Enough of that negative/whiny blog, here's a new and improved one.
I'm going to New Orleans! I have yet another conference there, and this conference pretty much sucks. I don't really know anyone who goes to it, and I'm usually interested in maybe 1 of the talks. The only reason I'm going is b/c it's prestigious to give a presentation there, and one of my...

I dont think Ive ever told you about my horrendous eyesight. Im legally blind without glasses, and my vision can only be corrected to 20/30 or so, although its only 20/40 in my right eye. Plus I have congenital cataracts that havent gotten big enough to be taken out yet, and they interfere with my vision. You can call me Ms. Magoo. 
So I had...

Well, I'm pretty blind too. Not that blind, though And be assured: The new layout sucks also when you can see properly!
Sorry I've been a bit negligent about SG lately. But there was more interesting stuff to do and the new layout didn't really help my motivation ...
Life at my side couldn't be much better! Got all that job part sorted out, summer started and the World Cup is marvelous!
Yeah, there is a certain female someone I should be a bit more assertive with. But I'm at it ... already tonight. Will keep you updated

I am happy to report that my talk went really well, hooray! 
Thanks for all of the encouraging words. I generally like giving talks, usually, but the audience for this one was making me nervous. But luckily I got in my presentation groove right from the start, and I think I slipped up with only one "um" (gotta watch those). The Q & A period...

Have you randomly wandered by his office/lab? Even if he isn't there, you might get a clue from decorations, etc. as to personality that you might use to break the ice.
Is there a party coming up that you could drop by and give him an invitation. (That worked for me )
Good luck...

Giving talks is a large part of my job. I usually dont get very nervous about them, and I often dont rehearse beforehand - I know my research subject area pretty well and have usually given some version of the talk before. Well, tomorrow I have to give a talk to a large audience that will include pretty much EVERY SINGLE BIGWIG who is SUPER...

I hope the talk went well. As a professional natural philosopher, I know the feeling... I'm certainly chanting give MadScience the money, give MadScience the money, give MadScience the money . . . and will offer some libations to the Science Gods, but I fear the next few years are going to be pretty tough over all on the funding front.
In the meantime, the porn empire sounds like a great idea. I'd be happy to help find novel distribution channels.

Were all poised on the edge of our seats waiting for the outcome???
Apparently the pharmacy gave me Placebo Allegra instead of the real stuff. Full-on allergies here. In fact, at work someone said "you look tired." Great, thanks, EXACTLY what I wanted to hear when I was planning to meet someone 11 years younger tonite. God, how is it that he's 11 years younger?? I certainly don't feel that much older than 24.

I know youre at a stage in your Porn Enclave where were putting the Cart before the Cowgirl but, when you put together a business plan send me a copy. I have access to some capital.
Your right maybe we should work in close concert concerning the R&D. I have a few ideas Id like to touch base on.
See you have everyone worked up.

Ive met Bachelor #4, aka Mr. Homebody! We got together for drinks before we met up with our respective friends last nite. It took us a while to find our conversation groove, but we finally clicked when...

There is a picture of me in my dads boat, when I was three or four, watching the ponies swim across the channel. Ill have to pull it out of the parents archive. Misty of Chincoteague was my favorite book as a young kid. When you get your grant, and you will get your grant, shall we go to the beach together?
Thanks for sharing the luv, I can use it right now.

The world may never be the same if we joined forces in the Crescent City. We would have to take separate planes in though, if they caught wind of our diabolical plan they would surely quarantine the entire French Quarter and shut up Bourbon Street tight.
What dates are you traveling there?
Did I mention you look extremely alluring in your profile pic? Your antenna are the perkiest I can recall, your Quarks really have me quaking. Im sure you hear this from all the boys.

Update time!
1. I heard from the ex (of sorts) that I extended the olive branch o friendship to! We were pretty much friends with benefits until he blew me off. Apparently, he wanted to be more than FWB and it had become apparent to him that that wasnt going to happen. In his email, he said he liked x, y, and z about me,...

I wish I had seen this editorial in the Scientific American on April Fools Day, I would have posted it then. The SA editorial was mentioned today in a NY Times editorial about the proposed academic freedom laws. The current political climate really, really scares me. So on that note, heres the update on my NIH grant.

REJECTION! It looks like the olive branch o friendship is being rejected by my ex. Maybe hes taking the whole weekend to mull things over, but it doesnt look promising. Oh well, disappointing, but not that big a deal. Here are a couple of much worse, sex-related rejection stories for your reading pleasure . . .

One of the things that sucks about a break up is you not only lose a boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, etc., but you also lose a good friend. The two of you likely had similar interests before you met, and then you developed all of that shared couple history. After the break up, youll see or hear something and think, I should...

I have a lady friend who used to date only women, and she remained friends with all her ex's. Now she only dates men, and she has never remained friends with any of her ex's. So there's obviously something about men that makes it difficult to stay friends. What it is I don't know.

Hey, how's your break going? (You are on break now, right?) Mine's great, thanks for asking! Things are going well with the guy.

My friends have an 8 year old boy who wants to be a girl. Theyre doing a great job of being sensitive to his needs. Theyve enrolled him in ballet and ice skating, both of which he loves. He can play dress-up at home, but he knows that doing so elsewhere might not be such a great idea. Since he cant wear his sisters skating...
