I nominated myself for the 3 Quarks Daily Blog Award for science blog post.
That's how I roll.

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.
Allyson!! I was *just* wondering about you and how you were doing! Like, doing a threadsuck for your name to see if I missed something! How are you?
I am alive! Back at JPL, pretty much done with the spit shine on the bat book before sending it off to Agent Kate, and starting to dip my toes back into the social scenery.
Good to hear! How was your vacation?
The roach or the HS hormone hell?
Roach. Yuck.
Alive is good. Good to see you, Allyson.
Vacation was sorely needed. I felt like I was going to crack for awhile there. It was nice to just take the dog to the park and chillax and get my head back in shape.
Glad you got to chillax! Chillaxin' is good.
Glad to see you again, Allyson!
Loki's pining at the doors. It seems to be a nightly thing; wailing at the front and french doors and trying to climb through the blinds.
Allyson! It's so nice to see your font!
Okay, so I have cheerleading tryouts tomorrow. My 30+ girls petered out to a core of 16-18 who have shown up each day. We have practices that start 90 minutes before school starts, which is a nice way to weed out contenders.
I'd originally intended on having a squad of 16, but now I'm thinking smaller? Like go with fewer who are better or should I just accept all 16 come what may?
I also have to fundraise $300 to send two girls to cheer camp because I can't choreograph and do cheers on my own. Then I have to help the girls fundraise $250 each for uniforms.
And, did I mention? I'm not getting paid for this? Because I can only have one stipend and I'm taking it for academic decathalon (for which I need to also get 10 copies some books, including the very brief history of the French Revolution and copies of Tale of Two Cities )and not cheer?
I kinda want to cry.
