Indications of Exhaustion: Cannot Stop Talking.

[ase]

I had deep thoughts about cultural construction of beauty as natural or artificial, and how this plays out in systems of oppression and cross-cultural signalling, but that was before I pulled a nine-hour day. So I came home, packed lunch-and-dinner sandwiches for tomrrow, watched an NCIS episode which blew its budget on horses versus helicopters while snagging Mira Furlan as Minor Character of the Week, and actually put a filter between my brain and my homework. ("I should travel more. My medical history would be more colorful" is not appropriate for your infectious disease answer sheet.)

So that was my Tuesday, with bonus subfreezing temperatures. Up next: hump day! With highs significantly above freezing!

ETA: Wait, what? Watchmen comes out March 6th? I thought it was a May release! I haven't even seen Coraline yet!

Mmmm. I suspect that lab rat and intellectual academic are a little hard to manage simultaneously. I hope there's still such a thing as tenure when you're ready for it.

I suspect that lab rat and intellectual academic are a little hard to manage simultaneously.

And yet, that is one of the most succinct descriptions of grad school I have ever heard.

I may occasionally achieve "succinct" by fortuitous accident; my more usual mode is "blunt," with frequent helpings of "thoughtless," and leavening of "uninformed" aka "dumb as rock."

But you knew that :)
