I'm in a good mood today, don't really know why, I was up at 9:30am (Egad!). Got the photo's back from last Friday and the week before. I don't think I looks too bad, make-up still quite pale though, of course it could just be the flash photography (Oh how vain...) ;)
Apart from that not too much happening, off to Sydney to run in the City-to-Surf and see Sarah (Yay!!!) so that will be great. Might check out hairdressers on Oxford street for places which do Hair Extensions, might be a good idea to find out how much it will cost (a shitload I bet), though I still find the idea of long hair quite appealing.
Whilst on the subject, I saw some photos from a while back when I had really short hair. I have to admit that in guy mode I definitely look more attractive with short hair. Of course I've been in Guy mode for the last 23 odd years, so I can't see why I shouldn't try out "Grrl-mode" and see which appeals most.
Still thinking about hormones, apparently according to one source (Blonde grrl called Heather I think) said that most Doctors who know what they're on about follow a set-up where you have to have been seeing a "shrink" for three months before they'll recommend you to an Endocrinologist. This could be a bit of problem, because I hardly have enough money to pursue my dreams, pay for accommadation, go on hormones and pay for a psychiatrist all at once.
Joachim (a friend of Peter M's) dropped by out of the blue to say hello to us all. Gidget got the biggest shock, but we were all pleased to see him. Had a fun night out, went to the Wig and Pen and then Macca's where we were spouting strine and getting yelled at by some crazy old lady. Heaps of fun, I didn't see him today before he went, he left lunch early.
My supervisor will be leaving tomorrow for three weeks in Europe, I have to make sure I catch him before he leaves. I just need to sort out the work which I need to get done. I know I have to get a whole heap of crystalizations done, but I HATE doing them. I can never get them to work. I guess I'll just work on the Tri-Yne ligand and writing up the experimental section of OMNO 16. Hopefully that will impress him enough. I made +8 grammes of Trimethylsilyl-Iodo-Benzene today (Yay!!!). So the Tri-yne should be within my reach provided I don't stuff up like last time (fingers crossed). Why is it that they call it Experi-"mental" work? I think I know now. ;)
Will have to ring Soba soon, I'd love to find out how she's settling into her new job. I hope she likes it, she deserves something nice after all the crap she's had to put up with (weirdo boyfriends included). ;)
Jules got his hours reset at work today, no more early Fridays for him anymore, still as long as he's got a job that's great.
Anyway, I've had a really good day, maybe I should try this "getting-out-of-bed-before-midday" thing more often.
