D and I take turns for washing the dishes. I know he hates it but I ask him to do it anyway, because I’m kind of bitchy. And he does it because he’s kind of sweet. A few days ago I asked him to please do the dishes and after a few hours of preparing [...]
Since there are quite a few people reading this blog and most of them are my friends I decided to make use of my position as blogger/geneticist and tell you something about lung cancer and other cancers associated with smoking. 1. Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals, 69 of which ARE KNOWN to cause cancer [...]
During the last part of our trip to Gaspesie, D proved once again just how big a pyromaniac he really is. That particular night ended with a fire by the beach and I while I readily admit that sitting by the crackling fire, under the bright stars, lying on my back on the grass and [...]
So it seems that if D met the genie in a bottle and was asked for 3 wishes, one of them would probably be “send me on a desert island” and the next one would be “and I want a quadcore computer with me”. I would probably be wish #3. Maybe. A few days ago [...]
I came across this Etsy shop just a few minutes ago while searching for gift tags. And I must say I find it quite… how should I put this… inspiring! You know all those persons you wish you could send a kick in the butt as a Christmas present, but the rigors of society impede [...]
The list of places I lo-o-ove, that is! …because it took me completely by surprise. It was definitely not on my “cities to visit if you have $2000 to spare” list. My favorite architectural style is the gothic. And let me tell you, this place has plenty of that. Prague is called the city of [...]
You get to go to the most amazing places and you don’t have to pay for it! After a week in the surprising city of Prague I am still in a state of euphoric amazement – this city swept me off my feet! Not to mention the fact that I listened to some extraordinary talks [...]
A workaholic that I am a stayed indoors today although it was a SPLENDID autumn day: the perfect mixture of sunny and crispy air and smell of fallen leaves on the sidewalks [I could smell it as I opened the balcony door this morning]. D however ventured on a bike ride to the park. And [...]
My dears! I don’t have any exciting news about today. It’s exactly 10:45 pm and I am SO TIRED!!! I’m not going to bore you with the details of what I’m working on right now in the exciting field of genetics (!!!), although I’m sure some would really like to [I'm talking to you, Andie], [...]
In my last post I was mentioning a certain rear end-related conversation that took place this weekend. So let me embarrass you [and myself] even further by telling you about another intelligent conversation that D and I had this evening. I keep hearing this song on the radio. It’s a song I REALLY dislike. But [...]
