    I had the best bus ride home today: it was dark and quiet and I fell asleep almost immediately and didn't wake up until right before my stop. It was like the trip happened instantaneously.

    Today I:
-took photos of my underwear and sent it around to people at work
-was interviewed by The Scientist magazine about tips for making lab websites
-learned how to pronounce NLe?kepmxcin


You thought I was kidding?

    Wearing red earbuds makes it look like your ears are bleeding.

    And I did update the portfolio. I was sending it out to someone today when I realized that the css pages I wrote over a year ago are not cross-browser compatible. Embarrassing errors in their own websites: something to look for in a web designer. The cobbler's children indeed have no shoes.

    At the same time it feels like fall has been here forever and that it cannot possibly be mid-November already. It is timeless in the sense that each day is like the one before, and I spend my days continually looking forward to that one day, the event, the weekend, the day without demands, the day when things will be better, always tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. And the days drift by like yellow leaves in a swift stream, just as fragile and unstoppable, though the earth lays rent and cities burn and people die in the night. And still the slow indifferent march of hours, until the end of ends, seen by nothing save for dry stones and bare branches against a cold, grey sky.

    Things have calmed down a bit, I’m still busy, just less so. As a result of the insanity of the past little while, I’ve been missing out on sleep. Today was my one day to sleep in as much as I could possibly desire. I was pulled out of a black-and-white dream to meet the clock saying 9:30. This was intolerably early, so I pulled up the covers and drifted in and out of dreams until the more decadent time of 10:30. Getting up and stumbling to the kitchen greeted me with a microwave defiantly beaming out the time as 9:30. Then I remembered we go back to standard time today. As arbitrary and senseless as the extension of daylight savings was, today was the first time I was glad for it.


And another six months, another biodiversity lecture. More info can be found on the Museum site, which I also designed. I really need to update my portfolio:
