Thesis defenses

This is the season for people defending their Ph.D.s Yesterday Mariu and Tony both successfully defended the theses and are now doctors! They are both very very happy and very very relieved! Roger and I are looking with wistful eyes, thinking that oh we want to finish too!

Shelley will be defending tomorrow. I must remember to go. She came by yesterday to drop of the invite for her wedding to Harry in June!!! I'm sooo excited! We promise to go for lunch/dinner sometime soon so I can see the Burmeses.......Shelley says they're a little inbred, one of them has a tongue that hangs out and a wide head.

My labmates have been circulating the 10 favorite words from Merriam-Webster. Pretty random stuff, and we have been making stupid sentences today.

Eric brought me McDonalds for lunch. I love their grease soaked fries and puny burgers. And he spent the lunch hour telling my labmates about his fantasies towards Brad Pitt. Obviously he is looking forward to watching Troy.

Nose says she wants to open a doggy day care center in Singapore. People are really crazy if they are going to take their DOG to day care! But this is coming from someone who talks to cats...

Have all the paperwork finalized for the SDB meeting in Calgary. I am still hoping for the plane ticket price to drop. My boss was giving me shit again about how crappy that meeting was etc. And of course he wasn't going to pay for it but he was curious about how I was going to pay for it. Bah! My secret (or rather not so secret) objective is to scope out labs for a potential postdoc.

Off for a run...I heard that we might have a spawning party next week. !@#@!^
