Usually, when I have a free Sunday morning, I try to get up reasonably early (~7:30) and go to Mysore. But this weekend I practiced the yoga pose of sleep. I was out latish Sat. night at a work-related dinner, and then up even later finishing my purimgifts fic, and so didn’t go to sleep until 1:30. I woke up at 7:30 or so, and thought screw this. And I didn’t wake up again until 10:30. Can’t remember the last time I did that. It might have been in high school.

Anyway, 28 hours of freedom is not so much when you spend 9 sleeping and 4 at a work dinner, so I hardly caught up at all on TV. I did watch, out of curiosity, the House episode in which Jeremy Renner plays a dissolute rock singer. And enjoyed it very much—I forgot how much I like S4 House and I don’t think I’d seen that one before.

Nor did I realize that this image, that you see all the time on the interwebz, if from House of all things!

Have two book recs, though (both about doctors, as it turns out).

My Own Country, by Abraham Verghese.

Even though I'm going to be out of town from basically March 23rd to April 1, I signed up for remix again. Possibly stupidly.

for all you past, present or future grad students out there--and those who love them :)



Does it help to know that the guy is now researching a malaria vaccine?

The good thing about a couple of days of 102 degree weather? When a few drops of rain bring the temperature down to 92, it feels positively autumnal.
