Accomplishment a lot.

1. Yesterday I vomited in three different airports.*
2.  Today I tripped over my own feet, resulting in a fist sized scrape on my knee, a tear on the hem of my dress, lilttle pieces of gravel i my palms, and most impressively, a 4-inch streak of bruises and petichiae ON MY NECK. It looks like a giant hickey. Fail.





*also got offered an awesome job!

Speaking of betty draper

I mad-menned myself!

I always think of myself as Joan, but that is mostly because of my ultracurviness.  When I think about it, I am ambitious, kindof insecure, a little obnoxious, tragically uncool, and I really want to be Joan. yep, I am  Peggy Olsen.

probably should both sleep and eat more

I feel like betty draper on quaaludes today. It is so hot, and I am so tired and listless.  I just want to lay on my fainting couch/futon and stare wistfully through the window and watch the rain start.

weather.com now informs me that there will be no rain. So.

Book club update:

Today we decided that, at least according to Milton in Paradise Lost, God is a real douchebag

Having issues with rage today

Hmmm

A month went by and no blogging.  Naturally, I am spurred back to writing by the opportunity to change the way the old blog looks rather than any specific desire to express myself.  At any rate, a hail of bullets...

• My wistful last Alabama spring has melted into my miserable last alabama summer. I have spent considerable time lying on my floor in front of the air conditioner and lamenting ever moving to this terrible land. I will remember these days and bring them to mind come december when I start getting sad about leaving. 
• For Sister Book Club we are currently reading Paradise Lost. It is difficult. Good, and we have a lot of really good discussions about it, but hard. 
• I have not cooked anything remotely interesting in a month. I don't know if I've turned the stove on in a month. It is summer, who needs to eat when you can sustain yourself off whining about the heat. 
• My future seems to be shaping up-I'm almost certain to defend in October. After that, I'll finish up some stuff in the lab and then head off to a postdoc, most likely in either rhode island or dallas. Very different places. Maybe more thoughts on that later.
