I can't begin to give a justice to the happenings of the last few months, but here's it in a nutshell: Craig and I got back together and he's planning on moving out in June to live with me. The science is going well (slowly but well) and I have two Nobel Laureates on my thesis committee (yikes!). I got a $120,000 NSF GRFP grant (third time's the charm). I saw the sun rise on my favorite city this Sunday morning after missing the midnight caltrain back from visiting Mike, Jenn, and Ella so I got a hotel room and made the best of it. Brunch on Market was delicious and poetically lonely.

Update over.

Tonight I watched the Madonna episode with Liz, Jay, and Lia...some of my favorite people in the entire world. And I was totally gagging on the eluh-ganza!

This is me reading Elmo to Ella this weekend--who PS has a view of the Golden Gate bridge from her bedroom window--Jealous!:



It was nice to spend time with a child that wasn't a monster after teaching Splash (the insect taxonomy class) to 7-12 graders this week. Although to be fair, I think I was probably a pretty shitty human being during those years too.

But seriously, y'all. Could my life get any better? I mean the Met might call and offer me the title role in Rigoletto and I could wake up tomorrow with six-pack abs...

Thank you dah-ling. I'm sorry I fell off the face of the earth for a few weeks. How are things with King Leo and company?

I can't wait to change "poetically lonely" to poetically romantic. Like feeding turtles and ducks in the park and rooting for the poor turtles... =)

PS, can you say hella cute pic!

I love to feed the turtles and ducks! But mostly the turtles. We can go to GG park every weekend when you move sweetie!

Good to hear things are going so well, man. Congratulations on the NSF and Craig moving out there. Two totally unrelated points: 1) You're only a music snob because you don't do enough/any psychedelics. 2) That Batman and Robin picture is fantastic.
