Quickie

Just a brief post, as California Eating is on her way over for a visit and then we're off to dinner and then tomorrow I'm at a ginormous international biotech conference followed by a fancy CEO dinner at a Todd English seafood restaurant.

I'm a smidge cranky, in part because of the general state of things -- brokeness, lack of outfit to wear to conference, lack of time or money to get new outfit -- but did want to share that I watched some crazy-ass badminton matches this weekend at MIT, including one with one of the best players in the US, a bald, tall, skinny, pale-ass Polish guy who lives in Alaska and who doesn't speak very good English. L wanted to find a way to set me up with him and she was mad when I said no.
