Daniel Sexsmith: Maker of Sex

Friday, October 17, 2003

Nothing much really happened today. I went to class and then went to work and then KATIE hung out in my room and we just chilled for a few hours (actually, she had a ton of work to do and my room = the ultimate work place). Okay, that's a lie, my room is the ultimate relaxing place, but work can still be done if you concentrate enough.

There was some funny dialogue between this (cute) girl at work and me though. Here is what our introduction was like:

Delta (who is essentially my boss): Amy, this is Daniel Herrera. HERRERA. Daniel Herrera. And Daniel, this is Amy. Well, it's pronounced Emi but everyone calls her Amy.
Emi: Just call me whatever you want.
Me: Okay Susan.
*laughs*

It was funny and I felt stupid but I've always wanted to do that. Emi totally wants me ;-)

Okay, she probably doesn't but that won't stop me from thinking she does! BOOYA.

Quick post because I'm tired and meant to do this earlier but didn't.

My first day at my new job was pretty fun actually. Everyone I work with is very nice and the atmosphere is nice as well. Someone had their money stolen during my first shift (double shifting it already! 9-12 and 2-5). Not a very good thing to happen the first day I'm there. But I wasn't even suspected and I saw a suspicious character right around the times it happened. So I got to talk to Debbie (the woman whose money was stolen) AND a DPS (department of public safety) officer for about an hour. It was like being a detective!

Oh man. Total hilarity in physics class today. Dr. Burke was on a roll. Here are some snippets:

Burke on Meetings: "I'm not having office hours from 2-3 today. I have a meeting to go to. Afterwards I'll probably smoke a cigarette and take a shot of brandy... err Coca-Cola."

Burke on why things are the way they are: "Many people have burned up their whole lives or even committed suicide trying to look up mother nature's skirt or father nature's trousers or whatever... You know if you mention one sex you gotta mention the other one or you'll immediately be labeled as a sexist. It's your generations fault!!! My generation was busy doing other stuff... like having sex."

Burke on the importance of math (Kira, you'll like this one): "Do any of you have the book of Tables, Products and Series? It's a useful book that has nearly every solution to every integral. You really should have one in your car in case you need to do some quick integration while trying to figure out how much your Big Mac will cost you."

Burke on Altoids: Kid is passing altoids to a friend "What are you doing? Oh, altoids. Wintergreen flavor? Give it to me. I'm confiscating it for the rest of the class. " *takes tin, eats five altoids* "I'm not supposed to eat sugar but these things are just so delicious." *thirty minutes later*
Kid: "Can I have my altoids back?"
Burke: "WHOA Charlie Brown I thought these were Alisons! *throws them across the room* "Did you know the Altoids people approached me? Do you know why?"
Kid: "Because you have bad breath."
Burke: "Well, that, and because of these." *points to deltoids* "Deltoids, altoids, i'm sure you can make the connection"

Burke on Toroids: "So first we draw a toroid."
Kid: "What's a toroid?"
Burke: "It's a doughnut. Anyway, now we wrap a wire around the periphery of the toroid."
Kid: "What's periphery?"
Burke: "The glaze on the doughnut. Not all doughnuts are toroids though. Watch out for those damn bear-claws. Not that I eat doughnuts. That kind of crap doesn't get into the temple" *strikes classic Discus Thrower pose*

Burke on Wheatgrass: "So I go into this health food juice place and order some wheatgrass. The lady gives me a single shot and I'm like 'No no no, I want at least five of those.' The lady says 'No one drinks that much wheat grass.' So I say 'Well I'm god damned John Wayne and I drink five of those. I'll pay you double what it costs if you want me to.' So she gives me the five shots of wheatgrass, I pound them down and then pound down a few glasses of water to get the taste out of my mouth. That was Thursday morning. Friday... Friday, Saturday and Sunday... OH MAN! Let's just say I lost a lot of weight."
Class: "Can we get back to physics now..."
Burke: "Don't worry. It was mostly water weight."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! So itchy! Holy crap. There must be a spider in my bed or something. I got bit on the toe, on the leg, on the arm, on my foot and on my stomach! AAAAAH ITCH!

I can't stand this. Maybe I'll go take a bath in acid? Who knows. What's the best way to get rid of an itch?
