On Friday or so I finally got the Alzheimer's translation done. Today is intrathecal clonidine day, and I haven't even touched the online medical dictionary instructions yet. Every time we workshop a translation for SciTechMed, we end up getting through more of it than the prof thought we would, and then we end up with another translation to do for the following week. Hopefully these instructions are the end of it. We've done (counting on fingers) fractals, jet pump instructions, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, instructions for an irrigation system, liquid crystals, chemical mechanics of Alzheimer's, summary of a study of intrathecal clonidine, and now the dictionary instructions. The first five of those are done and handed in, and only the first two have come back. The Alzheimer's and the clonidine are due tomorrow, and the dictionary instructions are being workshopped tomorrow. If we're going to keep putting in work like this, I want some feedback, dammit. I haven't had any since the third week of the semester.

And my printer, after going through more printing this semester than any semester previous, has run out of ink again. Since Kinko's and the laundromat are in the same building, it pretty much makes sense to go do laundry and buy ink so I can then come home afterward and print parallel texts. I could go argue with the laser printer in the lab, since parallel texts are a perfectly legitimate use of that printer, but that printer is almost always broken when needed. If I ever get rich off translation, I'm buying the grad lab a new printer.

I seem to be working my way around to being grumpy. I should probably go out and run errands (fresh air and exercise and all that).

Oh, I'm in trouble. I've discovered the Kent used CD store. This time I managed to be good, to the extent of $14 for three CDs, so now I finally own a decent recording of Stravinsky's Firebird, and Pavarotti singing various arias, and a collection of Mozart overtures. I seem to be in a classical mood today.

I'm also in trouble because I'm firmly convinced that I need to own the music for at least one Cirque du Soleil show (Varekai, to be specific).

And I did get ink for my printer, and printed out the parallel texts and the final version of the clonidine study. Now for the dictionary instructions. Having new music to work to is always good.
