My leg muscles hurt from playing tennis ! (well, the version of tennis that Nick and I made up yesterday).

OW!
Whatever, I am not in the field, only married to someone who works in it. If it were too very sciencey, he would not be involved. I guess I don't know the finer distinctions between science and geekery.

I thought you were doing an MFA, Mr. Que?

Motherfucker. They were just interveiwing some guy on the radio (not sure who, I missed the introduction) but he was saying that this Edens construction could result in travel times of 5-6(!!!) hours from Lake Cook into the city and back out. Holy fuck.

basically, in the olden days, people used to concoct complicated formulas, and from these formulas rose the modern library system. the library of congress is actually kind of a laboratory, with bubbling beakers and foam coming out of the windows from all of the science experiments taking place within its hallowed halls of science.
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, science can be broadly defined as "a department of systemized knowledge as an object of study." Like when you say "I've got it down to a science." So I think that's all library science is.

omg does my elaborate system of celebrity beauty categorization make me a scientist?
― horseshoe, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link
you are a scientist if you seek to understand you
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link
^^^I like this!
I am doing an MA, not an MFA, on a very slow part time basis, and I also work in a library but I don't have an MLS. My job title includes the word "librarian" though.

My bad, Que, I thought you were a FIKSHUN writer.

We are scientists We do genetics We leave religion To the psychos and fanatics
But we are tired We got nothing to believe in We are lost Go tell the women that we’re leaving

(pssst, jaymc, I is a FIKSHUN writa. it's just that my program offers an MA instead of an MFA. . .so my degree will be in fiction, but will have two letters instead of three.)
― Mr. Que, Monday, 17 September 2007 20:29 (sixteen years ago) link
You will need science to add that third letter.

exactly.

WHAT DID I JUST DO??
I have a pretty awful data-tabulating project going on. Made most awful by the fact that now I have to organize it in such a way that it makes sense to attorneys at another firm.

Anyway, I am going to the Container Store again soon. I will finally tackle a certain problem I've been having. (not the cat problems)

I really wish I could just go to the Container Store tonight. I don't want to go drinking.
― Jesse, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
You don't have to drink, y'know. Just get a soda.

she makes a fine point.

That's absurd.

What I would do: eat a big meal, order a couple rounds of water before anything else, then go easy on the beer.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I am going to try really hard not to get drunk tonight at trivia (have to get up super early tomorrow, for one). I'm thinking a two beer limit.

goddamn slimy carrots

i just bit into a carrot and it was totally mushy and gross on the inside
i ptouied it into the trash

I hate that, I hate it when that happens.

fucking gross carrots
Speaking of trivia, I'm having dinner with my mom tomorrow. Next week at the Globe instead?
― jaymc, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:22 (sixteen years ago) link
hm. weird. I was just informed that tomorrow I will be aiding with a PowerPoint presentation in front of 500 lawyers. Time to shine the ol' shoes and put on a tie. Seems like a last-minute thing to tell me, though.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Next week sounds fine for trivia.

It's not just the drinking, it's the going out. I don't wanna! I just wanna be home b/c I'm going to be working at the restaurant the next 3 nights and I REALLY want to go to the Cont Store.

guys science is just the scientific method, really. so, when someone has something down to a "science," it's not because it's an organized system of knowledge, per se, it's because they have, through trial and error, come to some conclusions about the way things work.
― river wolf, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 02:11 (sixteen years ago) link
^^^^ okay that was insufferable.
i am bored at home.

What? Insufferable or not, that definition touches on most of those points except 5, and 3a-b are really close?

Dan, what scientific discipline would you go to grad school for?
