Duck penises show "arms race" between sexes: study

Interesting. Humans don't have that and in fact women will actually self-lubricate even when they don't want the sex, supposedly to protect their body from damage.

Haven't seen Frank for a while. He was in the area so we went out for lunch at D&A Cafe. My garlic pork chop was nice, especially with the cream soup (all the food was creamy basically). The thing he ordered was unappetizing and we were both surprised when they let him change his order. He left a big tip for that (more than the cost of that original order). The 2nd thing he got was like mine except filet cod instead of pork chops with garlic.

Caught up a bit and talked about the baketball game from last Thursday, which was the CS department's pizza night (which was actually a pretty depressing experience, I think every time I went it's gotten worse)

Well it's definitely turning into summer. The afternoon sun just shines into my room, heating it up like a greenhouse (crappy blinds don't really help). So I end up opening the door to the backyard to let air through, but then bugs start flying in. Blah.

It is cold, and cloudy. And weather.com is still showing a 10 degree CELSIUS gap between current temperature and the temperature in the next hour, and has been doing so for the past couple hours. They even *increased* the high temperature by 2 degrees to 26 degrees celsius (current stated temperature is 14 degrees). I'm really not seeing that happening.

Accuweather.com at least, is showing a consistent 17 degrees current as well as max for today.

So there was this thing to recognize high GPA International Students by the International Students Services. Kinda sucked a little because they had a 4.0 GPA award which I didn't get because of that one class that nobody got an A in.

Other than that, history repeated itself again. I went alone, sat at a table alone, and by the end of it, everyone at the table was Taiwanese, the same situation as had happened during the orientation. Most of them were in the Teaching English as a Second Language program. One of the people at the table also brought her parents which meant I got asked all sorts of personal questions. Apparently they thought my Chinese sucked though 'cause the mother remarked by the end that I shouldn't forget the language and that I should hang around with more Taiwanese people. O_o I think it may be because I couldn't understand what they said a few times in the noise so I asked them to repeat the question a few times. But then again, my English IS better than my Chinese...

The food was blah. We were basically the last non-staff table to be called for food, and by that time, half the stuff was completely gone. It ended with some Egyptian belly dance thing. One of the graduate's daughter (toddler age) was extremely fascinated by the dancer and everyone had a good laugh.

Because my memory sucks so I need to remember what happened

Sunday - Parents arrived, Mother's day, flowers, then back home to study
Monday - Final, went to aunt's place after
Tuesday - Nothing very exciting I think
Wednesday - Back to SF to pack
Thursday - Graduation Mass, lonely (most of my more recent friends are not Christian), LONG walk to hotel/dinner. Hahn's Hibachi south of GGP is pretty nice.
Friday - Graduation, people came, whee, dinner at BFT, set table dinner for 5 + fried rice for 7 people = 3 boxes of leftover + soup
Saturday - Monterey Bay, aquarium, 17-mile drive, Carmel, houses with no number plates, tour driver dropped us off at Cupertino instead of Milpitas, ruining a nice day
Sunday - finished moving, got stuck by the Bay to Breakers crowd in SF. Red Lobster. Parents leave.
Monday - Aaron's graduation
Tuesday - I finally have a cell phone! (which means I'm one step closer to being just another faceless drone who's just like everyone else )
Wednesday (today) - Set up my computer on a makeshift table so now I'm blogging
