Three things...

Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE (_wwsd_) for yesterday!!! Hope it was grand!

Secondly, there is sentence that should be banned from all scientific talks...

"As everyone well knows [insert some random scientific fact here]"

If everyone knew it, you wouldn't be talking about it now would you? Whay make us all feel silly for not knowing the most basic concept of an area you have been researching in minute detail for most of your scientific career? *shakes head* Silly sentence. In this morning's talk, the girl said it at least five times. Yes, I'm sure everyone knows all about it. [/sarcasm]

Thirdly, newkidfan has kindly posted high res caps of Heroes 1x1 over at her icon journal blimey_icons. Find them here. I am already addicted to this show. The first episode drew me in, the second cemented it and I am awaiting the third happily. Yay, a new television love. Like I need any more. :)

PhD update - a happy one for once

Yay! I've written the majority of two chapters and my supervisors were happy with me in the meeting today. OMG! *dies of shock* Happy!

I'll take my conference poster over for printing tomorrow. Conference at a beach-side resort. Oh yeah! I am so skipping out on a few sessions. I think there's a pool at the posh hotel we're booked into as well.

yokiem and I got free stuffed-toy dragons today from a drug company rep. (plus biscuits and a pillow case). HIs name is now Sven - the purple gay sumo-wrestling champion dragon. Don't ask. Just nod.
