Happy New Semester!

Spring Semester of this year 2010 starts tomorrow here at Stony Brook. I am registered for Advanced QFT (once more!) and the usual seminar courses! That’s enough about Physics on this blog!

Now, spacetime for some of the tidbits I’ve been thinking about in the past few weeks for this post:

Some oxymorons from Sketchbook:

Childish Asakura-Sensei? Grow up!!!

Ignorant Ao? Are you okay???

It is sad that no one is going to appreciate the above compilation! Anyway, this is enough writing for today for almost no (⇒0) readers out there! So finally,

Caravan has passed!
