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.

this was the first time I can remember when they just made the blanket statement that every train would be delayed. somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes. mine departed a respectable 20 minutes late.

because who doesn’t love free stuff!

This is my mom’s cockatiel, Petey. Or, as she often calls  him, Petey-Wetey. He’s a very happy little guy, funny, and I like him.

so I did not realize until I typed the date for this entry that there was a reason why the line at the Border was so long! Silly me.

it’s kind of alarming that this is not the first picture of a box of hair that I’ve taken at work. maybe even more alarming than my coworker taking a glance at the unlabeled box and exclaiming, “oh! I bet that’s the box of hair!”

Here’s what Parker does: first, he paces around at my feet before finally putting his front paws up on my leg. I usually pat my lap and invite him to hop on, but he will stand here for a couple minutes before deciding what to do. If he hops back down to the floor, he will resume pacing and meowing. He’s very silly.

Even given his orange color, this kitty is well hidden in the grass. If  you’re color-blind, it’s particularly difficult to spot him.
