Pieh's Doppelgänger Online

Sorry for two posts in a row, but I was really weirded out by this.

Am I crazy, or does this guy look exactly like Pieh?

HEY GUESS WHAT, KIDS?

A.SCIUTO has landed. He is in the SHOWER right now. Reasons why you should be jealous:

- he went food shopping while I was at work today and then made curry noodles with chicken and red peppers for us for dinner

- we watch an episode of dexter together each night before we go to sleep

- he sleeps on a mattress in my room

- he is wearing an ALL-STARS T-SHIRT RIGHT NOW

- he is ALEX SCIUTO.

we love and miss you all.

I'm Here: A Blog Post

West Coast, baby! It's fucking freezing. No, really. Today was nice, I put on shorts but that was seriously pushing it. I bought long underwear today. LONG UNDERWEAR. It's summer, wtf?

But it's really quite lovely. Last night the ladies and I went on a loong walk, across the bridge, down the bayfront where there are MANY orca murals, back across and 1.5 miles to the jetty and the beach to watch the moonrise. Pretty nice ladies all around. YOU might even like a couple of em. Can you believe it?

That's the bridge!

The research center (located on MARINE SCIENCE DRIVE yes I live on MARINE SCIENCE DRIVE)
across the bay from.. any other civilization (except for the rogue brewery..)

There is science EVERYWHERE here. No, really. This is actual science and it's scaring me. I can't bullshit my way out of this one. MARINE SCIENCE DRIVE.

I started my research training today. Woke up at five to meet my mentor (who is the best mentor of them all, although he doesn't have the best style of them all NOR a mustache) and we headed out to Yaquina Head, about 10 miles from the science center. We climbed to the top of the lighthouse, looked down, and saw around 80,000 birds sitting on 2 big rocks in the ocean. Common Murres. They look like penguins.


My job for the summer? To account for the productivity (eggs, hatchlings, deaths, fledglings, etc) of around 120 specific nests. They are not marked. I identify the birds by location relative to geologic features on the rocks. And then I take pictures of the birds with fish in their mouths in order to identify the fish. And then I cut open dead bodies that wash up on shore to check out stomach contents.

Standing up there today I was freezing and overwhelmed but I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. How in the hell did I pull this off?

I got a new bike today for a birthday! A road bike. I flew around town and it was heaven.

An email forwarded from my mom...

...because I asked her to... because I thought it was really cute.

BROLERT: This is the least bro-esque post in a while, maybe ever, so, heads up. Don't keep reading if you think the brog has balls.

For some reason I feel like this post is just for Anne and Erika for their love of cute animals and babies, respectively.

Last comment: I would've emailed this to the Cute Animals list... if it existed... which it should.

ATTENTION ALL DOGS!!!

THE FOLLOWING ARE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVERY DOG TO KNOW

Instructions for properly hugging a baby.

1. First, spy a baby:


2. Second, be sure that the object you spied was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques.

If you smell baby powder and the wonderful aroma of wet diapers this is indeed a baby.


3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process.


**Note: The added slobber should help in future steps by making the "paw slide" easier.

4. The "paw slide"
Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.


5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute the difficult and patented "hug, smile, and lean" so as to achieve the best photo quality.


Xoxoxo!

Texas Tea Time

Has anyone ever seen the MTV show "America's Best Dance Crew"? It shouldn't surprise you that I'm no dance fanatic. But lately, whenever I'm channel-surfing and I flip to this show, I'll always take a moment to check it out. 

I was watching it this evening thinking it was a repeat of the first season, which aired during spring break, but then I saw a dance crew I had never seen before: Houston's Distorted X. I guess they're in the midst of the second season. This is really the only picture of the group I could find, off the MTV website. Unfortunately, it really doesn't do justice to how hot these girls are, and how rad it is to watch them boogie down. Highly recc'd to mah bros, especially those of us who won't be getting any ass anytime soon. Word.

New Jersey's as boring as it should be, but I start my job tomorrow which will hopefully add a jolt to the summer. Downed my first from-tap brew here in New Jersey last night with some high school bros -- finally!

Another check on the to-do list: I finally got around to listening to the second half of the Clash's London Calling, which for some reason I've always put off. Good stuff. I also had my 12-year-old brother Sam make me a Lil Wayne playlist, which I've been enjoying the hell out of, along with Tha Carter 3. Tom, I think your comps could highly improve by studying Lil Wayne's use of simile and metaphor. "I'm rare like Mr. Clean with hair"? You can't teach that shit. He also compares being fucked on drank to being a turtle: "I'm like a turtle when I sip the purple"; "I'm on that syrup on that turtle time." I love it.
