I think this house has bad feng shui or something. I've lived here almost 2 years, and things in my life just keep going wrong. Just recently, I have been surprised to find out that the landlords (who live upstairs - it's a duplex) are splitting up and selling the house; the bad feng shui got to them too, I guess. Luckily, it won't be...

I certainly don't feel like I've done anything. Most of it was just lounging around, reading books. My crowning achievement was getting dressed.

Missed your last entry while it was still "live"; not much time for SG this weekend...

Hope everything is going as well as possible on the dad's-health front.

Nice pictures.

I have spent most of the day trying to untangle a gigantic tangle-ball of yarn. It was really tangled.

It is probably good that you have dogs rather than cats, who would have tried to "help."

What are you making out of yarn?

So it looks as though my dad's surgery will be later this month. It's a meningioma, which tend to be benign, though they push on the brain and have to be removed. I'm still pretty anxious about the surgery, but I've been feeling reassured after hearing stories from many people about their relatives' successful brain surgeries.

In any case, good thoughts are still appreciated, of...

Definitely keep us posted. I'm sure he will be fine, but I'm sure until all is said and done, everyone is going to be uneasy.

Warm thoughts.

Good point about women artists! That would solve everything.

My legal advice is...do not commit crimes.

But if you do, make sure you do them in Worcester county.

Looks like a tryptamine related compound, I guess that explains the toad.

I'm really not sure about the postdoc thing. On the one hand it would be great to be able to really get into a particular research project and study it for a few years. On the other hand I'm really just tired as hell of being poor and feeling like I'm still "a kid" (meaning working irregular hours, no money, crappy apartment, etc.) So I don't know. I'm considering checking out the consulting thing as well. Or maybe getting into biotech venture capitol.
