More thought-spam, but at least it is behind a cut!

Since some of you posted that you were disappointed that I was outsourcing some of my more random thoughts to twitter, here's a smattering of some random LuxThoughts:

A bit of RoyEd Smut for Binary Alchemist's Birthday.

I own neither FullMetal Alchemist, nor any of the illustrations used in this video... I'm just an editor with bad taste in techno covers. The music used is "Burn it Down (Linkin Park Dubstep Remix)" by Daniel Cain 4

All kinds of sweetness

1-Under the headline of "It's Lavi tested, and Kanda approved!"

For those who love D.Greyman *and* IHOP, today they are giving away free shortstacks. No word yet on bean sprouts.

2-Under the headline of " Is that an M4 Carbine or do you really miss me?"

Returning US Marines get lei-d in Hawaii. But seriously, folks... why do I have to read a UK tabloid to see this adorable picture? Regardless of your own sexual compass, if you don't say "awww" when you see this picture, you need get yourself checked out for a heartbeat.

More Valentine's Day Spam, when I should be working

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:51:09 GMT

This has become so addicting! I've started a series of "Rejected FMA Valentines" in video format.

All of them are still in (very) rough draft stage, but they will be available the week of the 14th for you to send to your less than loved ones.

However, I need a help with a caption for my latest one, shown below. PLEASE share any ideas you have, and you will be credited :)

So far, I can only come up with

"I hope the rest of your Valentine's Day is less awkward than this"

So much for my new years resolution to think before I say something.

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:48:52 GMT

These are some of the cringe-worthy things I've actually said out loud in January:

1- It's the path of least resistance, kind of like going home with the slutty chick at the end of the night. (Yikes--this was while talking about a scientific phenomena)

2- Charisma will only get you so far, look at David Koresh.

3- The first amendment may protect my right to free speech, but it doesn't protect my right to tenure.

4- Just because your name is on it doesn't mean it belongs to you.

So embarrassed

As a person who subscribes to the philosophy of "Why use a 4 letter word when you can use a perfectly good 9 letter one instead?" I have a declaration:

February is now curse word awareness month. Show you care, support your favorite guttural phase: Curse early, curse often.

or as I have personally coined it...

"Fuck You February"

Silicone Conundrum: An Update

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:38:49 GMT

For those of you that have been playing the home version of "LuxFail the game" you may remember my post where I accidentally ordered lab supplies that I will never ever need.

Well my friends, I have turned this into a LuxWin! I am trading the 50L of Polydimethylsiloxane to a microfluidics lab three floors up from me in exchange for a used plotter!

I have access to several types of large format printers, but I don't have one exclusively at my disposal. I've got this complex hang-up about misusing resources for my own recreational use, so I'm planning on personally buying a roll of paper for fun projects.

Okay fic writers... how the hell do you write anything that is silly *and* sexy without bursting out in laughter?!?!

I'm struggling to keep my composure while I'm writing right now, but the best I can manage is the world's most naughty smirk. If I start laughing, I'm never going to get anything done.

Also... how do you get someone to help beta your writing?

Things that Lux should be banned from doing #3

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:02:49 GMT

#3 I should not be allowed to make end-of-year laboratory supply orders.

I'm always distracted and in a rush to finish many other things. I'll likely make mistake like reversing inventory numbers. Yet again, I made a mistake. Today, some of the packages arrived.

Now what the heck am I supposed to do with an entire case of lab-grade silicone (Polydimethylsiloxane) lubricant??!?!!?

Wow, my newest video is more popular than I expected. In the first 24 hours, Combustion has gotten more than 2x the number of views than my last two videos did on their first day. Maybe it's because we are all looking for a bit of excitement in boring January?

In other news, tonight is the premier of the new FMA movie and I've already preordered tickets for tonight. I know it isn't quite Lunar New Year, but should I wear my new Obi? Here's a swatch of the fabrics:

I've also be having a nagging jaw/headache for the past couple of days... any ideas on how to make that clear up for tonight?

Things that Lux should be banned from doing #2

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:23:21 GMT

#2 I shouldn't be allowed to talk to the parents of my students. Ever.

LuxQ: Hi Mrs. LMN. I received a message that you wanted to speak to me about LMN's final grade in my class. I'm afraid that LMN is 20 years old and doesn't need his mother to call about grades

LMN's Mom: .... but you can't do this to him. How will he get into grad school!?!?

LuxQ: I'm afraid that LMN did this to himself. He was, um... distracted, during the few lectures he attended and failed all three exams.

LMN's Mom: Why didn't you seek him out for extra help? How is he supposed to have a future career?

LuxQ: LMN never turned his assignments in-- how was I to know he didn't understand the material? ...and quite frankly, he's a big boy and can ask for help on his own. However, from what I can determine during class LMN has a very promising career in playing Angry Birds!

Things that Lux should be banned from doing #1

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:28:49 GMT

#1 I shouldn't be aloud to talk to anyone while on RX cough syrup.

I start saying things that seem absolutely hilarious to me, but make no sense to anyone else. Case-in-point from this morning, a conversation with my spouse.

------
Mr. Q: Anything you want to do tonight?

LuxQ: So tonight I think Im going to watch a bunch of Hetalia episodes

Mr. Q: Is it any good?

LuxQ: Oh yes. Germany is our dog's favorite character. I personally like Denmark, he's so witty!

Mr. Q: Sounds like a great way to spend a cold rainy night.

[Lux's note: I've never seen Hetalia and have no idea if there is a character called Denmark and if so, what his sense of humor is like. Our dog has never reacted to any anime whatsoever, including dog noises]

A window into the worklife conversations LuxQ

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:30:36 GMT

Earlier this month...

Co-worker: So how are you adjusting to Boston?

Lux: So far, I'm not especially fond of the town.

Co-worker: (dreamily) One of things I love about Boston is that sometimes I wander around the city and pretend I'm in Paris.

Lux: Um.. Have you ever even BEEN to Paris? I have, multiple times. The only thing about this place that remotely looks like Paris are the underground tunnels from the BigDig.
