i'm a little slow to remember that i've now begun my blog and must write in it. more often than once a week! ha! but here i am in the lab on a friday night at 6:35 pm--in the midst of a three hour incubation before harvesting cells...and was scrolling around reading blogs when i suddenly remembered my poor forgotten orphan of a blog (i'm tellin' ya, it doesn't take me long these days to forget about something)...
well, last weekend we hit atlanta (decatur) to visit a dear friend with whom i went to grad school--she finished around the same time as me (in the same basic medical sciences PhD program) and is now doing her post-doc at emory university...her name is XXXX...but her initals are RAT, so i love that we can say we visited Ratlanta. hee. get it.? wow, we are clever. it was good times---even though the visit was too short. a little stone mountain (whew! outta shape!)..., farmers' market (Dekalb--apparently pronounced deCAB, although i beg to argue with the locals, i think they are all just massacring the proper pronunciation, but what do i know?)... and yea, we hit IKEA. i needed stuff. Ikea stuff. well, you know, a chair for the sewing room (*which i have yet to put together, since i haven't had time, and seeing as i am here now, probably won't do until who knows when)...
hmmm. now, i want to post photos--but what is the etiquette for this? i know i can post my own...but what of others? in science, we reference---in the blog world, it appears that photos are referenced, but not very well. anyone out there? if so, help. i wanna put some lovely findings from my eclectic blog readings...
speaking of which...tonight i am supposed to go to a party. it's going to be late by the time i am ready---i have to stop to get a gift (it's a bday party, for someone i don't know all that well, but would like to become better friends)---and my better half has to work...so i will be on my own. i just don't know if i want to go--i also have to get up early tomorrow...but i would like to put on some fancy clothes---just since i have been a bum lately---even in Ratlanta...we hiked and cooked at the house---it was perfect, but i did bring a bunch of fancy clothes that i didn't even get to wear :(
well, my incubation is going to be up soon...so i should prepare (ah the joys of a post-doc, haha--no, really, i love it)...
Happy Friday!
ARTS ALIVE! weekend h
ere! The exclamation point in the title alone makes you feel it--makes you realize what a fantastic weekend is in store! Not to mention that, but it was also South Sounds fest as well---our South eastern version of SXSW. Yep, 
that's right. Coming from the DC and then Baltimore areas, these music and arts fests are not only common, but expected--here in the deep south, fests like today with like-minded friends are so welcomed and just, well---amazing. You feel like you are part of something about to explode, a participant and not only a spectator---you feel as if you are a part of a change--and part of something GOOD. Difficult to explain, really. Here's a little taste of our weekend...
t? well, if you are not yet bored to tears, i like science. i LOVE fashion and art. i love creative people and odd things. this blog will showcase my ideas and thoughts...it will give insight into what it's like to be a postdoc, and of course what i dream about...which are warm sunny days filled with light and those little dandelion seeds that float through the air -- you know, the ones that make you feel like you are in a dream, or at the very least, in an old polaroid. this blog will probably make little coherent sense. ha. but at least there might be some good stories. and maybe a cool photo or two. oh, and great clothes. or at least stolen (with references!) photos of great clothes.
viva la science! (oh, did i mention i am also obsessed with paris?)
