Great ecomonic plan, US!

I'm sure this'll fail too.

Yeah, I heard some of this this morning getting ready for work

I listen to the Sandbox every morning, even though I hate those DJs. Didn't really know what the hell was going on with Henry. Check out Universal Hub and the links to this story that eventually lead to Ken Jennings' message board. Nice.

I survived another meeting w/ my boss!

I was so nervous I'd get reprimanded for being a slacker but he was so nice to me. He's sooo helpful which I'm just not used to. PIs usually are unreasonable and unwilling to be helpful. So basically I have to have one of my papers done by his birthday which is March 8th. So my birthday present to him is supposed to be a paper. Luckily the paper has to be pretty short and a similar one has already been written by our group so I have a good outline. The other paper I have to write is a similar situation so hopefully that won't be too painful either.

Also I'm applying for a grant to go to this infectious diseases conference in Kuala Lumpur. It's for women physicians and scientists 40 or younger working in infectious diseases and microbiology. The application is due in a week so I have to hurry but I just found out about it yesterday. My PI has to write me a letter of recommendation and he's so busy it takes awhile for him to get things done but he said he'd do it and he knows I don't have much time. I hope I get it! Then I'll have a fun trip for June :0)

UPDATE 2008/01/24: Crap! I didn't read the stupid travel grant application carefully enough. It only applies to those
from developing countries and countries-in-transition in Asia, the Subcontinent or Africa
. Bollocks!

Today's favorite song: Summer Breeze

Not sure how this got into my head but it did and luckily I own it so I can listen.

See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything's alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walk on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day's work, and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen, food cookin' and the plates for two.
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
