I should show you my mad scientist hair

(Disclaimer: Brian told me I should push publish)

Monday night at 9PM. I'm still in the lab. Since I'm just a baby evil genius in training, I've done the same thing about a million times in the past three days, with minor adjustments. I was thinking, "Oh, it will never work, I'll just check it one more time and go home" Lo and behold! It is working! Heavenly choirs of angels are singing. Therefore, I must stay and finish the next part of the experiment tonight. HOWEVER, I'm feeling rather chipper because when I go to report to the big head boss evil genius tomorrow, I have something to report. Hopefully enough so he won't drop me through the trapdoor I know he has in his office.

OK. On a more related note (related to what?) I'm thinking I need to create science quilts for girls. Get them started early, no?

Oh, and yes, we do go a little bonkers when we stay late at work. No worries, I should be back to normal soon enough. Now, if I just plug this in here and that in there....zzzzt...it's ALIVE!

(back to your regularly scheduled programming)

Owwwoooooooooo!


We don't have any neighbors with dogs, so I have to assume that the howling at the moon last night was from werewolves. Err, wait... werewolves would be in human form under a full moon, right? Anyways, we'd seen some four-legged mammal tracks in the snow in our yard over the last few weeks, which I supposed was probably from a coyote or fox. I never bought the dubious reports of a mountain lion roaming Boxborough a few years ago.

This is a (poor) picture that I took last night without a tripod. Why does the moon always look smaller in pictures than in real life?

We have some ice.

And some icicles. Just some little ones.





Also, Super Margot! (Yes Adam, she needs a cape, I'll get right on it.)
