A Quick Post, Because I'm Still Alive

Happy 2007 to all my loyal readers. I completely abandoned all blogging over the holidays, both here and at my second blog home, The Bear Republic Action Group, because I was in America's heartland. Here's a quick list to keep you up-to-date with the comings and goings of the last month:

1. Christmas was spent with the vivacious Dr. Brazen and the slightly less vivacious but still quite pleasant Mr. Brazen. We watched Revenge of the Nerds (1 AND 2) and drank martinis and ate cake. It was like a little slice of heaven.

2. I was planning on re-visiting NYC after the new year, but had to cancel my trip due to an emergency at work. I miss all my city friends so much, and I was really disappointed, because I don't know when I'll be able to go back.

3. I returned to California college town, where it's cold as BALLS. I feel totally lied to.

4. Found that in my lab, a specific directive not to touch a piece of equipment actually translates to: "Please touch this equipment, which you don't know how to use and probably don't even understand what it is that it measures. That would make me very happy. Ecstatic, really."
