And now I flee east! East to my alma mater, dear old Swellesley, for a weekend of reminiscing and debauchery. hj1 & wellstar, see you there. canis_m, we'll burn incense for you in SCI 277.

Be sure to check out The Do95 for drunken updates!

Aaaaaand we're back. Work continues its beatdown, although in the last two weeks I have conquered two looming scientific reports. Yay! Now I switch gears to conquering all the looming field work for the various projects we've taken on. But it's okay-it happens every summer. And I get to do bird surveys along the Carmel River, which is a nice ( Read more... )

Work is killing me this week. Today was the day I admitted to myself--and my boss--that I cannot do it all. Nope. Can't be done. I'm already working ridiculously long hours and I *still* couldn't get this report in on time. Not only did I miss the original deadline, but the extended deadline that I begged for. And not only is the report in ( Read more... )

This week at work: BIRDS! HUNDREDS OF BIRDS! Our annual 2-3 days of crazy spring migration hit this week, and I banded a lot of many migrating feathered creatures. I even left the interns alone to run the station one day, and they done good. In other news, all the parties we've had in the last couple of weeks have all ended in charades. This is ( Read more... )

Many thanks to wellstar for pointing out to me that today is HAIKU DAY. It happens once a century, people, so this is a big deal ( Read more... )

I hate being so busy at work, because it means I have no time for my precious internets. It means that I somehow miss out on pure comedy gold like this. Former Star Trek stunt guy + the beach + rabid patriotism + an unstoppable army of flag-waving children = the best music video ever. Words cannot describe it. Debate rages whether or not it's ( Read more... )

Hoo-boy! How long has it been since I posted? Huh ( Read more... )

Okay, I just HAD to post this, because OH MY GOD it's so true:

floaty pens are lovebrought to you by the isLove GeneratorFloaty pens! They ARE love! My pens...my precious pens... Oh, AND!! I just watched a rerun of CSI where this little girl? KILLED AN OLD LADY WITH A FLOATY PEN. It was insane. I never knew they could double as murder ( Read more... )

Am briefly surfacing before submerging again. Work = teh madness as right now I am scrambling to get everything square for our 4th Annual Peter Pyle Workshop next week--I mean tomorrow OH GOD IT'S TOMORROW. Okay. No, I'm fine. I'm doing my utmost to Keep It Together. K-I-T. K-I-T K-I-T KITKITKIT ( Read more... )

Gah. I have no time for anything! No time to post, no time to comment, no time to e-mail, no time for phone calls. Work is still punishing me for being gone so long, and my social life (such as it is) is keeping me from my precious internets. No, Australia pictures have not been uploaded yet. This weekend, I hope. Anyway, allow me to sum up ( Read more... )
