So…what happened to Cheshire?

So…if you’ve been following this blog, you’ve probably noticed a distinct lack of posts. I wrote about this two posts ago, but I figured I’d share some details. For the past year, I’ve been trying to get into a graduate school. My grades are excellent-I’m one of the top in my class…it’s been a solid [...]

ICP’s still around? WTF?

Insane Clown Posse was a group that was wildly popular when I was in 8th grade or so (well over a decade ago, now). They were mostly popular because it was something our parents hated. Their songs were full of drug refrences, cursing and all manner of evil like that. They were kind of my [...]

My Review of Alice in Wonderland

I went to see Alice in Wonderland last night, and although I liked the movie I kind of felt underwhelmed. More below the fold.

Cheshire’s Top 5 Entomology Videos

I post a lot of videos here on this blog because I find them a very useful and interesting teaching tool. Why explain the life cycle of a parasitoid wasp in two or three boring paragraphs when I can simply hop over to youtube and find a video explaining the same thing narrated by David [...]

Cheap hotels…another great thing about college life

So over here in Iowa, we had a big snowstorm this week. Okay, it wasn’t that big. It was probably about six to eight inches or so. However, the problem was the TYPE of snow. It was the light fluffy stuff that Christmas songs make such a big deal over. And it came down quickly. [...]

Happy 2010!

It’s 2010 now…and it still feels so much like 2009. This year’s gonna be a big one for me. I’m going to be graduating from Iowa State and will most likely be moving across the country to attend a graduate school. This year was a good year for me personally, but I think 2010′s going [...]

Doctor Who: The End of Time

I’m a fan of the new Doctor Who Series. Unfortunately, BBC makes it’s content very difficult for us Americans to get. Fortunately, it’s not completely impossible; I have my ways. Spoilers below the fold.

Merry Christmas!

Even as an athiest, I totally celebrate Christmas. I love the idea of getting together with your family at a set time of year, especially one near the end of the calendar. This holiday has no religious significance to me, instead I view it as a secular mid-winter celebration. Sure I’m ripping off the predominant [...]

The SNL Tiger Woods Sketch

Okay…I really feel the need to say something about the SNL Tiger Woods sketch, as well as all the others floating about. As y’all probably know, sometime last week Tiger’s wife chased him down the driveway and assaulted him with a golf club, causing him to crash into his neighbor’s mailbox, causing him to need [...]

LOL…you’re so cute. :)

So y’all are familiar with the New-Age movement where any old bullshit is accepted and respected as a religion, right? Well, some of these loonies think the world’s going to end in 2012 based only on the misinterpretation of a Mayan Calandar. Okay…so there’s a Facebook Group called ‘Shut Up, The World Won’t End in [...]
