The inevitability of plaid
Hello.My supervisor sent me a very rude email last week about my lack of productivity. I replied listing all the work I'd done getting experiments together and making sure the panicking undergraduates were ok with their projects, and then I submitted a piece of work to him, so he apologised yesterday. This does not alter the fact that I am more than somewhat concerned about my doctorate and all. The endless fun of my first year has paled somewhat with the realisation that I have no direction to my thesis. This problem was not helped by my supervisor pointing out to me that I have no direction to my thesis and saying that this was cause for concern. Well no, that's because I spent my first year letting theory wait on empirical data like you told me to . You fuckstick.
Anyway, it's not all bad news. Little Shop of Horrors opens a week today. Have I mentioned that I'm in it? Heh. So I'll be singing my lungs out next tuesday-thursday. Laaaa.
Andandand I signed on the dotted for my flat next year! Wooo. Basement flat in a very nice part of town. Just me in it. Oh yes yes I think so. Of course I will have no money ever again, particularly this month because the deposit on the new flat plus rent on my exisiting place means I will have output 3 times the normal amount of rent. Hoorah.
My talk and poster have been accepted by HBES, so I'm off to Philadelphia in June for a conference. The rest of the lab is going too. Should be a giggle.
Anything else? Well, I'm hungover and very very thirsty.
Plus ca change.

you should find some conference in St. Louis to present at (hey, we have lots of science-y people here) -- then Jess & Robo can come over, & we'll have a grand ol' time.
p.s. arnold of doom is awesome!
Aw, that'd be nice. Well, I have some time to kill in June, maybe I'll strut on over to St Louis and mix it up with you crazy kids.
Arnold says thanks.
Ravenclaw is an excellent House for an academic such as yourself! If I wasn't a Gryffindor, I'd be a Ravenclaw!

I just spent twenty minutes trying to make arnold of doom fat by feeding him carrot after carrot, but nothing!
I've adopted a llama called Dallas. It's pretty dumb, Dallas, not the whole adopt a virtual pet.
how do you feed him a carrot? I can only make him jump! no fair . . .
never mind, I figured it out -- coolness! But I think they should add some other dietary options...
I tried to make arnold explode with carrots when i first got him, but no. Must be all that jumping, I suppose. The carrot munching effect is also very scary when on headphones, especially when you're not expecting it. He's getting a bit spoilt with all this attention though.
