    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;1. So I'm washing my hands in the bathroom during work, and this Japanese guy walks in brushing his teeth as if it were the most natural thing in the world to be doing in a public restroom. Then, instead of going to the sink to spit out toothpaste or something, he walks directly over to a urinal, and takes a leak, all without removing the toothbrush from his mouth. &lt;strong&gt;Gross.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Another strange experience from today: I was walking back from lunch, and I hear a man shouting loudly through his cellphone at either his long term girlfriend or wife. At least, shouting through what I assumed was his cellphone. When I look back, the man is screaming rudely at his outstretched hand. Not wanting to stand in front of this guy, I drop back far enough to observe a smiley face drawn onto his palm with a marker. And of course, he was wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates cap. &lt;strong&gt;Freak.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Take three: I walk from my car to the lab every day, and pass a building that has a low concrete wall around it with periodic slits, making it vaguely reminiscent of crenellation. Today as I walk past, a squirrel leaps through one of the gaps from outside my field of vision, and then uses my foot as a launching pad to a nearby tree, causing me to emit a startled noise which I will refrain from attempting to reproduce here. All of this is observed by a group of girls appearently in town for a Penn State volleyball camp. I carefully arch a single eyebrow in their direction and continue my walk, as dignified as ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. I'm sure everyone else on the planet has already noticed this and is now laughing at me,&amp;nbsp;but: "Uno, dos, tres, catorce." WTF, where did U2 learn to count?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. "Firstly, these have got to go."&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "But, Justin, those are so coooool."&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Then you can have them; you too."&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Um..."&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Now don't tell me I never gave you anything."&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "It's just like Christmas in here!"&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"Yeah, let's draw&amp;nbsp;the Nativity in the sand."&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;So the plans have been more or less set, and I will be leaving this wretched state friday morning, and leaving for Brant Rock, MA where I will spend the next four weeks swimming, beach going, sailing, sleeping until 2:00 pm, ice cream eating, lobster devouring, junk fantasy reading, AP paper writing, howling at four in the morning, going to see way too many bad summer movies, Monopoly Golf Edition playing, xbox pwning, HBO watching, rock jumping, and various other nefarious activities which I am too lazy to currently list. Oh, and for the first summer, I'll be driving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=10+Cove+Street,+Brant+Rock,+MA&amp;amp;ll=42.078377,-70.643549&amp;amp;spn=0.005361,0.007318&amp;amp;t=k&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;Satellite picture of the neighborhood that looks like it was taken during a drought.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After that it's a week in a castle in Scotland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back here with you suckers August 23ish. I won't be on IM much, if at all, but you can still contact me through email (&lt;a href="mailto:cannibalguppy@hotmail.com"&gt;cannibalguppy@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;), or phone, if you're slightly more daring and also extremely bored (most of you have the number&amp;nbsp;and I'm not posting&amp;nbsp;it on the net).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.clarkson.edu/camp/acs/docs/Session%208%20-%20Elimelech.pdf"&gt; Check the authors on the first topic--because I'm just that cool.&lt;/a&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
