I's Pow'ful Tired

Been singing a lot late with my hot new holiday acapella trio: Three Ladies Singing.

This is a project I'm extremely proud of and very excited that it seems to be going so well so far.

We have already gotten hired for an event which was my goal behind my promotion calendar.

I'm ecstatic that this is going so well!

Tofurkey Klein

I've been thinking that I actually have a lot to be thankful for this year.

For one thing, my face is almost completely healed and I almost have full feeling back and
almost no scarring.

Now for the cheese: I am also really thankful that I have someone so special in my life. It's kind of disgusting to say it out loud, but there, I've said it.

Accountability is such a rare and cherished quality for me.

So is such a big dick.

It Goes On

The dreaded conference is over.

It went very well thanks to no one but myself.

Needless to say, time to keep it moving.

More later...

It's A Subatomic World, After All...

My face is well on the mend, thanks for asking.

Who else is guilty of letting your job completely takeover your life?
I have not been good about blogging, and I have the National Nano Engineering Conference 2008 to thank for that.

What's that? Never heard of the NNEC, you say? Well allow me to elaborate:

The National Nano Engineering Conference 2008 (NNEC) is the premier event focused on current and future developments in engineering innovations at the nanoscale, as well as the commercialization of nanotechnology. The NNEC returns to Boston on November 12th-13th at the Boston Colonnade Hotel. Click here.

The 2008 NNEC will include technical presentations and exhibits from companies leading the nanotechnology industry and will feature concurrent sessions covering Aerospace & Defense, Bio/Medical, Electronics, Advanced Materials Business, Energy & Environment.

The Nano50 Awards will also be presented during the conference, showcasing the top innovators, technologies and products in nanotechnology. This year's dinner presentation will be given by Cherry Murray, Principal Associate Director for Science and Technology, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Murray will discuss how the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, the world’s most powerful laser, will be commissioned in spring 2009.

What Do You Call A Bunch of Lawyers at the Bottom of the Ocean?

A good start.

But seriously folks, I've been considering suing the city for what happened to my face.

I know, gorgeous aren't I? Luckily I only looked like that for a week. I'm pretty much back to normal, except now I look like I had a fight with a tanning lamp and it won.

Back to finding a lawyer, I called up The Cochrane Firm. I got there a little early since I am perpetually on time. They saw me 20 minutes late in my 60 minute lunch hour. I was already irritated. Then this perfect fucking nobody bitch seats me in a conference room and starts launching questions at me without even so much as bothering to introduce herself.

Even more annoying, many of the questions she posed were asked by her colleague the night before. She then asked me if I were in school. I replied that no, I was 31, to which she rudely responded, "Just because you're 31, doesn't mean your not in school." I told her I had heard enough at that point and left.

Turns out she was only some dumb assistant, OBVI.

See You Next Fall

I got completely laid out while biking. I hit a pot hole and flipped over my handle bars; bruised my face something awful - multiple fractures (but no breaks, amazingly enough).

Now I just look like a burn vicitm, with sections of fleshy pink stripes across my face. Somehow my iPod, helmet, and bicycle made it through unharmed; not the bell that was on my bike, however.

My acumen is less than satisfactory, in my opinion. That is, I find it lacking - though I'm trying to give myself time to heal. I often find myself struggling for the right words, where once they used to come easily.

I had, after all, a mild concussion. I don't remember losing consciousness, but I definitely did a few times. I do remember flashes of the gurney and the emergency room. My one eye is still droopy, besides. I still wonder if I gave a peep show since I was wearing a skirt when I flipped over my handlebars.

First We Burn It, Then We Stab It

What I'm describing in the title of this blog is my left index finger.

About a week ago I was making home fries in my cast iron skillet. One of my girlfriends accidentally set fire to one of two hot towels I own and the one hot towel was not adequate for my needs.

The burn left from the scorching first formed into a water filled blister. Now it looks as though some type of rat, or other rodent, has been gnawing upon it.

In the midst of all this, I attended a BBQ for the Labor Day holiday. I decided to make shish-kabob with chicken, peppers, onions and fresh pineapple. I carefully tried to avoid the noxious burn, which I did successfully.

In my painstaking care to steer clear of my existing wound, I also managed to stab myself with the wooden kabob stick. Luckily, the splintery tip of which was loosened from my flesh when soaking my finger in salt water, as suggested for my burn.

Why is it that once a part of the body is hurt, one cannot help but to further aggravate it? Or is it that you don't notice how much contact a part of the body has on the daily basis: you never notice how many there are of a certain car until you start thinking about buying that particular vehicle.

Once in the sixth grade I fell on top of my bicycle while walking it. I wound up having to get six stitches in my ankle. I can't ever remember banging my sore ankle more.

The main point is that it's not a good week for my left index finger. Healing is slow and painful, not to mention aesthetically displeasing altogether.

More news at 11.
