A Space Odyysey
I must be the worst blogger out there since I only write something every two weeks or something like that. Although if you think it’s the content that is more important (and I am sure you do) then I can easily be the best blogger, since nothing compares to my writings, even Orhan Pamuk who won the Nobel price last week.
It is hard to be a scientist, especially when you try to balance it with your personal life. I have been in Atlanta for the last week for the Society of Neuroscience meeting. I had a poster presentation, which went very well considering this was my first time presenting a poster at a meeting that big (~20.000 people). It was a very tiring but also a great week. I saw an old friend from Turkey whom I had not seen more than two years. It was incredible to see him again, hang out and all. He was a great host as well (I was on the other hand a very shitty guest, but that’s another story). I met great people along the way. I wanted to get to know some even more but the time was limited. We made plans to get together for Christmas though, I think they will all come to New Orleans. Delicious
I have been listening to Evanescence for a week now. The new album has been out for a while and I am loving it! The sound is great, you almost want to say it’s classical Evanescence but it is not. Back vocals are awesome (Lacrymosa), the bass is better than ever and Amy Lee is still one of the best female vocalists out there. Kudos to Evanescence, go buy it, put it in your iPod and listen to it.
Another music related topic is the last night’s concert by the ever-greatest Scissor Sisters. Oh my god!!! What a fucking awesome night it was. We started off with dinner at the house of blues. Great burger. Then we entered the venue. The venue was not too big, so whereever you stand you can clearly see the stage, which is awesome. They started playing around 10pm and continued for an hour. Did i mention they were great? Later on, we even saw two of the members out in the quarter
Now, I have to focus on my term-paper and my cancer make-up both due on Monday. It will be a hectic weekend, but hey, they usually are.
Baris, I still didn’t get the picture from the girl who took them. I will post it as soon as I get it
