New Year, New Decade, New You?

I rarely make new year's resolutions, but seeing how I get weekly "you haven't written in your blog for AGES" comments, I decided to to resolve that I'm going to try to post more and consistently throughout this year.

But as most resolutions, this will be broken at some point.

Eh... at least I'm honest?

ANYWAYS, Happy New Year, New Decade, New Job-title! No, I don't have my dream job as of yet, but this is the year of a bunch of first and new territory. The first being that 2010 marks the first year in 27 years that I will not be enrolled as a full time student. I say this with a cautionary air as I've been eyeing some photography and sign language courses. Right now hockey and job hunt trumps those, but who knows in the twilight months of 2010. So perhaps a night-course student in the fall, but for the moment, I'm enjoying not worrying about essays, reports, and exams.

My contract of my casual job has been officially extended til' June, so I continue my hunt for the post-doc. It seems to be on the minds of everyone I talk to. I'm not sure if it's out of concern for my well-being or rather "what else do I say to the scientist?". Yeah, I'm a geek, but an informed geek. I have interests outside of geekhood peeps. Anyways, I look, I hunt, I apply, I wait. Nuff said.

The first two months is hockey central for me. January alone I have 19 games. These are scheduled games and not including pick up hockey that I'm an on-call goalie. I get a lot of those emails as well. It's just the luck of the draw that I'm free that night OR that the games are at least 4 hours apart.

Plans for this blog... I like the music tabs, so expect more of the same. For Something Sciencey Sunday, I'm going to try once a month, maybe Something Sciencey Second Sunday (there you go Claire!).

To reboot things, a lil' Red Hot Chilli Peppers and their "Roller Coaster of Love". This was the "official unofficial theme" for the Shanty Raidio group. Whenever I'm having a good work day, I think about this song and the Disc Jockeys who made even the scientist smirk in front of the beakers. Enjoy folks!
