Bad Hair Day

Haven't drawn anything over the last few weeks... I can finally confirm that, contrary to popular belief, summer IS the most busy time of the year for faculty :s
Anyways, before we get into the crazy rush of back to school: yes, I did cut my hair short again. Oh, and colored too... ;) Ta ta!

Day dreaming

Can you actually dream in your dream while you're awake?
I am sure some of you remember how I was dozing off but still scribbling notes in class... and I would wake up and read my nonsense in dismay... I do not understand how my ears were positively listening to the newest implants literature while my hands were writing about castles and dragons...
Maybe we should start a double-blind prospective study.
It would involve subjects taking notes while listening to a soporific essay inside an MRI scanner.  I want to find a pathway to connect my ears to my hand in an automatic motion so I can day dream as much as I want ;)
The next step after that would be the pathway to memorizing while completely asleep ;)
Haha one can only dream. Have a good week everyone!

Work

So it was a long weekend here... And I just realized that there is something definitely wrong with how I spend my weekends...
Time to grab my bike and get some sun and fresh air.
And I also need a real vacation...
With that said, happy BC Day everyone!

Weather Problems

Be it extreme warmth or extreme cold, the result is the same: we take cover, do clothes management or stay inside. Sorry for my friends in Montreal, Houston and Baltimore who are fighting with the worst heat waves of the last few decades. Should I rub it in by mentioning it's a sunny 22C here in Vancouver? ;) Hang in there guys!

Research

Sometimes, doing research feels like a terrible quest... but it is so rewarding when you finally get to the end! Good luck to my friends about to defend their thesis :)
