I feel so loved

Hello again!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my blog. You guys are the greatest. Lab photos are coming - I just needed to slink my way into their trust before taking pics of the place. :)

Flughafen, you can land at my place anytime. I just have to clear it with my pimp. Philly has some strange rules. Prototype man is chilling out just above my desk with full view of the bed, which is unfortunately not an exciting place at the moment. Matt, if you come up with any more limericks, I'll post them - I'm simply not creative enough to come up with any good ones on my own.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know what's been up in the past few weeks. Number one, all is well. I think the apt is finally situated and I can stop putting up shelving, rewiring outlets, causing a ruckus, etc. I would post a pic or two, but except for a picture or two, nothing really looks different. I promise it was a lot of work to make such a minimal difference!

There has been some fun in my life. I went to this weird Bastille Day "re-enactment," which in France is a celebration of the French Revolution and in Philly is a way for local businesses to make money. And I'm all for it! Fun times. Check out the pics here.

Otherwise, I've been going rock climbing, and biking, and of course lab work. At the moment I am swimming in new info and it's tons of fun. If I described what we do, some people might have large problems with it (it involves either killing or severely injuring and then killing baby pigs), but suffice it to say that we investigate the causes and therapies for brain injury in kids. For anyone who knows of my interest in seeing an animal die or dissecting something, these interests are being addressed.

Oh...and I cut my own hair. Just to see how it would work out. I would say not bad for my first try.


Finally, Kay came to visit and got hit on a couple girls, one who couldn't stop sticking her tongue down his throat while asking him (during breathing breaks) if he was gay. Like I said, Philly is weird.

Hope to hear from you soon!
