Worst Movie Ever

I've always been curious about how editors made those notes in the margins of my papers. So it was neat to learn that today. Everything in class went well, I feel like I've got a good handle on it. Really I just need to do some good work on my revision this week.

This is a really hard question, there have been so many bad movies. Well, the worst movie that I've seen recently is Bridge to Tarabithia. I really didn't like that one at all, at times so cheesy it made me sick, at other times so sad it was stupid.

Issue, Point, Discussion

The majority of the literature on the Virgin Limestone focuses on what can be learned about the end-Permian mass extinction from the structures found within it.  While such literature is not directly related to the intent of this paper, their observations and collected data are valuable to determining the hydrocarbon production potential of the Virgin Limestone.  From these works (Baud, 2007; Pruss, 2005; Poborksi, 1954) we collect observations on composition, thickness and lateral extent of the Virgin Limestone, as well as data on the surrounding formations, all of these are important when considering a possible hydrocarbon source rock.

Okay, so I've never been the most computer savvy person in the room, but I think I can figure out how to finish my website/portfolio thing. It's good that I'm finally learning all this. I'm just trying to finish my paper proposal for Friday, that's the one looming ominously over my head. Oh, by the way, my interview with ExxonMobil last week went well. I mean, they didn't throw bundles of money at me or anything, but it was a positive experience.

When I was young(er) I made very detailed plans for the space station I was going to build and put into orbit. I took it all very seriously and swore my friends to secrecy concerning the matter.

Curry

You know... I was playing Pictionary the other day and my word was "hypertext." It would have gone a lot better had I actually known at the time what it meant. So now I do, how nice. I'm fairly confident I can figure out the web page thing... we'll see.

As for food, I'm crazy about curry, I think Thai is my favorite.

Super Power

Thanks for the help on my resume... if I land a sweet job with Exxon I owe it all to you! And why would I hate you?!? If you had written something like... "I think you are a morally bad person, you're ugly and you smell bad," then perhaps I wouldn't have been thrilled. As it is, however, I found your comments very useful.

Now I just have to do the interview... don't panic!

The super power question is very important... you can learn a lot about a personality this way. Frankly, I can't imagine anything being more fun than flying.

Power Tools

Believe it or not, today was good. Honestly, I never heard of Refworks or Endnote before. I've been doing it the hard way too... it builds your character! However, I haven't got nearly as many references as you. I'm also anticipating valuable pointers on my resume.

I need to narrow down the scope of my topic. I'm looking at the magmatic history of the Alta Stock, mostly because I'm most familiar with that kind of system. Though, perhaps it's a good time for me to explore something different?

A tool, eh? Let's say a jig saw... they're cool... like me.

Dream Vacation

Today was helpful. I'll admit I'm really not sure what to do for my topic right now, there are a lot of subjects on the suggestions list that I don't know anything about. However, I did find my old 210 notes, so that was encouraging. I'm sure I'll work it out.

I've always wanted to travel to China. My dad's been an admirer of Chinese art for as long as I can remember, I'm sure he'd love to go sometime. During the Olympics I decided that we needed to go, so I called him on the phone and said, "Guess what? We're going to China!" He took it pretty well.
