Ok, good enough title, I guess. Hi. I’m not a professional writer, in fact, I’ve been accused of being a terrible writer. I don’t particularly care about that. I’ll write when I’m tired of research writing, when I feel disaffected towards life outside my lab, or when I tire of wallowing in grad student malaise, and occassionaly when something interesting or funny happens to me. Right now, I’m writing to amuse myself and because I have a hard time keeping track of my life. As a vague disclaimer, when I do write, I usually write in notepad and I seldom edit, so prepare to be offended by spelling mistakes and misuse of captital letter, punctuation, etc etc, if you are offended by those things. Being a scientist doesn’t do great things for one’s ability to write or communicate with the outside world, but I find the awkwardness of my existence beyond the lab is amusing.

Peace.
