Running in Circles

Last night was awesome!

The falafel was great, and a professional dancer came to perform and teach. She demonstrated both Israeli folk dancing and belly dancing. I won't say anything about the latter item, except that the SCA guild has a long way to go! :-P The dancing was a lot of fun, and I was really hyper. (So hyper that I spent the time between dinner and dancing running around the square in the middle of the village.)

Today, I start on a new program in the lab (locating a sample within a larger image). In the afternoon there is a lecture titled "Forgetting to Remember or Remembering to Forget," which I plan to attend even though I have no idea what it is about. In the evening, some students will be giving lectures on topics of their choice.

I haven't been telling you the topics for lectures I've heard, so here's a list:
The Power of Asymmetry (Particle Physics)
Correlation Between Lung Cancer, Smoking, and DNA Repair (Medical Biology)
Experimental Demonstrations (Basic Physics, Science Education)

Also, despite my total incompetence, I managed to do my laundry yesterday (without ruining any of my clothes).

Tomorrow, we depart for Eilat.


And now for something completely random:

Dancing Kirby smilies!


Public Service Announcement:

Marriage is love.

Honestly, is anyone's marriage going to be ruined if marriage is not the exclusive right of heterosexuals?

I can imagine:
Conservative Person: "I knew my marriage had something special. I used to think it was love. Or possibly commitment. Maybe partnership. Or family. But when gay marriage was legalized, I realized that the only thing special about it was that only heterosexuals, like me, had it."

And conservatives are always talking about the "sanctity of marriage."
Stop complaining, n00b5!
