The Ramblings of a Cuteasaurus

Some things I forgot...

I found this super-cool article about how Ebola works...it's not very long and there is a nice picture. ;)

London gets the 2012 Olympics...I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's better than Paris or Moscow...but I think I was kinda hoping for NY. Of course, maybe this is just a good excuse for me to go to London again.

In other news, my job is working out well. There is plenty of "policy" for me to work on and I went to a hearing last week. Let me tell you...there were a couple parts that were hilarious. I won't put the details here, but suffice it to say, drug companies were embarrassed and I giggled on the inside. ;) I finally got paid, but since nothing ever works out quite right lately, they sent the check to South Dakota. Shesh.

I went to the post office this morning and it's actually the first time I've done so since I've been in Baltimore. I went to the big one near my med school campus (even though it isn't super-close to where I live now) and let me tell you...it was the nicest Post Office I'd ever seen. There was even a Snack Bar inside...and MANY Stamp Machines. Seriously, this must be where ALL the cool kids hang out...there is room for hundreds of them! I look forward to seeing you all there. ;)
Why did I go to the post office? Well, I'm glad you asked, I actually needed to send 2 packages. One was to my sister who is at the Science Camp I went to after I graduated from HS. It's a different sort of camp than one might expect since it's actually quite physical. You do a lot of running, biking, hiking, mt climbing, etc. and it turns out, my sister doesn't really do those things...so she doesn't own any tennis shoes. So, I sent her mine since they're broken in and super comfy. To one of my other sisters I sent a bunch of minis and some paints. Yeah...I know...super-geeky...but she's very artsy and I bet she'd be good at it.

In other geek news, I FINALLY tracked down some Sith M&Ms. The colors are really neat...but since I've never been a huge dark chocolate fan, I was not surprised to learn that I do in fact prefer the milk chocolate ones better.

And finally, Happy 4th of July and all that. Given my fear of loud noises, I'm sure you're not suprised to learn that it isn't my favorite holiday. I am close enough to the Inner Harbor that I could've seen the fireworks. However, I chose to stay inside and watch NY's on tv (how's that for irony Nikhil). I could still hear the explosions from outside, but luckily the building muted them enough to be "non-frightening."
