATE Folk, for when we arrive late to a gig. Lake COKE, for when Bryan OD’s during a set. FAKE Folk, for when we are caught lip syncing.

Big Baby Bryan: Oh speaking of sluts, I figured out why Ella makes weird noises at night sometimes.
Me: Why?
Big Baby Bryan: She's got a little boyfriend.
Me: Nuh UH. Who?!
Big Baby Bryan: There's a giant tomcat.
Me: Oh my god, that little whore!
Big Baby Bryan: He was just staring at them last night. There was hissing and growling to start, then Ella made her slut noises. They were restless all night, all hot and bothered. Billie too.

Michigan students must enroll in mandatory biker’s ed. You know, while we’re at it walker’s ed wouldn’t hurt.

Billie and Ella must have had a fight because they’ve been avoiding each other all day.

She makes me dress up as Art Garfunkel and have sex with her. She calls it Gardunkeling.

One of my secret (used to be, anyway) guilty pleasures is to watch make-up tutorials on YouTube because I love really tacky make-up and I like watching people apply it.  Anywho, I was at it again tonight and I stumbled upon this chap who is a professional make-up artist and he’s actually got great advice and nice looks.  So, check him out, folks.

Following Chad Ocho Cinco on Twitter may be one of the best decisions I will make today.

I'm baaaack.
We got back to Michigan on Wednesday night and made it into Ann Arbor just in time to see our kickball team lose their second game.  I think we’re going to need a training montage before next week so that we can really step it up. I’ve posted my San Francisco and Palo Alto pictures up on my Picasa site if ya’lls are interested.  I put captions on a lot of them so that I could...

Probably bought her an iPod
Me: Do you think that if Serena gets first place and Venus gets second that Serena has to buy Venus a really nice Christmas present?
Bryan: ...I don't even know how to answer that. It's like a question a four-year-old would ask.
Me: But...I think about these things all the time.

All the women who independent!
I’m liking the conference pretty well so far. I guess my only real complaint is that it isn’t quite as computational or statistical as I would like. Today there was an amazing talk from a guy who is building a computational model of a bacterium which incorporates processes from everywhere in the cell. He’s my hero at the moment. I’m pretty disappointed by the number of...
