I just spent two hours in the rafters of a horse...
…catching pigeons.
We seriously had to climb into the rafters of this horse barn, in the dark, with these big nets. Then we flashed a light at the pigeons to stun them, scooped them up, and individually wrapped them in little brown paper bags.
I can’t make this shit up.
Our bout made the news! →
Just a little segment, but still, pretty nice publicity. I love how after every segment about derby, the anchors always joke about how scary we are.
Really, we’re sweet ;]

I've seen two or three spiderlings a day in my lab
They seem to be clustered around the computer. I really, really wish I could take pics of them for you under the dissecting scope because they’ve got a pretty sick coloration and like, a bajiliion little eyes.
I’ll give a try while I’m sitting here doing nothing…

I have to give another research talk today.
I feel sick. Do not want.
Why must all this bullshit stand between me and my awesome weekend?
I guess I'm a good dancer after all.
I mean, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing half the time people are trying to spin me and shit, but I make it look good.
Yeah, the night went better than I thought it would. I picked things up pretty quickly, and people actually asked me to dance. Like, several people…asked me to dance. I was dancing all night.
So that was nice.

WHAT THE HELL
SERIOUSLY, IF AFTER THIS WHOLE FREAKING MOVIE, ED GETS STUCK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE AGAIN IMMA BE PISSED.
Roller Derby was an answer on Cash Cab.
I love how I unabashedly judge the contestants when they don’t know something I know (OMG SINUSES YOU FUCKING DUMBASS UGH), even though - more often than not - they know the answers when I don’t.
Just the kind of person I am, I guess.
