Miss me?

(This goes with the post below- I still can't seem to post an image -and- text from my iTouch at the same time)

It's been a busy summer and when I'm not at work I don't seem to find the time or inclination to sit at the comp. And since I got my neato iTouch, I rarely feel the need to, since I can check email on the run. As a former gamer-chick who used to -live- on and for the computer (I built it just for gaming!) this is probably a healthy change. Since I lost 200lb almost two years ago (I'm referring to my ex, all 200lb of him), I've been enjoying a more active social life, a more active sex life, and heck -a more active life in general, and I really don't have time to putz around on the comp, nor do I need it for an escape. Hooray!

So I'm posting from my iTouch as i'm  snuggled in bed (with the dog). And yep, it's one of those lame "sorry I haven't posted in awhile" things, directed at all three of my readers.

Now to see if I can post a picture. This us a shamelessly stolen image of drawings of copepods, which I am posting in celebration of the fact that in addition to my regular day job ( non-biology) I was given some part time work on a project where I get to be a biologist again. I'm happy to be back in the field, even if its just part time.

Side note: I've often thought if I were ever to get a tattoo it would be a copepod, probably on my hip. These are a bit fancy though. My other choice would be some kind of logarithmic spiral form, like a nautilus or ammonite. There's a post about that here somewhere but I'm too tired to figure out linking it, and reader DaveDownUnder is going to scold me for being up so late.

Ni-night *yawn*

Hmm

Haven't mastered this yet, I guess. Here is the text that was supposed to show up with the picture below:

Here's what the drive home was like tonight around 7:30pm on Farmer's Loop. For those not from here, if there were no fires it would be daylight & clear skies. It's gone from smoke to ash in the air (and all over everthing else). There was even an advisory on TV about air quality.

Ick.
