Science. Girls. Beer. Miles Davis.
B.I.Tc.H., a UCI chemistry grad student and contributor to Nice Shoes, Wanna Fock? mentions in an offhanded manner the label for her homebrew:
It's like hitting the awesomeness trifecta and having beer thrown in as a bonus. I'm speechless.
(I know, you thought this blog was dead. But I promised to stop posting about booze on TBND, and I had been hoping to resurrect this anyway.)

Thanks Todd!!

Yeah, don't go thanking him before you count how many people actually read this blog.
Oh, and what's wrong with tbnd becoming a boozeblog?

That's OK, nobody reads ours either. I'm surprised you found it.
And for the record, if this were a boozeblog, I'd definitely make it a daily read.

That's the best label I've seen in a while. (Count me in, Tony). If it were around me now, I'd drink it. Though, that generally doesn't mean much, as Todd seems to be experiencing with his one-track mind. :-P

Yeah, I found Focking Science and TDC while looking for blogs by UCI graduate students. It's surprising that NS,WF doesn't have a following, though, given:
1) NS,WF is like TDC with girls and a patriot.
2) TDC is a top-50 science blog.
3) Girls and patriots make everything better.

Hmmm, I had no idea that UCI grad students were so popular.
I don't know about girls and patiots...I'm more of the opinion that beer makes everything better, but that's just me.

I can't really speak to UCI grad students' popularity in general. But I had just returned my letter of intent and was looking for as much information about the culture as possible.
Speaking of which, you wouldn't happen to know anyone who wants to share an apartment with two laid back science students, would you?

So you're moving to Irvine? It's quite the exciting place, I hope you're fully prepared. Which department will you be in? I assume Comp. Eng. or ICS based on perusing the rest of your blog...
Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone looking for roommates, but I'm pretty sure all incoming first-years are now guaranteed on-campus housing.
Posted by: B.I.Tc.H. at July 17, 2006 7:34 PM
Yeah, ICS.
We are guaranteed housing, but I intend to live with my girlfriend, so that's making things a bit more interesting.

I think you can live on-campus if you're domestic partners, although I'm not sure how much paperwork that entails.
Posted by: B.I.Tc.H. at July 18, 2006 1:05 PM
Yeah. Though everything I've read seems to indicate that, to get such a partnership, you have to be either 1) a same-sex couple or 2) over 65.
We also thought about getting a one-bedroom in VDC, under just one of our names, but we have had bad experiences with that sort of arrangement in the past.
Anyway, I think that we have forfeitted our right to guaranteed housing by not signing a lease already. Yay.
