A number of relatively minor things have happened this week, and while it's nothing to write home about, perhaps my avid blog readers would be interested?

I spent most of Wednesday and Thursday working on my presentation on magnetic actuation for my research group, only to find out Friday morning that there was not enough time remaining in our meeting for me to present the entire thing. In all likelihood, I will give my talk next Friday, instead. This is sort of a relief, in that I now have more time to prepare the talk (and pare it down in length), but it is also disappointing because I was quite ready to present this morning.

This past evening, I decided it would be nice to drink a beer or two, so I tried out a new beer distributor called Mellinger's on Semple Street in Oakland, just a couple blocks down Bates from Mad Mex. Mellinger's has an extensive selection of brews, including one of my favorites, Delerium Tremens, which was $88 per case. I ended up with a case of Shiner Bock, a beer that is rarely exported from Texas, for slightly less than half the cost of Delerium Tremens. At less than $2 per bottle, it's a fantastic deal by Pennsylvania standards.

Lately, Katy has been worrying about Oliver, her cat who meows often, seemingly because Dorian is gone. Katy remedied this problem by adopting a new cat, whom she named Eliza.

Dorian has been exhibiting the same sort of symptoms of loss lately, though not quite as severely as Oliver apparently was. Tomorrow (today, Saturday), I think I'll make my way over to Animal Rescue in East Liberty and choose a new friend for Mr. Gray. Perhaps a certain younger female tabby with silver coloring would do the trick. I'll keep you updated!

I also need to figure out the details of attending move-in day at MassArt with Taylor. September 2 is a Saturday, so this is certainly feasible.

That's all the news I have today!
