I have been wishing luck to micro (and you).

Paper: I do not remember if I told you I work with a species of fruit fly. We got (from databases) sequences of a fragment of DNA from flies of several countries, calculated some basic variability indexes, and suggested a possible history for the origin of the species and its spreading for the continent. I will not give more details here.

I am sure the shelter would welcome the food.
I promise to do a better post tomorrow, as I am too tired to human right now  :D

((((Regen))))
Beginning by the end...I love Leonardo, Mona and Lisa!
The kitten sounds so cute. I bet the whole family is all excited, with good reason. Kittens are just the best.
It is good that all is right with the weather and river around you. Here we finally had a few days of normal cold Winter days but since yesterday we are having cold nights and early morning and warm afternoons. It is supposed to rain today.

A paper I've sent has been accepted for publication. I am super happy  :)

Next week I will have several meetings and administrative things, quite boring.

(((((((Regen)))))))) Hi!
Glad to hear you had a good time in Austria!  :)
The museum sounds super weird but I read you said this is not all what there is there. You made me laugh about the hairs...hope is from the beard too. That reminded me I had a classmate (from high school) who is now a photographer who made a super-weird (for me) exposition with pictures related with the female condition...including the period. I actually think she exposed it in Austria too.
Great about swimming in the lake. Here Winter finally is normal, which means it is cold (not freezing cold, Buenos Aires is never that cold, but still).
You had told us about your cat dying, but I am super happy about the kitten news. Are your children excited? It is good that you will have more than one baby cat, so they can play with each other and not only with humans.
Well, I have to leave now. I have to collaborate in a few classes this semester, even when it is not my teaching semester See you around!

I am sorry to hear about that. Hopefully next week will be better.
We had a big storm today, with some streets flooded, a few trees broken by the wind (one of them totalled a parked car), things like that. Hopefully I had wisely decided to stay at home. Hubby had no real problems either as the storm was very bad in the wee hours of the morning and also in the afternoon, when he was safely at his workplace. By the time he had to come home, the rain has stopped. It was still windy but not too cold.
Tomorrow after work I plan to go to a sort of march against some of the things the presidential candidate has said. Luckily they are not forcasting rain.

Ohh, this weekend (Sunday) is Children's Day here, and I just saw that our cable service is going to offer the last Spider-man movie for free (the animated movie with Miles Morales). We are planning to watch it.

Yes, you were such a sweet kid  :)
Seriously, I love you (((((((((DC)))))))))))
How are you doing?
Here we are all in shock about who won the preliminary election, we will  see what happens in October.
Also, they are forecasting 27 C for today, which is super crazy, we are in the heart of Winter right now. There is raining a little and perhaps tomorrow the temperature will drop.

And it was completely shocking and (for me) really bad. But it is a primary, we will see what happens in October, in the "real one"

Hello Regen!
I think the movie will probably be boring for your girls, especially for micro.

That sounds great about Austria! Enjoy it
Tomorrow we will have the primary elections. I should be excited, but as I am pretty sure my option will loose, I am not (I am not going to say more as we are not supposed to talk about real life politics).

Yay! I hope you have a lot of fun.

We are having normal cold weather these days, but they are forecasting warm weather again for next week. It is incredible, around 23 C in August, they say. In July there was a day of 29!

I saw the Barbie movie! I liked it.

Hello there! How are you doing?
Here, all is good. I confirmed my teaching job, so I will have a salary for most of the dark times that lay ahead (elections are coming in my country!)
You made me laugh about the spoiler tag. Your younger self was so unobservant  :). But in your defense, I do not think you used that tag too much. You were mostly here and in the RPG, not so much in the discussions.
Do you know that the second Cinder Spires book is coming? November 7

DF Spoilers / Re: Fuego

Perhaps because I am a native Spanish speaker, I never had any doubt that it was someone telling people to fire (shoot) their guns, and that Harry had been silly for believing it was someone using "his" spell.

Harry must never, never, never visit Tierra del Fuego.

“The Archipelago was on fire, and it was my fault”

This made me laugh, because I remember once, many years ago, I was on a plane, coming back from Ushaia (the capital of Tierra del Fuego) and there was a man reading one Alera book. I had to bite my lip not to ask him if he was a true Butcher fan and if he was in this forum.

Yes.
But I do not think the Advice column has been very useful, generally speaking.

She is! I actually learnt that Lwaxanna was Majel Barret, the computer voice and Roddenberry's wife, before learning that she was Chapel. Besides, Chapel is blonde and Lwaxanna is a brunette, so I never realized they were the same person until I've read it. I am quite a trekkie, so now I am very used to the idea, but I remember I was flabbergasted when I learnt it.

That is funny about your neighbors! And I am glad you will have nice neighbors in the future.

I confirmed that my cousin is going to Brno! He is on the plane right now. He will spend a night in Madrid and then keep flying to Vienna. Then he will take a bus to Brno.

In other news, on Friday a colleague of my hubby, who has an avocado plant at home, gifted him (well, us) with 3 very, very big avocados. We spent the weekend enjoying avocado toasts, and we also had nachos with guacamole...I have a small container with an avocado "purée". And I still have a full avocado (but I think it is getting wasted).

Yes, I think that is city, the pronounciation was weird. In Spanish you don't really have a way to pronounce Brno, so I believe he said something like "Brun". He told me it is a place with many students. He is an Engineer and is going to be in an Institute which does language processing or something like that.

I do remember Christine Chapel from the original TOS. It was the main character played by Majel Barret, Roddenberry's wife. She also played the original Number One, who only appeared in one episode I believe. And an Orion. Of course, she later played Lwaxanna Troi and is generally the computer voice.
I have quite curly hair, so I could never dream with styling my hair like Chapel (Lwaxanna perhaps, now that I am older...)
