So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Life Update
Sunday. 3.20.11 11:56 am
1. I am finishing my thesis. It must be finished by the end of March. Hence the slow-down of updates on Nutang.

2. I have set up a little home-office for myself where I remote desktop into my office computer and wear nothing but sweatpants and sweat shirts and eat nothing but okonomiyaki and cookies for days at a time.




3. I have pretty much finished four of my six chapters. The sixth chapter is just a synthesis chapter, so I will probably be writing that at 3 am the day before I have to print it out. I am halfway through my fifth chapter.

4. My favorite spacecraft ever, MESSENGER, successfully went into orbit around Mercury on St. Patrick's Day. We flew down to Maryland to where the mission control is so that we could be there for the orbit insertion. We flew down at about 3 pm on Thursday and then flew back at 7:30 am on Friday. We made posters about various aspects of Mercury and there was all kinds of SWAG including a poster with a graphic on it that I had made a couple of years ago in MS Paint when I was bored at a team meeting. I was not given credit. :p There were also delicious cookies-- I probably ate about seven.




This was the sweet graphic that I made in Paint. "Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington" pshaw.

You can learn more about MESSENGER here.

5. My bicycle finally melted out of the giant snowbank where it has been frozen for the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, it was revealed that when the plow piled all of the snow on top of the bike, it also bent the front wheel in a serious way. Now the bike is ruined. I really like having a bike, but I don't want to buy a new one since I'm moving in a few months and I can't take the bicycle where I'm going. Thanks, Brown University.



6. I'm still practicing Javanese gamelan like mad. My Russian scientist friends said that they would come to my concert in April if I reminded them.

Okonomiyaki looks like those cinnamon pizzas some chain joints have, except with green stuff on top.

Also, is it possible you could fix your bike at all? Or get a new wheel or something? I imagine that part is replaceable...

Not to be a jerk, but I laughed out loud when I saw the photo of your bike.
WHAT A COOL INSTRUMENT. Will you post a recording from the concert?

re: Oh, yeah, it was no big deal. Once I sat down and took a couple swigs of water, my hearing came back and I was right as rain. c:

Oh dear Zanzi...
The bike predicament is quite intense....intense like your MS paint skills.

Oh my gosh I want to try okonomiyaki!!! Wher do you get it?? Do you intensely cook it yourself while intensely remote connecting to your office computer??

Best of luck on your thesis, bar of zanz

Okonomiyaki looks sooo tasty! Both of those food pictures makes me want to eat. And I really like the picture of the moon.
» LostSoul13 on 2011-03-21 05:31:50

That diet looks awful unhealthy!
That really is a sweet graphic. I'm sorry you didn't get more awesome credit.

re: I work security at the hospital. So I have to walk around looking for anything that appears out of the ordinary. During the day there are places that we can't go, simply because of patient privacy issues. Such as surgery wings. So on weekends and nights, we take advantage of having free reign over where we're allowed to patrol. That particular night, it just got to me.

quit using me as an excuse to goof off on your thesis.

WILL YOU TEACH ME TO RIDE A BIKE

CAN I HAVE SOME COOKIES
» undisputed on 2011-03-23 07:54:11

Haha, when I made the frosting, it turned a much lighter brown because of the butter/sugar I added. You're right though, it is totally delicious. Once you start eating it it's hard to stop. :0

And thank you! That's the most enthusiastic compliment I've gotten so far. XD
