Lis's Project 365

Remember the gulls that were nesting on the roof at work last year? Well, they’re back! Not sure if this is mom or dad, since they take turns sitting on the nest. I hope to chronicle their time more fully this year since I’ve caught them early.

Jen and Ari take advantage of a break in the ceremony to say a few quiet words to Jen’s daughter.

because it was too cute to ignore. the laundry was clean before this happened.

came out of work this afternoon and the city was nearly gone!!!  for a moment I thought the world really was going to end, then I decided it was just fog.

wait a minute! if that’s my shadow, it can only mean one thing….
the sun’s out!!!!!

my all-alone gym bag, which is full of sweaty workout gear, a damp bathing suit and assorted accessories.

We have borrowed this lion skin from the Harvard MCZ for the summer, as an admittedly tenuous tie-in to the Wizard of Oz exhibit (a not-so-cowardly lion, as it were).  The lion itself was named Cliff, and he lived at Franklin Park Zoo before dying of old age. The connection may be lame, but staff is already fascinated with the specimen.

I don’t care what they say, I am  not using these things on my teeth.

Saw Ali and Laurie yesterday. We’ve all been friends since 8th grade, and while we don’t get together nearly as often as I wish we could, I still feel so lucky to still have them both in my life.

There was a troupe of Morris dancers at work today, including this young man, who told me it takes “an hour, plus one friend” to get his hair into this style.

I’m pretty sure that doesn’t include the crane, though.

so a few weeks ago I saw this Ted talk, and it looked awesome and I told two of my coworkers about it and they also thought it looked awesome and we all agreed we had to try this so today we finally did and man, was it disappointing.

such is the life of a scientist.
