shake, rattle, and shoot...

hello from Chicago,
I am currently at APS (advanced photon source) shooting crystals with the brightest xray source in the US, except that their currently is a problem with the hutch and we can't open the shutter. This explains why I am updating my blog at 2am Saturday morning. The trip has been pretty good so far...save the wandering goniometer and this little vacuum pressure problem. The best part of the trip, however, has to be the fact that I experienced my first earthquake!
I awoke at around 4:30am by the sensation someone was shaking me, but upon opening my eyes noticed that Chris was still asleep and I was still shaking. This utterly confused me since I am not used to moving back and forth on the x, y plane. Being extremely groggy, I decided that I must be dreaming and immediately went back to bed, thinking that this couldn't have just occurred. As soon as I woke up the next morning I thought of the shaking, which meant that I probably wasn't dreaming because I normally don't remember my dreams. I opened my computer and saw on CNN that indeed, there was a 4.5 richer earthquake with an epicenter around 350 miles away.

I love being a Red Sox fan.

I was reading the daily sports news when I ran across this gem:
This is pure freaking brilliance. This is going to piss off so many Yankee's fans it isn't even funny, and I am willing to bet, if the floor can be ripped up, it will be.
The Sox/Yankees rivalry is the best in American sports and this is just making it better. I suggest reading the article because it is pretty funny.
Red Sox fan adds high-jinx to Yankees rivalryThe title obviously piqued my interest and I was not disappointed. Apparently a Red Sox fan who is also a construction worker in New York is working on the new Yankee Stadium and without telling anyone put a Red Sox t-shirt in the concrete under the visitor's locker room.
