Cambridge common

Im here drinking a Opa Opa Ipa in this bar. It's actually quite nice. Good food and good beer. Maybe I'll come here again some other day.

Giving up on the gym

I'm not going to try to join this gym no longer. It is frustrating. People here in the lab do not put this as priority (obviously) and the people at the Marino center (gym) couldn't care less. I'll see if I find another place to go.

Boston Symphony Orchestra

Since I'm going to rest a bit tomorrow, I'm going to the BSO concert tomorrow (Saturday). It was a bit expensive even for the cheapest ticket but I don't intend to be there all the time. I had to pay $47 for the ticket. The BSO is said to be one of the best in the USA. The program will include Mozart and Handel. I'll post tomorrow about the experience.

Joe vs CNN

Very nice from Rick Sanchez to take on Joe the assh...  Here is the youtube video. Joe is now a war correspondent. Can you believe this? We'll just have to wait and see what happens to Joe the "war correspondent". 

Professor?

I'm reading Carl Sagan's Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. What a book!!! If you'd like to learn more about critical thinking, you must get it. Funny is that he talks about people that don't do anything but love to call themselves "professor". He talks about a guy that bought a telescope placed on his backyard and became a sensation because he called himself professor and has claimed to be in contact with Aliens. 

What is even funnier is that I have one of these in my life now. The landlord of my house is "professor". It's amazing, he teaches guitar on the back of the house and decided that he is a professor and that his shed on the back is a college of music. Can you believe this?! My brain has a problem understanding this type of attitude, maybe it is because I am a college professor (a real one I hope) and get no joy of the title. Titles is giving based on accomplishments, right? And they are supposed to be self-satisfying not really something you freely publicize. I learned now that there must be something wrong with a person when he/she answers the cell phone: "Hello, this is Prof. A...". Eraldo and I already knew one guy at FIT who does this but at least he is a professor. My landlord is far from being one.

I miss Kalil

Obviously I miss everyone but I'm working now with my iPod and some guy just played No Surprised on the piano... let me check his name... Christopher O'Riley. And I just had that felling that I really miss waking up with Kalil playing the Piano. I miss him... :(  BTW Kalil keep playing!!!
