What if we had a long-weekend trip to Joshua Tree National Park Over December Break?

Wouldn't that be fun?



Eh??



Ehhh???

Nothing Interesting

Wow, pretty stark image here.  Nicole's video makes me realize I need more color in my life!  Maybe I'll buy a cactus too!

Intro song's a bit loud, consider yourselves warned.

Re-Introducing Nicole!

A Walk in the Rain

Almost a blog post

Hi, guys.

Thanks for posting, Rich.  I would like to start posting, too.  But for this week, I'll just link you to a daily blog that I decided to do for my food class.  Maybe after this week I can come back and talk about real life.

Besitos,
Rachael

Senior year!

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to life.  I hope yours is good.  Mine is in this video.

The password is still TeMyDeWa, not that you could have forgotten that.

Here's the link to the system I'm working in, not that I expect that to be interesting to anyone.  My protein (PinX1) is a part of that system that is extremely minimally studied (in fact, it's not even listed in that wikipedia article).  Neat!

Nancy's Adventure

It's been a while since anyone posted here.  I just wrote some directions for Delara who will be visiting Berkeley this weekend.  I joked that they would be the best directions ever, and so I tried to live up to my words.  I enjoy writing stuff like this where I have a prompt of sorts and just have fun with it.  It's hard to come up with fun prompts like "directions for a friend" on my own so these rarely happen, but like I said they are fun to write.  Enjoy!

There Are Many Paths To Tread

I am 1.

As you could probably guess, it's crunch time.  I assume all of you are probably plagued with the end-of-the-semester what-you're-not-only-taking-my-class insane workload that all of your professors assign. Well I am no exception.  I've been busily working away the past couple weeks and I'm far from done. "Jason, how do you have spare time for a blog?" You may, but probably aren't, asking yourself.  "What exactly is spare time?"  "Is not all time spare time?" "What is time?"  The answer probably exists in some combination of those not so helpful metaphysical follow-up questions.

Hope that you, too, are alive.

Hello everyone.  As I am sure is true for you, I am incredibly busy today and for the foreseeable future.  I'm literally writing this exclusively to assure you that I have not gone gently into that good night.  No time for a regular post--keep surviving!

Not Twenty-One

Hello everyone, sorry about the missed post last week.  It was Spring Break!

I failed to focus the camera correctly on this one--if the autofocus was better I'd use it, but I swear it's not.  I should probably spend more time on setup for these, but #YOLO.

Have a wonderful week.

Well, I'm 21 now.

My birthday was on Wednesday, and I started a tradition of sorts last year which involves sharing my small obsessions and thoughts with you all.  Because if there's a time for self indulgence, it is one's birthday, is it not?

Qualified

Hello friends.  I made a dumb new video for you to watch.  Enjoy it, or not.

March, I love you, but you're bringing me down.

I know, I know. I haven't posted for a while. Or maybe you haven't noticed. Either way, I'm here to stop this nonsense and give you a run-down of my life. Spoiler Alert: there has been very little change.

Wow a video wow.

I have officially run out of other ways to procrastinate.

But isn't my blanket coming along nicely?!

Sick

Hey guys, posting today because I'm mad sick and haven't been able to the past two weeks and won't be able to this week.  This camera angle's the worst yet, and I haven't shaved in like a week and a half, so feel free to just listen and not look at this one.  Love you all, keep on keepin' on.

The Ring Goes South

Back in the US(SR)

Low res view of the quad. Snow.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything substantive here, and I’m sorry.  But Read more » and then you'll be all caught up.

February Break, Lost Traction and Radiators

Today Erika and I dropped Grace off at the bus station in Portland so she could get to Vermont for a few days. It started to snow just before Erika and I started to drive back to Bates. I had Erika drive because I had never driven in snow...well she hadn't either but was a more experienced driver. Our Prius lost traction in the snow three times, within 5 minutes of each other, all only 2 miles from school. We first almost ran into a stopped car in front of us, and then almost glided into oncoming traffic, and then almost hit a car that was driving forward as we were turning left but couldn't stop. Luckily Erika utilized snow drifts to stop our car. I was intensely impressed with her accident-avoidance skills. I would have probably got us killed. 

Starting your Valentine's Day Right

I was going to send this to Derek, but I bet you'll all appreciate it.

More to come later, promise.

I just lost a pint of blood.

HAHAHA BECAUSE I DONATED BLOOD TODAY.

Oh Shoot

It's all about capture

and display

the way I see it

If take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.

Our Friends, the Creationists

Ready to reinstate your belief that we live in the GREATEST, SMARTEST, BESTEST country (???they're/their/there???) is?!

She has a point, their.

So cold...

My heater's broken.  <3 <3

SNOWWWWW DAYYYYY

So today a large storm hit and it snowed the entire day. Because of this I've been neglecting most of my duties and my work for the day. So I have a lot of reading to do that's due tomorrow and I've started it very late in the night so I cannot create an entire blog post tonight.  I will, however, update it tomorrow so that I can fully explain to you what wonderful things are going on in my life. Also fun fact I'm using the microphone dictation tool on the iPhone keyboard to write this message out. 我想你们都奇妙。Oh my God I can do it in Chinese too this is amazing. Okay goodnight you gorgeous popsicles!

Splenomegaly

I have an hour before my club meeting so I will try to cram all that has happened in my life lately into this blog post in that short span.  Wish me luck.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,

It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way . . .

Welcome back, amigos.

Lauren, my wonderful Spain friend, came to Capitol Hill with us.

Alright, kids.  I haven’t been holding up my responsibilities, and let’s be real: you’re all looking to the martyr to lead the way.  Well, here I am.  I’ve missed you all.

PRO(fessional)CRASTINATOR

Hey gang,

These past two weeks have been pretty normal. Nothing of extreme note has happened. I've been chillin in the Maine winter, being a student, having friends, eating food, respecting my roommates, videotaping them smashing a guitar in our home,  whatever.

New Sound, Same Look

Hello everyone!  I have added passwords to all of the TeMyDeWa videos.  All of the passwords are, you guessed it, TeMyDeWa.

Currently Living the Zero Degrees (Fahrenheit? Kelvin? Who Knows!?) Life Here

Hey kids,

It's the first Wednesday since classes have started and I am oddly tired despite the average workload. I blame it on all of my classes being between 8 am and 10:50 in the morning and then a night class from 7:30 to 10:30 pm, but who are we kidding the real culprit here is the new Sherlock episodes and American Horror Story.

2014

Long time, no "force you to read incessant chatter about my life and experiences", pals!
