The End of the Infinite

Crepe Flipping 101

Brace yourself in the doorframe and hope for the best. Tiago, my blog's biggest fan, shows us how.

Cap'n Leslie on the High Seas

We went sailing in the harbor today. All of a sudden the wind came up and there was something wrong with the sail, but Leslie kept the course and saved us from a watery death.

I Made the Beaker Cry

I had to do my lab job today. I weighed out the wrong amount of EDTA and had to discard the mixture. I drew a sad face on the beaker with the wrong stuff in it so I wouldn't use it by mistake.

Portuguese and the Peristaltic Pump

Carla and I started a beautiful collaboration today. She brought the cholera toxin and I brought the lipids. She showed me how to use this state-of-the-art peristaltic pump.

All Signs Point to MIT

Snack Bar

This guy always puts food in his mail slot. Is it a coincidence that the name looks like Snack Bar? In other news, why don't I ever get any mail? (hint, hint)

Happy Memorial Day

The Armonica Player of Arvard Square

She asked me to turn the handle while she played me some Bach. The armonica was invented by Benjamin Franklin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_harmonica

Every Dog Has His Day

Today was this guy's day at the Anime Convention.

Words Waiting to Be Found

A Good Day for Jet-trails

My mother would have loved it. I could see six at a time.

All-American Max

Max hung a flag on his freezer in lab. Only a couple of the Europeans made snide comments. Max said he'd "kick their teeth in".

Those Crazy Undergrads

Some sort of hack with a statue and something atop the dome. Why do they take the time to do this when they should be studying for finals?

My Ferrets Love Me

The ferrets keep me company at my desk. Irene, the person who sits next to me, loves them too.

Sad Post

This blog is meant to chronicle happy things in my life. And usually my days are full of happy things to post. But today during my church meeting, the building caught on fire from an electrical problem in the attic. Everyone got out and the firefighters put out the fire, but the church was destroyed. It was very shocking to see a building that you had gone to almost every week for five years, and one that you had been sitting in just a few minutes before, go up in flames.

Don't Mess with this Scientist

I got this sweet double helix tat from the vendor fair yesterday. Check out my bicep- it's HUGE!

Eva Commuting with Plant

Origami Butterfly

Hanging in the Stata Center at MIT.

Just What Boston Doesn't Need...

...more wind. I hate wind. It makes me crazy.

Good Morning, Boston

Besides after other redeye flights, I've only seen the sunrise once in Boston.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

And Happy Mother's Day too!

The Pie Master

My cousin Mary made the most delicious blackberry pie. She didn't even work the glutens up. Feels like summertime.

California Live Oak

We walked up to the dish at Stanford and passed by the radioactive cows. I wore my Cal shirt.

The Pink Elephant Flies Again

Beach day at Half Moon Bay. The kite was a present from Jane P. I keep it in my trunk at all times just in case...

My Culinary Tour of California

In 'n' Out Burger, check. Dutch Babies at The Original Pancake House, check. Enchiladas at La Fiesta, check.

You Say Birdie, I Say Shuttlecock

I made my mom play badminton with me in the backyard even though she has a broken toe and has to wear a little bootie. I'm such a nice daughter.

Dogwood and Compressed Gas Tanks

Ah, beautiful MIT campus. I walk by this every morning on my way to lab.

Lilac Trees in the Heart of Town

Sprinkled with rain. They smelled lovely.

The American Nerd

Seems fitting to have a copy of The American Nerd in the MIT library. But they also had a copy of Girls Gone Skank on the next shelf over.

Sidewalk Chalk Artists in Harvard Square

Redbud and Whitestones

Friday Night Max-style

We finally made it to Macaroni Grill. Kat is still working on her Ns and Zs.
