From my Physics book. Am I a bad person? Noooooooo…. …..  …..No.





Indiana Jones and the Keeper of the Clitoris

10 05 2005

It’s sad what I can find to procrastinate with. Now I have to comment on the female reproductive tract.

In going through my supplementary notes for anatomy, I found a couple lines that I found funny: “Females have an erectile organ that is homologous to the penis. What is the organ called and where is it located?” I remember our lecturer, a woman, made a point to cover this objective. I’m sure about half the guys in the lecture were thinking “Ohhhhhhhh! Finally! Now I know!” Or maybe I just think that guys don’t know where the clitoris is because of South Park…

Also, I think it’s really cool how homologous the external genitalia of men and women are. They start as the same structure emryologically, then differentiate at about 8 weeks after conception. The glans of that structure becomes the glans (tip) of the penis in men and the clitoris in women. The prepuce, or foreskin, of men is the clitoral hood of women. The ventral (bottom) side of the penis in men is homologous to the vagina in women. I’ve also heard that the clitoris has significant length which isn’t visible as it’s recessed in the vagina.

Yeah. So I guess I’m a little of an anatomy nerd in addition to a bug nerd.





Reader Polls

10 05 2005

And by reader polls I mean, I will poll my one reader.

First, what is your favorite bed time book?

Mine:
Where the Wild Things Are and Goodnight Moon
Also, I like The Giving Tree, Animalia and anything Dr. Seuss, particularly Green Eggs and Ham and The Month of Octember (because of all the cool shit you can get in that one glorious month)

Next and last, I’m thinking of a piercing, something which likely wouldn’t past graduation, if that, since I’ll be applying to dental schools soon.

There are two options here. I’d either want a lip ring or a nose ring. I’m thinking lip, but I’m not really sure. This is my last time to be a pierced, brooding youth! Help me out… oral, nasal or none?





Check out my new webpage!

Here it is: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/crarnett/LSC530/Website/index.html

Give me any feedback you want. Don’t think I did this all myself. I
used a free CSS template and edited the code with my limited knowledge
of dreamweaver and html. Also, check out my slowly growing portfolio
and tell me what you think of what I’ve done so far.





Lyrics

9 05 2005

I spoke with a friend online today about lyrics, and now I’ve been listening intently to my music for lyrics I like. I’ve decided to post a couple excerpts to avoid studying physics and anatomy. In the process, I’ve noticed that some lyric site are horribly transcribed and are set up for the sole purpose of adspace.

For one final word before the lyrics, I just have to comment on the LOAD of songs that the Neptunes produce. You’ve probably heard their stuff by just about every pop artist out there. It’s always their catchiest songs, too. They produced Gwen Stefani’s entire album, Toxic, Big Pimpin’ (I think) and lots of Snoop Dogg stuff. Also, if you see Pharrell in a video, they probably had a hand in producing the song. Definitely my idols as far as music production goes.

And now for something completely different:

Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Canvas and traces it
Fills in the spaces
He turns off the slides, and it doesn’t look right
Yeah, and all of these bastards
Have taken his place
He’s forgotten but not yet gone
And I’m sorry, Mr. Jones
And I’m sorry, Mr. Jones
And I’m sorry, Mr. Jones
It’s time

Fred Jones Pt. 2 – Ben Folds

And he said some got pencils and some got guns
Some know how to stand and some of them run
We don’t get along, but we sing the same song
Party for the fight to write, and write on

Party for the Fight to Write – Atmosphere

There were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven.

Hole to Heaven – Jack Johnson

Let Go

Drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
‘Cause it’s all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you’re writing a tragedy
These mishaps
Your bubble-wrap
When you’ve no idea what you’ll like.

Let Go – Frou Frou – (Discovered by me on the Garden State soundtrack, WELL worth the money!)

When you are flying around and around the world
And I’m lying alonely
I know there’s something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only.

You’ve got a secret smile, and you use it only for me.

Secret Smile – Semisonic





Columnist

7 05 2005

In case anyone was wondering about whether or not I’m a Cardinal columnist, I’m not. The spots are probably more highly sought after than editor-in-chief. Anyways, I release I’m not at the creative level I’d like to be. MORE WRITING!





More life

3 05 2005

Once again I should be studying for chem. Now I’ve gotten a shock. My mom went to the hospital this morning with chest pain. She definitely didn’t have a heart attack, and her tests came back fairly normal. Still, they don’t know what’s up. She’s fine now, but it’s scary. My aunt had a heart attack a month and a half ago, and she’s one of the most healthy members of my family. Ugh.





Holy Fucking Shit…. this time I’m scared…

2 05 2005

So apparently the world is coming to an end. There’s a new strain of malaria with a 100% mortality rate. It kills victims within 2 days of infection, then restarts their hearts. When they “come back to life”, they’re brain damaged and full of new chemicals that make them act violently. This sounds like 28 Days Later. Sweet Tapdancing JC. Fuck the Marburg Virus. If Cambodia or someone else does harness this as a biological weapon, we’re fucked. I just hope it’s a hoax, because I’m not sure what I’d do if I ever saw something like this.

Among other things:

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Nine Iron of Equanimity. What’s yours?

Time Traveller Convention: an interesting concept

I got pretty damn buzzed with my physics TA during “lab” today. He gave us all A’s and we went to the Memorial Union for beer. Mmmmmm… Bass Ale… thanks Josh.

Did you figure it out yet?
