How come indeed...

Went to the gym today and they played Michael Jackson the whole time. Reminded me of listening to him before i really knew English all that well. I thought the song "gone too soon" was about someone who went to the sun. Heh.

I went to a website called http://www.anicechat.net/. You choose a nickname, get a person to chat with, and you can both click "terminate" at any time. This is the conversation I had:

I'm going to London today!

:D

I made a macro out of one of my baby pictures!

I have a new laptop! Actually, I had to borrow money from my boyfriend to buy it, but I need it to do proofreading and (hopefully) work on my ph.d application, so it's an investment more than anything. It's very nice, especially compared to my ooold one, which had been sick for a long time. What really pushed it over the edge was me accidentaly banging it into my knee as I lifted it onto my lap. After that, the network card was all wonky and it would shut down randomly :(

Also, finished Shadow of the giant earlier. Cried a bit.

One of the linguistics professors has a contact at the university hospital, so she took her students (and 3 former students, one of them me) there today to look at real human brains. Within the first 5 minutes, Laila almost fainted and had to leave, but the rest of us managed to not faint. Although, I did feel myself getting a little bit pale, and my hands were white. The smell was pretty gross too.

It was very interesting! He went over the brain in detail, and he also had a sliced-up brain so we could see the inside of it. He talked about lateralization of language and brain damages and aphasia, and we asked all sorts of questions. Very cool.

At the end, some med students came in, fetched some legs (!!!) from a box thingy and started dissecting them. We went over to have a look, and me and Anders were weirded out by the toenails. Then we opened another box to peek inside, which turned out to contain...human arms.

Then I had lunch.

Oh and P.S. brains are heavy!

My little brother came home from school (he goes to animation school!) on vacation and taught me to make banana&chocolate cupcakes!

( See pictures! )
Also, I have got a short term engagement as a lecturer at my university, as a substitute for my friend Laila. I'm going to teach syntax to undergrad students (it's a intro to linguistics class). I'm a little nervous but it'll be fun!

( New glasses yay! )

So I made dinner yesterday.

I år har jeg begynt å legge merke til noe jeg aldri har tenkt over før: masse trær i området her er dekka med noe som ligner på spindelvev, og når jeg sier dekka, mener jeg helt fullstendig innkapsla. Det er som om trærne har på seg tjukke strømper. Det er en slags sommerfugl som er ansvarlig (kalt heggspinnmøll), og den kapsler inn trærne for at larvene skal bo inni der og spise opp bladene. Trærne som er ramma kalles noen ganger spøkelsestrær fordi de ser så skumle og trolske ut. Utrolig nok dør ikke trærne; de kommer tilbake med nye blader på seinsommeren, når larvene har blitt til sommerfugler og dratt sin vei.


Masser av larver!

Det nye kameraet mitt viser seg å være fænsi på alle måter (unntatt én). Bevis 1:

Jeg har kjøpt meg kamera! Det gamle har vært ikke virkende i et halvt år nå, så jeg tenkte det var på tide. Det er en Canon powershot sx100, og foreløbig virker det som et greit kamera. Her er ett av de første bildene:

Sånn blei det seendes ut på kjøleskapet.

Lines baby blei født for ei stund sida, og i dag skal jeg besøke mor, far og barn. Håper den er søt, men hvis den ligner på Line, så er den vel nesten nødt til det. Jeg har også brukt over 600 kroner på bøker idag, men det var fagbøker, så jeg har ikke dårlig samvittighet!
