Cleanliness is next to workliness?

My living conditions are always improved when I have a presentation coming up--I always end up taking "breaks" to clean everything in sight. I've ripped up my 10-month backlog of credit card offers, and made my bed, but most importantly swept all the dead flies off the floor of my three-season porch.

This is key, because it's mid sixties here today, and I have needed to read, but have wanted to do so outside. My bedroom is quite small, but I have this wonderful three-season porch which is attached to it. It has glass shutters, so yes, it's drafty in the fall, but right now I'm fully enjoying the greenhouse effect AND I can here the birds and the neighbors if I want.

In recent news, I just saw Sin City last night, and it was FANTASTIC. I mean, if you don't like comic-books, you might not like this, because it really is a comic-book movie. It will seem a bit to arty and stilted. But the violence? damn.

The other big recent happening is that I will be presenting in class on tuesday, and it's hit me that this is (in theory) the last class-presentation I will have to give ever, since I should really be done with classes after this semester. It's one of those small revelations. Done? Really? Finally? I've been in classes for what, nearly 18 years?

Soon, as in April 17th, I'll be heading out the ASM Beneficial Microbes Conference in Lake Tahoe! Sarah and I are going to try to find the Reno Sheriff's Dept., in honor of "RENO 911."

Ok, enough blogging-related procrastination. Off to work or dinner or something not this!
