    had a bunch of my brain sections not detached from my slides yesterday, i would have finished my data collection. damn. well, the part i didn't screw up is amazing, p<0.0001
    makes the long succession of 12-hour days almost worth it.

    another sign it's spring:
    the weather alternates between downpours, hot and sunny, sprinkles, cloudy, and blindingly bright within a 1.5-hour time frame. (this makes walking across campus unpredictable. speaking of which, back to the imager.)

    Remember Pat, I always laugh *with* you and never *at* you

    Speaking of which, keep a wary eye on the coffee maker at work. I pulled a little prank on you ....

    You know it's spring because...

    ...all of the sand dumped on the roads through winter is now blowing about in the strong spring winds. I need goggles to go outside, or perhaps some sort of Laurence of Arabia outfit.

    I wonder if a matching harem girl costume is a possibility? Where is Rae when you need her?

    Always nice when you have 33°F water.

    Um, no it is not. I have this mental image of the opening credits to Gilligan's Island, with the Minnow bouncing up and down in rough seas.

    What's a coffee maker? I use boiled water from an urn and instant coffee.
