Having eaten something containing those eggs mentioned yesterday and not experienced any symptoms of food poisoning or new-found super-mutant powers, I am forced to conclude that, perhaps, those eggs were "incredibly edible" after all.
Am running an experiment right now that'll go for at least another 15 minutes. Class at 10am, interview after that, class again after that, which means no time to stagger anything else with my current run. Which means I'm currently excavating my inbox (always fun).

Now it's 14:20. My last stats course is over, the final is take-home and due on Saturday. I would like to take the time to mention that I made another attempt to locate hand sanitizer yesterday at Longs Drugs, but couldn't find it. When I asked the staff I was told that the store was out. I blame the swine flu. (I also somehow suspect that no matter how many "antibiotics don't work against viruses" posters the MDs hang up, people are still going to think of antibiotics as the cure-all.)

Now it's 18:20. I'd like to say that the interview with my soon-to-be advisor went well. By "well" I mean "he spent an hour talking at me about potential projects and then said 'welcome back' and asked me what kind of pippets I like to use so the lab can set aside a set for me". He also managed to work in "a funny thing happened on the way to the forum" into one of his explanations, which I think Annie would appreciate.
I signed up for the summer reading program on campus, which goes from now till the end of July. I know we tried to do that reading thing together, Lucy, but it petered out after a while and, well, I think it will go better since I had to fill out paperwork for it. Meanwhile, I grabbed a copy of BELOVED from the library (oh yeah, that's the catch -- only the books from the campus library count) and managed to be completely distracted by it in the five minutes while I was at the bus stop (good and bad, I'll need to watch myself). My original pick was GRAVITY'S RAINBOW, but it's a bit long and I feel that I should refrain from picking up anything that's over 350 pages before spring quarter ends. (Summer, even if I don't get it off, at least will mean a lack of reading and papers from classes.)
Discovered today: carrot juice is bearable if there's enough stuff mixed with it that you can't tell there's carrot juice in the mix.

The "incredibly edible" eggs sound like a risky advertising ploy that depends on people having a sense of humor, but I dunno. *I'm* very amused by it though, so thanks whatever management team came up with it.
Good luck with the reading program! I'm sorry our attempt didn't quite work out.
