Puyallup Fair 2009: Spotted piglets, Demented American Ladies, a fishing float collection, noisy chickens, no cows?!, and an obligatory elephant ear.
Taxonomic upheaval! http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/2009/09/chamerion_angustifolium_1.php
Coming out in middle school (NYT)
State of self was: weird about food, feeling down. State of self currently: a bit tired and not very social, which is annoying as it's time to welcome new grad students with a BBQ and big party tonight.
Weaving class: Took a class and a half to set up the warp threads, which have to go individually through two different loom parts and be suspended from a variety of confusing rods, but now weaving takes no time at all. So far, I have made an inch or so of tabby, twill, reverse twill, crow's foot and its opposite, and basket weave. Whee! I want to do more weaving than I have weaving homework.
Costs of being gay (NYT)
What I've been doing pretty much all week: I can haz confocal microscope, and it fucking rocks.
