Parental advisory.

Work is coming along well on the data analysis in the lab; I have settled somewhat into an ad hoc pattern of patching together various means of getting nice-looking results, recording that clumsy process into my notes then repeating and repeating until finally, one day, I sit down and convert the whole process into some concise bit of code as another piece in my program. I wonder if that's how the big boys do it. It doesn't matter. I am still trying to figure out how to load the plots that I was going on about the other day (the ones that I showed to my class). I think blogger just doesn't like PDFs but that's fine because I love them and that means more for me (like brussels sprouts). For now, please enjoy this picture of my favorite niece in all her classless glory.

Allison is in Kaktovic and now that the rushing stress of travel and anxiety of having so few people around (especially professors and fellow grad students for homework help), she sounds excited. Also, it is cold there.

It's late and I think I have come down from my Friday's adrenaline rush. Time for bed. I have a tummy full of delicious jambalaya.
