Dear Readers,
November 10, 2009, is a momentous occasion deserving of careful documentation in the anals of history. I, Debba, have succeeded in that triumph of life afforded so few fortunate souls- that sweetly searing thrill which trancends the doubts of even the most suspicious and wary of persons. For on that day, I saw with the help of science a marvel of God's genious to behold.
This experience all began with a tape measure. I found that my head, though small, contains a mighty electric machine. I was fitted with a red cap reminescent of a WW2 pilot's cap full of holes. The holes were for gel, and into those goopy puddles sensors were clipped- so many sensors as to create dredlocks of wire where I once had shimmering, long red locks. Then, with the flip of a switch...
...basically, I was plugged into a machine that scanned my brainwaves. So there you have it! I have a brain, and it works. It was so cool! I was helping Mike run a pilot of his study. I am officially a lab rat!
Debba
P.S. My super, stupendious, scintilating, scientific sister Squirt will be gracing me with her presence this weekend. So will my parents.
P.P.S. In other news, I have the best boyfriend on the planet. He took me to a chick flick and then to Chick-fil-A for my birthday. Last weekend he took me to Old Town Sacramento, and we looked at various shops including a miliner and a Victorian costume shop. We are planning an awesome cake for Thanksgiving. Plans for LA are firming up. Expect us Dec 19th-26th- I'll be staying until Jan 2nd. I am SO EXCITED about all of our holiday plans. Seriously. Best. Relationship. Ever.

Colorless green ideas
Hello readers! I know it has been far too long since I have made available my wit and charm for your amusement and edification. Wait no longer!
Highlights: I've been going to school, I've been going to church, I've been watching Dr. Who, things are going well at the lab, and my parents are comming to visit me for my birthday! I am planning social events! I am also sick again. :-/
Current Mood: relaxed
Details: School has been comming along. I am working on a paper for my syntax class on LFG and how it explains suprasegmentals in ASL, focusing on negation. I am 5 for 5 A's on Greek tests, including a midterm, and also got a perfect score on my SLA midterm. Good stuff!
I have been enjoying Midtown Friends these past few weeks. They have had several styles of service and each of them has been beneficial, and provide good fodder for conversation with Blake. The group tends to have dinner together after services and I think I'm going to start attending. Church is done early enough that I should be able to go for a bit and still get enough sleep.
Dr. Who is awesome- witty and evocative. If you have not seen it and enjoy science fiction...what are you waiting for??
I have found my groove at the lab. Currently that means coding signs for a database for an experiment. Today is an exciting day- we are filming the stimuli for a project in which I will be involved. I will be learning how to use Final Cut Pro and also how to do a little bit of programming.
Next weekend I will turn 27, and my parents and my sister will be comming to visit!!!!!!! I have a lot to do in preparation for their stay so I don't have to work the whole weekend, so I will be a busy bee this next week.
I am also working on my costume for the Dickens' Faire which, when completed, should be rather stunning provided I got all the measurements right, etc. If I have time I will make a fur-trimmed cloak to accompany it. :-D Blake and I will be going Thanksgiving weekend to the faire. He is also taking me to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra that weekend. I am SO excited!! Then in early December, we will be going on a double date with Matt and Rachel to Apple Hill. I will also be hosting a Chaunukah party, complete with latkes and dreidel, at my house after finals. Blake took time off work so he can spend a week at Christmas with me in SoCal!!!! We're working out trip logistics, but I am beyond elated that I get to share this special season with him.
I have a cold again, which is a bummer, but this too shall pass and hopefully not lead to bronchitis.
Time to code, so farewell, dear readers!
