Jun. 19th, 2009 04:53 pmAs I usually do when I'm walking to the car on campus, I walk through the Free Expression Tunnel (large tunnel running under the train tracks that's a combination of an experiment in free speech and a creative outlet for the students, particularly those that like to use spray paint). Today, I was absolutely tickled to find that someone had spray painted in huge red and blue letters, "BAD WOLF".
I'll have to keep an eye out for other instances of bad wolf, in case it's a paradoxical message to myself from the future so I can travel forward in time and save the universe. Just in case. XD

Feb. 26th, 2009 07:52 amFirst, it's now official. ASB accepted my abstract, so come April, I'll be in Alabama staring down a room full of scientists, almost all of which who have had much more experience than I have, trying to give a talk on my research. This'll be the first time I've ever given a real honest to goodness talk to people that aren't my classmates or my students. It's not even March, and I'm already shaking in my shoes. It's gonna be a long road to April.
Second, I came up with a new word yesterday: technicidal (adj. noun: technicide): Harboring murderous tendencies towards technology, usually computers. It popped into my head yesterday as I went into a frustrated rage over a program that wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. It would probably be best used when you feel the need to throw the computer across the room. XD
Finally, I learned of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tw_babiez the other day, a fun webcomic (which starts here). It's what would happen if you stuck Torchwood, Doctor Who, and the Muppet Babies into a blender, and it's fun. It gets a little too cute at times, depending on your tastes, but it's a short and fun read. Come for baby Doctor, stay for Bob the Dalek. <3
And now, I have a funding proposal to edit.
