Wonderful! So glad to hear things are beginning to go your way finally!

As for me. . . like Damelon, I have to say: Woot! Friday at last! :biggrin:

:lol: Menolly, it's only cold when I can't put on enough layers to compensate. There's usually a week in January or February where we don't get above 0 F. That's cold. :biggrin: This is just cool. 8)

Excited. Today is my quasi-birthday and my party starts in a few hours and runs all day.

Twelve plus hours of drinking - here I come! :D

In the Fox Valley. Which for those who don't know, is about midway between Milwaukee and Green Bay. Guns, you're around Madison, right? Madison proper, or one of 'burbs? (I grew up in Mad-town 8) )

The pressure keeps changing, so I keep getting nosebleeds. Yay. Had a nasty one on the way home today, car's kept slowing down because my blood was flicking out past my bike onto their car. :twisted:

I have that same problem with nosebleeds. We'll probably both die young.

I had a symposium for most of the day, and I had a party until 2 am yesterday, so I'm a bit tired... When I took the bus to go to the city center there was a very beautiful girl sitting just across from me, and I saw her again when I took the bus to go back home; I kept wishing I could find an excuse to talk with her, but I found none (and I'm just goofy enough in approaching people that without an excuse, she might have thought I was a weirdo). And now I feel like I missed an opportunity.

I've also noticed that Germany really is different from what I'm used to. Whenever I come back home or I go out, chances are I'll see some other students coming in or out of the student dorm, and I always say "Hi" and smile - even just out of courtesy, regardless of whether I know them or not. Most guys reply back, but most girls barely look at me, if at all, and unless I know them, they do not reply. And this doesn't happen just to me, but to all my friends - both male and female. Things like these make me think that wherever I go next for my postdoc, I should choose a place where people are more open and less reserved than many Germans seem to be...

I only know second hand through marriage, and only for the mid-west German-American Lutheran community my in-laws are a part of, but this pretty much sums up my experience with Hypercerption's side of the family and the community they belong to, even after nearly 20 years of marriage.

...of course, the fact that Beorn and I are practicing Jews on top of this has nothing to do with it...

Come to Florida, if there is a decent school in your field here! ;)

No thanks, I'd like to retain a social life outside my lab and from what I hear, that's impossible in the US if you're doing your postdoc there :P

It's a winter wonderland out today. :P

There's been snow and freezing rain for about the last four hours. I just hope that there won't be enough snow for the snowmobiles to come out. They tend to ride by at all hours.

But at least we'll die freaking other people out. :D

Rather than wading through the many pages of this thread (egad, already version 2.0), I just want to know one thing from Wyldewode:

HOW WAS THE POLICE CONCERT?
