demonicgerbilI know, this is boring. :p
Teaching is going good. I'm sitting in my lab about an hour before it'll be time to teach. Today we're doing the Refraction of Light lab, which I taught once for Dr. Breinig in her Physics for Math people class. Teaching is pretty easy this semester. I have few students, and they tend to be pretty good.
Research-wise, I kinda slacked off for a while in January, but we're kickin' it back into hyperdrive. Hopefully we'll be able to start serious work on X-Ray Burst comparisons soon.
Lifewise, I guess things are pretty good. Saw Sweeny Todd a while back, and I'm planning a trip to catch a simulcast of a performance of Tristan und Isolde (omg Opera) in March. Going with my Mother, because we both like real theatre. Should be fun. I guess me and Jade are back to not trying to hate each other to death at least, which is a marked improvement in our relationship, such as it is. Maybe we're a bit better than that, but I'm deliberately making a pessimistic estimate. :p
Jay got a position over with the Chemical Physics people, so he no longer has the office-within-an-office next to mine. Which kind of sucks, because I can't just walk over and harass him anymore.
Haven't heard from Tim or Rathmann in a while, but knowing them they're just fine.
Stephanie sent me a message on AIM, of which I am still pondering.
I'm close to catching them all in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire. I'm like 10 away (plus Deoxys which I'll never get) from having them all. Phantasy Star II on the Genesis is way more hardcore than I remember it being - I totally got my buttocks kicked by a random encounter at the beginning. How did I survive that game when I was like 12? O_O I've been holding off on CoHing so much this past week or so, because I don't want to get burnt out on the Double XP weekend we have coming up.
...And aside from watching way too many episodes of the X-Files lately, I guess that about sums it up.
