I'm reaching the point in my thesis where if people think there is something I should add, they should let me know. Last time, I accepted the most rediculous comment anyone could come up with. This time, I haven't decided, but if you have any suggestiongs, let me know.

Also, the baby naming game is over. After discarding Jon's suggestions, the leading vote getter was Aiden, though I'm not sure how we're going to spell it. Thus, if the baby is a boy, the name will likely be some variant of Aiden. Not to be confused with Adin, who is neither a boy nor my child. I the baby is a girl, we're naming her Eleanor, after both our grandmothers.

My thesis is 283 pages. 283 pages of sheer joy.

See many of you in a few weeks

Interestingly, that's exacly what I'll be doing at my thesis committee meeting today.
I'll be in Hanover this weekend at Garripay fields, Kristin. Maybe you can give me some tips and I can tell you why you're not making any money.

My job is a lot like Dan's. Except, I get to humiliate myself daily by dancing up and down and getting on my knees in front of monkeys--begging them to please look at the F*)*)$#*)@*ing lights so that one day I might, just maybe, get to leave Hanover. Maybe.

I have a job. My job is to expand the limits of science. It's a full time job. It doesn't pay very well.
Today I expanded the limits of science by one fact.

In a few weeks, I'll have a new job. In the new job, I'll be telling people why they aren't making any money. This job will pay much better.
Currently, I'm practicing for my new job by telling myself why I'm not making any money.

"You're not making any money becasue you're in graduate school. You're not making any money because you're trying to help people. You're not making any money becasue you study synovial fluid. No one cares about synovial fluid."

I think I'll be better at my next job than I am at this one.

It does.

What do you all have jobs or something? That must suck.
