This is Easterween, this is Easterween...

I am the bunny sleeping under your bed....

I don't know what's weirder about this picture:
a) the t-shirt was bought for me by one of the dearest people in my life, sarah, who told me she knew immediately it was for me (and she was right!)
b) this is the first time those bunny ears have been off the clock in the living room in recent memory
c) i wish this were my driver's license photo

Happy Easter, everybunny....

"Sho' yo' gonna be a doctor, baby!"

That's always been my favorite line from Raisin in the Sun. And today, it's more than funny. It's true.

Well, it's official. Today the emphasis is on the once and future dr. science. I have made my decision: I have accepted the invitation of the University of Michigan to attend in the fall for my doctorate in neuroscience.

Also: Happy Birthday, mom!

Patty Freakin' McGuire, that's who.

I suppose it's only fair. I've got to revise my previous stance on facebook (i.e. "Guns don't kill people, Facebook kills people"). After all, a "foolish consistency," says Emerson, "is the hobgoblin of a little mind."

You know when the last time was I used that quote? About the same time I last saw Patty McGuire - my junior year of high school. Through the creepy magic of facebook, we got back in contact, and when she happened to be coming to new york, we were able to arrange to have brunch in Brooklyn.

Patty's awesome. Always has been. Funny, smart, and super creative. It'd been what, 10 years? 11?

Nicely done, Facebook. You've won this round.

Ain't no party like a natural history museum planetarium dance party with music by DJ Jazzy Jeff because a natural history... (well you get the point)

A super-fun dance party last Friday with Kristin Baker (co-founder of the free-cookie acquisition squad known as The Confectioners) and a metric hojillion other people. And yes, it was that DJ Jazzy Jeff. Also, yes, this is picture of a meteorite from space in which someone has deposited their empty beer can. C'mon, people, it came from Space! Show some respect.

Anyways, fun times.
