+ Turkey Day was a success. We ended up having 13 people spread over two rooms, and we're still eating leftovers. One guest brought Savannah cream cake with homemade bourbon ice cream, and it was DELICIOUS. Must get the recipe.
- Now for my least favorite time of year/holiday. Ugh, can I just sleep through all the festivities?
+ I finally figured out what I'm writing for YAGKYAS. I only wrote about 100 words. Yesterday. When
jmc_bks declared that we could not go shoe-shopping or out for sushi unless I made some progress. But still. Manageable, now that I know what I'm aiming for.
+ Started re-reading Sunshine. Put down Bad Science because the title irks me. THERE IS NO SCIENCE IN THE MARKETING, JUST BANKING ON THE USE OF FANCY WORDS MAKING PEOPLE THINK THERE IS SCIENCE. STOP MAKING THIS SCIENCE'S FAULT, AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S SPIN AND STUPIDITY ABOUT SCIENCE.
+ This week: I give lab meeting (must make slides) and am helping a dissertation student practice his defense presentation, in addition to normal lab duties.
+ Thursday and Friday: OKC Barons are in town. Gimme those bb Oilers! (OK, really I just want to see Schultz play, since I never got to see him in the cardinal and white. But if Eberle and RNH want to score while they're at my end of the ice, that'd be cool too.)
+ Checked out the LA Fitness nearest home, since I'm reluctant to run outside in the dark with few streetlights and little sidewalk, and taking the bus makes using the fitness center at the med student housing inconvenient. Clean, shiny, plenty of equipment, clean locker room. Will probably join.
