Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
but then I remembered that scientists are really, really boring.
You'd be surprised. The wildest parties I ever attended (and I include nights clubbing in drug free-for-all central european countries) happened to be at observing facilities. When I was 17. Aaiiiieeeee.
but then I remembered that scientists are really, really boring.
Hush you. I have a terrible crush on a very non-boring scientist.
And they're mostly all batshit crazy, so there's many stories to tell. My next book is all about work, so they'll star in at least a few stories.
Other books Buffistas should write: Craxxy People I have Known and Worked For, by Sophia Brooks.
I'm still trying to get my head around someone who would retype a phonebook to avoid boredom.
I was raised by Caltech/JPL scientists, and grew up surrounded by Caltech grad students. Not boring. Bugfuck crazy sometimes, but not boring.
The DC police chief has declared a crime emergency.
What, is Crime in trouble again? This is the third time this week. Ima dock his allowance.
I would do the retyping thing. Not a phonebook, because of formatting issues. But I've been known to write scads about nothing (or song lyrics) in order to keep my eyes open during meetings or training sessions.
Watched a couple episodes of psych. I quite like it. The star's incredibly Zach Brafflike.

that's a negative, as far as I'm concerned, but he's toned it down since the pilot.

That's typical of grad students in general. And not just in the sciences.
So saith a former grad student.

There was a certain irony to my original statement, given that I am a scientist. Well, it was ironic inside my own head, anyway. I'm happy to see people defending scientists as merely crazy, rather than boring. Crazy people are much more likely to be invited to parties.
