So I just joined Facebook. And I also belong to Twitter, Digg, Linkedin and MicrobeWorld. Would you call Netvibes one? Anyway, I’ve been reluctant about joining facebook because I have this impression that I have to be more proactive about being social. I have to acknowledge what “my friends” are posting and doing on there. For anyone following me on this blog, I’ve been at this for four years and haven’t broken a hundred posts yet (but soon). My just not chatty. So we’ll have to see how this goes.

So it’s just not that Obama is acting like Bush on certain things, it a bit more personal. What happens when you find out that people you admire are bat-shit fucking crazy? So I’m reading about a celebrity “atheist” who seems to me to hate science. Especially the branch of science that I love the most, my little buddies the microbes.
Obviously I disappointed that someone doesn’t live up to my standards. So now I feel like a little kid that whining that there’s no Santa. Because after all, that’s life, where you have to deal with crazy Aunt Tilda in the attic.

From the New York Times, asks questions about why there aren’t more women in physics. The usual about there being opportunities for women to have it all, career and family while on a tenure track. Also that women tend to fall away from physics before graduating with a BS. Speaking from my experience, getting to what I think of as the cool stuff of physics (string theory, astrophysics, etc.) you had to sit through the dull stuff. And I didn’t have enough of a passion for the subject to get farther than the dull stuff. That and I still have to work at math.

So I updated my resume and added a little youtube video page(with the help of my husband). Monday I start at my new job at Drug and Lab Disposal.

It has been 20 years since I graduated. And I have been following the news about my alma mater. So this gets me thinking that just twenty years ago, this play would not have been even considered. It also gets me thinking about the openly gay friend of mine. Although I don’t know how much of a friend I was, since I don’t say anything about the hateful things people were saying about him. It leaves me feeling like I didn’t do enough. I hope he has a life partner and is happy.
It also reminds me, when I asked why being gay was bad(I don’t quite remember the exact question). And the answer was the Bible says so. End of discussion. Of course being a closeted atheist, that wasn’t good enough. But I didn’t pursue it.

Something that I was pointed to and think the author hit the nail on the head. Needless to say I am an angry atheist.
