Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jog
July 27th, 2008 Posted in non music
Back from Woodstock this afternoon. Tired, and overloaded with food, alcohol and science. It was our lab ‘retreat’ if you haven’t been following the recent bitching. It actually turned out to be a far funner experience than the prep lead us to believe, despite the 8:30am rising and ten hours of daily science presentations. We still found time to grill and booze and play Wii way into the early-hours, and I fulfilled one of minor life goals of giving a science talk with a beer in hand (and six in the stomach)!
However, we all wish it was not Monday tomorrow. I doubt the lab will see much action until about midday.

How’s your French pronunciation? (You have to read it aloud and don’t worry too much about the sense…)
Tu marques et tu marques et
Tu bâilles, effet typique.
Heaume et gaine! Heaume et gaine!
Gigoté chic!
Tu marques et tu marques et
Tu bâilles, effet tac.
Heaume et gaine! Heaume et gaine!
Gigoté Jacques.

Yvonne,
I’m basically 100% sure that is the coolest thing I will see all week!
