Discovery is hosting this huge self-help-through-neuroscience convention in Philly this week. Gazzaniga will be there, and it will be free, so if you can make it there by 7p this Thursday it would be pretty cool to meet him. Levitin will also be there, and apparently he’s got a new book out. Personally, I felt that the logic behind his evolutionary explanation of music from his last book was quite incorrect, but it is also true that I have yet to see anyone else attempt to explain why I am stuck on all the crappy R&B that came out when I was a kid:

I can only be grateful that my bus driver was prescient enough not to put on a radio station that played NSYNC.
That apple pie I made at 1am? Apparently someone who ate a piece wants to marry me now.
*sigh
Kids these days.
In other news, I will be running some crazy hours in the lab this week, my advisor wants to change my procedure mid-study, grad apps are due even sooner than they were before, I’m looking into making a deal between my lab and EVMS, I’m drinking coffee, I have half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and I’m wearing sunglasses.
And I expect results. Keep your fingers crossed. As Henry VIII famously said, “I like [disappointment] not”.
