Things have been pretty slow in my lab these past weeks because I'm wrapping up the experiments that I was tasked with this summer, and we (ie Adam came up with it lol) dreamed up a new project for my last 4ish weeks. I'm optimistic that they'll go well!
In the meantime, I've been spending a lot of time with friends and it's fun to have a dependable presence like Aboni with whomst I can count on to entertain me in the evenings. We watched many movies including Midsommar last night at the movie theatre. Some SSEP friends are also here now which is fun!
ALSO, Aboni and I got our tarot read by Jackie which was interesting. There was one topic that kept coming up for me (which I will not discuss here) and the stars were very adamant that I act in a certain way... we'll see if that happens.

Now that I've done some updates, I'll get into the topic that I wanted most to discuss: the name of my tadpole.
So the poll claimed that Toad was the winner. 4/6 of you decided this.
The weird part is Tod got not votes, and I could have sworn that I marked that option. So I'm not sure if I dreamed that or what? Something is off is all I'm saying.
This being said, I'm here for democracy and listening to the people. So Toad it is.
However, I was with three other people and unprompted, they voted on Tod and I can't ignore this input either. On top of this, we rolled a die and the corresponding number matched with Tod.
So what I'm saying is we don't have to settle here.
The tadpole's name is officially: Toad "Tod" Poot Lovato.
Toad clearly has back legs now and I've secured a spacious fish bowl for him, so things are looking up. Hopefully he makes it because this parenting thing is harder than it looks. Good luck Charlie am I right?!

Here's a gallery of random photos I like from the past week :-)
I also implore you to check out this instagram account because they make the most beautiful drinks imaginable.
@aboni: no, the pleasure is all mine
@naoni: you're gonna regret saying that.....
@erin: I can tell you late :-) hehe but midsommar was pretty good! the director definitely has established a distinct style (just based on that and hereditary lol). The story was pretty weird but I was interested the whole time which is important to me !
Also welcome to the gang, toad "tod" poot lovato
:0 I do love those drinks they're amazing Also I really want to hear what this secret tarot topic is...omg You and aboni sound like you've been having a lot of fun!! How was midsommar?? I wanted to see it before I left but never found time!
Omg those drinks are soooo cute!! And I’m everyone is a winner for your tadpole’s name. Anyway, I hate that kinder egg you have: I want to destroy it @-@. You’ve done too many weird things with him for me to like him anymore ;P but i like the pic below him. It’s honestly a piece of art ;P
Love the pictures...and it has been an honor to hang with you and hear your tarot cards
