My Life Needs Hot Sauce
Mar. 19th, 2009 11:50 pmI regret to say that I ate cheap lunchmeat turkey. I have discovered exactly what mushy cardboard tastes like, and regret not keeping tabasco in the house. Fortunately I had K's leftover pork chop with raspberry chili sauce, mashed potatoes, and spinach to warm my belly on this rainy day. Real food is awesome.
I gave my presentation last night and it went... pretty well, I guess. I actually got a "good job!" from the professor. Now, if only he'd give a rubric with a grade on it (for anything), I'd be a lot more reassured about my class standing. Tuition reimbursement doesn't kick in until I pass!
I could do a bedtime story about double-sided tape, shared reagents, and the tragedy of the commons in lab work, but anyone who's ever shared one small, critical item between three or more people knows how this one goes.
The Hugo nominees are out. I am trying to figure out how to congratulate all the nominees while also observing that only four of the 20 nominees in the four standard fiction categories are not men. Because yay, Hugo nomination: awesome; however, significant problems within the community are highlighted in the ballot. I am especially tickled by Y: the Last Man: Whys and Wherefores making the graphic novel cut, because I finally read it earlier this month and, other than massive tragic spoiler, I thought it was awesome and a fitting end to the series.
