Slow week

Not much to post about this week- I've been busy preparing for a thesis committee meeting next week, and I really haven't done anything worth writing about, nor have I heard of any new interspecies friendships. Looks like the Nor'Easter is finally blowing its way out of town. Strong winds leading to strange occurrences seems to be a common theme in movies - The Good Girl, Volver, and The Holiday (not that I watched it three times last week or anything, no, that's impossible.) - so I was wondering if these winds of change (cue the Scorpions!) would bring some excitement my way, but alas, they only resulted in rattling windows and a shaking house.
