Bald me
Mondays are a good days. Had our reading group meeting at the center which was a nice relaxing time since I wasn’t presenting. It feels like things at the lab are getting a little more friendly, probably just because I’ve been spending more time there. For whatever reason, it’s nice to feel slightly more welcome. Class this morning was also excellent – a lecture on working memory that seemed to touch on some of my work, so I had lots of questions for the presenter. Interesting stuff.
Also, I got copies of my brain images! Exciting stuff. The data includes the skull and skin on the skull in addition to the actual brain junk, so you can actually 3D render my whole head without my hair and see what I look like bald! Very odd! So I spent a while playing with my brain slices, which is much fun. I’ll post some up later. Turns out I’m going to get scanned again in a few weeks, and Lewis too, because the scanner messed up my data. It was interesting, so I’m really not bothered. My lab mate is even going to let me run the scanner while we’re scanning Lewis, so I’m looking forward to it!
Got my work done early, and I’ve been doing a good job of not working harder than I need to, so I spent the evening working on some audio files we’d recorded from our vinyl. I didn’t even go to yoga tonight, though I would have liked to. I did something funky to my arm yesterday at the gym, and today it really hurts to straighten it all the way so I figured it was best to rest and let it recoup a bit. What a lazy day!
I’m thinking about hitting up Vacaville tomorrow to get some more sewing goods and maybe spend a gift certificate I’ve got on some summery clothes. Could be good!
