Dinosaurs for Boys!

I was watching The Late Show with David Leatherman few minutes ago. There was a lady guest who introduced some new toys for kids. There was a new $350 dinosaur with 40 sensor all over its body to react to touch. Dave asked the lady if she bought that toy for her kids. The toy lady answer him: "No. I have girl."

I didn't know till 10 minutes ago that dinosaurs are for boys!

Lovely DavisWiki

We will move to Davis by end of the August this year. I was in DavisWiki, searching for various places; from grocery stores to Thai food restaurants. I found a page called cheap food and then the categories from $.01 to $.99 and up.
It was so funny when the page suggests some bagel's shot which sell bagel for half a dollar and then Wiki says "Take some olives from the deli area too."

I like DavisWiki. It is really student friendly.

PS: I can not enter the link in Safari. I have to ask my webmaster.
You may find DavisWiki here: www.daviswiki.org

Pain

I have this horrible, horrible back ache from Monday morning- when i woke up. It got worse today. I sat all day in my bed and finish, almost finish, my research project for a class. "Changing Family in Iranian Urban Life" is/ was my research project. It was not that hard and it was only 8 pages, but doing that in ASA format was something else. I don't understand why scholars are not come with one single format: MLA, APA, ASA,,,just get one and don't kill students.

Nicole text me today that Thursday is Lex birthday. I am totally broke, but I have to get something for her. I have to go to mall, not only for her gift, but getting something for a conference I will attend this weekend in Berkeley. It's about women in Iran. Some bullshit again, but I will go and see some friends, may be get drunk or smoke. Who knows?

This pain is killing me. I have to come back to my article and finish it. If I finish this one, I only have a 200 pages book left to read and write a review about. Writing part is not that bad, reading is killing me.

I had a big bowel of salad for my lunch again and still hungry. Thanks to the dark coffee I had in the morning, I am still awake. If I finish this paper,...never mind.
