I am gradually falling behind on everything, school, chores, paperwork, even my biological functions. I'm scheduled to poop on Tues and Fri, apparently. I didn't get the fucking memo.

I am also a horrible, very bad, terrible fish mother. My killifish hasn't been behaving normally for a few days. He started hiding around the time I added some other ( Read more... )

I had another appointment with the urologist yesterday. I have to say, it was not the most fun outing. First of all, of the 20-some-odd patients waiting, I was the only one under 70 and the only one who was female. We did have something in common though, namely we were all intensely interested in our shoes and the ceiling. I had to keep fighting ( Read more... )

Wow, life here at the new job doesn't suck at all. The people are really friendly, really interesting, and are so much more relaxed than the past couple of jobs I've had. We actually go for...coffee together. What a concept. Other than that, the top 10 best things about my new job are ( Read more... )

Back from Belize, and real life is such a drag. Can't I dive and read and drink banana daquiries all day ALL the time? Or at least for longer than a week? The group worked out really, really well. I guess generally speaking I've had really good luck with group vacations, because I've heard some horror stories, but I must have perfect friends. I am ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a looooooong time since I've updated. I wonder if anyone has kept me on their friends list? I'm not really sure why I haven't updated...I'm just not on the computer much for one thing, and also really haven't felt anything in the way of creative juices.

The last few days have been fairly eventful, and a little birdyhiddenbear sent me an lj ( Read more... )

Poor J had a rough weekend. First he had to spend his morning on Saturday going to Quincy to get his car from the shop. Not that the damage from the Great IPod Heist of 2005 is fixed, mind you, but he'd been planning on using my unreliable piece of crap to get to his soccer game, and my car lived up to its name by not starting. So, after ( Read more... )

The title of a blog, Childbearing Hipster, reminded me of the strangest compliment I've ever gotten:

You have nice childbearing hips.

The gentleman caller in question was a sailor at the sailing pavilion, which is where I worked during the summer while I was in college. He shared this opinion as he was boarding my boat, uninvited, pirate-style, ( Read more... )

If I had someone making me lunches like these, maybe I'd try being a vegan again.

Sorry I've been off LJ and bad about email and calls, I'm swamped.

State bill would limit procreation assistance

While I'm the first to think wishfully of requiring all potential parents to pass muster prior to giving birth, adopting, or beaming down their very own child, I am rational enough to know it's not possible. Who governs the govenors? I think the past few years have proved that the word "values" means ( Read more... )

I love biology. I want to get into a big vat of it and roll around, or maybe print out hundreds of problem sets, shred them, bag them, and use them as a duvet so that I can inhale the inky ribosomal goodness all night. I think the only thing that I love more than general biology is neurobiology. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed all this. ( Read more... )
