Geeze, I sound like that creepy little kid from Doctor Who…

Anyway, I’m finally here, Inpatient, at the NIH for the study. I’m sitting, well standing at any rate, in their oversized overalls with a “”Microdialysis” machine hooked up to me. Great fun.

*rolls overly long sleeves up for some relief*

Oh yeah, where was I? Oh, right!

Things here are pretty cool and they’ve just brought in dinner. I’m about to eat it. Zzzzz…. It’s apparently designed to see how my body responds to a certain caloric intake. If you like, says I. Incidentally, this is a post not done the lazy way. I actually logged in. How many calories did that burn, I wonder?

Someone’s apparently blowing bubbles in the courtyard just under my room window because a few of them keep flying my way. I’m going to investigate that, since it’s so much more interesting than anything I could possibly write here and then I’ll eat. Tra.

You sniveling little…

I was going through the catalogue of the Baltimore County Public Library system after reading about two authors I’d come across on Wikipedia while Wikiwhacking. One author, Octavia Butler, wrote a trilogy called Xenogenesis and…of course I wanted to snap it up as soon as I saw the synopsis. I won’t give it away but I will enjoy reading it. It’d be a nice change of pace from the books I’ve been reading lately on cannibalism and recipes. Anyway…

The other author, Iain M. Banks appears to have an interesting premise as well and, if you know me, you’ll know my motivation in reading his books. Aside from good Science Fiction.

The thing about the BCPL is this: We’ve got an electronic checkout and hold system and, to my amazement, I found most of the Iain Banks books checked out at every branch. Now, he’s either really popular (sorry if I don’t know this!) or someone’s being a book hog. Based on what I’ve read so far, I’m inclined to believe the former even if the latter also happens to be true.

Throw me some comments people. And candy. That’s always lovely.
