(no subject)

things I should be doing:

• asking facilities to take away the corpse freezer from the animal rooms
• asking facilities to take away the undead -80 freezer we are inheriting from a lab that is retiring
• asking facilities to do other ancillary things like find out why the heat doesn't work in this crappy basement or repaint our "dry erase" wall, swiftly becoming a dingy grey wall from which nothing erases
• assembling quizzes for students whose class starts in two hours
• grading quizzes for students whose class starts in two hours
• eating actual meals
• the dreaded manuscript

things I am actually doing:

• my beautiful sunshine collaborators told me there was a whole book about how in the Renaissance there was a lot of outrage at the idea that flowers might actually be having sex, and I found it at the library and now I am trying to wrench it from a crummy PDF into a nice readable ebook
• listening to the Moana soundtrack on repeat
• furiously updating my twitter and occasionally watching my Metafilter account in case this dude comes back and flounces entertainingly again
• talking to all of y'all

I ought to do one of those December posting memes for content and discussion, but I've forgotten where to find them and I'm pretty overwhelmed. If I can find one, maybe I'll play with that.
