jinianSunday:
1. I found the best paper~! (It is Open Access but may be hard to follow.) Not only is it precisely what I need for this fellowship application, it cites my most recent paper multiple times and calls my previous review paper inadequate in its new analyses, which is totally fair! Scientific dialogue over time! So exciting!
Though they should've written to me to ask if those genes were present in liverworts -- we totally looked and did not find them -- but maybe they are only satisfied with PROOF, which I would understand.
2. Edward Scissorhands soundtrack in Teahouse Kuan Yin. This was the first CD I ever bought; maybe I should watch the movie again at some point. My mom and I always loved the fairy-tale feeling of it, but I'm not sure what I'd think now.
3. Sea serpent and sailboat graffito along the mistaped blobby edge of the blue-white boundary in the teahouse bathroom.
Monday:
1. I posted a correct comment about women changing their names to men's for marriage. (I mean, I left out the part where sexist traditions creep me out, but there is only so far that's polite to go with someone you've never met.)
2. PI really liked my turquoise tights, and I have pretty much learned how to accept compliments from her. (Assume it could actually be a criticism in disguise, so half-apologize and say something I like about it. If she responds with another more extreme compliment, it was a compliment. Oh, Japanese/American weird PI.)
3. There were many pleasing things about my outfit today, actually.
I planned: the weirdly perfect combination of turquoise tights with sage-green patterned skirt; the ability to layer a gray cardigan when I got to work, because it's damned cold in the lab building; the earrings-tights and shirt-shoes matches.
I did not plan: the yellow-green-blue color progression with my coat on; the fingernails-earrings match.
I wish I could have kludged a shorter skirt length. I am attempting to embrace my legs as a potential design element, and that was much more effective when I experimentally tucked the skirt up. Wasn't willing to pin the waistband to my bra, though, and couldn't think of anything else reasonable.
4. Talked to PI about writing me a letter for the fellowship proposal. Went as submissive as I could, got a good result. Fascinatingly, she said of prospective-advisor, "but wasn't he very rude?" -- wow! She really wanted him to Treat Me Right when I pushed myself on him to visit. :)
5. Great clouds on the walk home.
