What a wonderful morning

Swam a mile in Aunt Karen's pool, played with Jamie (his new obsession is ears and while I am a big ear girl, having my nephew play with them isn't quite what I had in mind), spoke to BPD people and I am taking on another aspect of the project and they are essentially bumping me to senior staus on the project. I have to head into the lab shortly (first have to run some errands) to catch up before we run a subject tomorrow. I would love to get a pedicure before my date tonight. Other plans include compiling a list of all the activities I want to do before school starts in 2 weeks. (and of course sending out an e-mail looking for partners in crime) I am trying not to let it bother me that Tyson "unclicked" me on jdate (and resisting to urge to e-mail him to be friends (and I do think I could use his help on my reapplicatoin essays and website) - even though I really would spend time with him on that level but I know that if I am potentially interested in something else than it is a bad idea and if he wanted to spend time with me, he wouldn't unclick me). Another one bites the dust - trying to remember that he is totally unsuitable anyway and at 29 I probably shouldnt' be pursuing flings or dead-ends - not like I am emotionally capable of doing that regardless of my age.

In other news- the promised recommeneded reading/authors (off the top of my head)- Julian Barnes, Po Bronson, Amy Bloom, David Sedaris, Lauren Slater, Augusten Burroughs, Emily Jenkins, "Einstein's Dreams", "Asylum", Jennifer Egan, Dan Savage, Marian Keyes, Anna Maxted, James Frey (I still like him), Chuck Klosterman, Caleb Carr, Sholom Auslander, Pat Barker, Margaret Atwood, David Eggers, "Life of Pi", Ricahrd Russo, Elizabeth Wurtzel, Alice Sebold, Marya Hornbacher, Jhumpa Lahiri, Zadie Smith- some authors are more consistent than others, there will be more later as there are plenty of other authors that I have devoured that I can't think of at the moment. Just started Deception by Philip Roth and I am liking it.
