"The time has come to talk of many things...
of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings."
After a long period of not writing at all, here, in brief, are the hilights of my fall semester:
Dessert nights! Apple cobblers, pumpkin pies, chocolate tortes, ginger-cookies, and cream cheese swirl brownies. And of course, good friends and good times.
Failed eggnog turned rice pudding. I highly discourage anyone from trying this.
Strange, bizarre, and yet enlightening conversations about briefs, boxers, and their contents. Just thinking about them makes me shake my head and chuckle.
Paper accepted!! "Developmental Expression Pattern of FoxJ1.2, FoxJ2, and FoxQ1 in Xenopus tropicalis." Gene Expression Patterns: A section of MOD.
Hunting for egg tarts, mahjong sets, and kung-fu shoes in the San Francisco Chinatown and soup in a sourdought bread bowl lunches.
Mahjong nights. Come to think of it, they were mostly afternoons.
Gregoire's -- particularly their crispy potato puffs. Unlike the failed eggnog rice pudding, this is highly recommended if you're ever in Berkeley. It's a little hole in the wall pseudo-French place on Cedar and Shattuck.
Mark Morris's "A Hard Nut." A twist on the traditional Nutcracker ballet. They kept the Tschaikovsky and went with a new storyline. A beautiful princess's face was mutilated by the rat queen as a baby, and the only way to regain her beauty was for someone to find a specific nut, one which was really hard, and then find someone who could crack it. With his teeth. One of the characters was a dentist with a very large, intimidating wrench. The choreography for this ballet was quite interesting, if the dancing itself was not exactly spectacular. One of the things that made me do a double take was that the snowflakes and tulips were predominately male while the rats were predominately female. A nice role reversal there.
REALLY fat, REALLY aggressive squirrels. The obesity of Berkeley squirrels has reached new and breathtakingly high heights. I saw the fattest squirrel on the (white) steps of Sproul the other day. It practically had rolls of fat spilling around it. Such fat squirrels seem rather odd on a campus where most people are thin.
Professor Urnov's polemics on science and society issues. His are the most interesting lectures I had all semester, and perhaps in the entirety of my college career thus far. And good accent too.
Ringu. I may never again be able to walk by the well by Safeway without feeling a chill.
So long for now,
Vivian
