This is my third Update page open. One's Links of the Day (or Weeks) and the other is another meta of an Ongoing Post. Because I'm a freaky pack-rat, 's why. I realize I'm been utterly suckety at posting recently, but honest to Pete I've been busy. Plus, having those Update pages open and incomplete sort of sucks the life out of me.

I'm just now having supper**, 'cause we had a House Meeting, wherein us flatmates discussed annoyances and tasks. That started at 8:30 pm. Most of it was delightful chatting, resulting in my mentally exclaiming, "I love my flatmates!" (Well, except for the stint of, "Don't leave, I want to smoke a cigarette! Don't want to smoke it alone!" which to me translates as, "Sit and inhale carcinogens! I demand it!" without so much as an "Do you mind if I smoke." But maybe I'm being particularly grouchy because my clothes still stinks like a giant ashtray from hell thanks to this weekend's activities. Whe, long parenthesis.) I do not love the firealarm, which is beeping, even when the battery's taken out. So I'll be having a restless and nervous night, full of beeping. Le suck.

What else have I been doing? Been editing my draft, occasionally spazzing out 'cause I've got say 2 articles which are Courchamp et al. 1999 and I didn't distinguish between them in the draft. So now I need to go through 'em and figure out what info came from which. In general, though, it's pretty good. I'm also thinking of putting in some pictures (See previous post's Links of the Day), 'cause pictures are neat.

I also realize I haven't posted my pictures of Belgium (or Tulips), but I swear, I'm going to do it. I even tried uploading them over the weekend, but 1) inernet death and 2) photobucket death.

I don't quite know what I'm going to do with myself this week, TV-wise. I mean, there's no Lost or Doctor Who, and I've gone through the finales of all the shows I used to watch. (Well, except CSI, which is tonight's viewing.) My first Bones viewing in ages, and it starts off with Booth's funeral. I was ready to hit someone (until matters cleared up a bit). 'Cause I love Booth, y'all.***

Meme c/o lienne:

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different Same

And because the meme's being a jerk, here're my results: "Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with."

** The bad: moldy-tasting bread and sad salad that's been sunbathing this weekend. The good: cheese, chorizo and yogurt with maple syrup.
*** Yes, I hate that that just rolled off the tongue fingers.

w00t! I have a Canadian accent:
"Canada. You probably get irritated when British people and Europeans think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make a mistake like that.

If you're not Canadian, you're either a Minnesotan, or you're a Westerner who over-thought some of the questions on the quiz."

Ahh, I can understand about the cigarettes thing! My dad is like a chimney so eventually it becomes too much :/ Don't know what I'm going to do in Turkey (the land where everyone smokes, including all of my aunts, one uncle and all of my cousins - even the young'uns).

woohoo pictures!!

i'm glad you like your flatmates. that's a welcome change, eh? what do you mean by flatmates, though? is there a shared living space?

going back through a paper to insert proper citations is sucky. having to examine the actual sources to see what citations you need to insert is suckier. this was the point at mcgill where i may have made shit up. ahem. so good on you for being properly academic and master-y of biology.

Flatmate = roommate - apartment buddies. We each have our own room, share kitchens (where one is living-room-esque) and outdoor space (roof space ftw!).

As for references, they can go die in a fire right now. *sick of them*
