Anyone on my flist intrigued by all this Band of Brothers flailing but hasn't gotten around to watching it yet? Borders is having a 50% off sale on the DVD set! :DD Use this link to get a promo code. Valid TODAY ONLY at the website, so hurry! /sales pitch

Seriously, if you've got any inclination at all to see this, DO SO. It's been life changing for me, pretty much literally, but it's also just an exquisite experience of art and humanity. I promise you won't regret it. :)



On an entirely different note, I just got a super sweet compliment. My post-doc just told me that she thinks I have "good hands", and that it's something she noticed while I was rotating here! I was slightly boggled, because honestly I think I have rather clumsy hands sometimes! As a scientist, having "good hands" is invaluable - it determines whether your experiments even work, many times, and ultimately whether the results are reliable and useful for publications. So as far as compliments go, that's a really really awesome one, and an excellent confidence booster. :D

Heee, YAY! I have been rolling around in Easy Company love ever since I marathoned the whole damn thing in one night with my friends in December. SO MUCH LOVE. *____* I also adore GenKill, though I don't have nearly the same encyclopedic knowledge of it as I do of BoB!

The uniforms are pretty cute, it's true. BUT I'M MOST FOND OF THE BROTHERSHIP. They love each other so muuuuuch. ♥____♥

Are you watching The Pacific??

no! i haven't been able to find it online and i'm living away from home so i don't have my beloved bbc :( i've heard good things though! that it wasn't as good as BoB, but really, it's unfair to expect that level of greatness from anything.

gk is pretty amazing! i pretty much trust david simon to do amazing things. i'm saving treme for summer viewing!
