Dance your PhD

Oh, glorious humanity, to think up something this original. I saw a little news item about it last weekend and had to check it out.

Do you realize there’s actually a competition where scientists create and perform dances based on their scientific theories?

Please enjoy your Thanksgiving, and while you’re digesting, take a look at these.

    I wonder if this interpretive dance thing would work for an MFA thesis? Happy Thanksgiving!!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, TadMack and Lady T–and to everyone out there. I just got back from our dinner (wore pants a size too large–I’m so smart).

    I just watched an interview with Padma from Top Chef where she talked about how she stays skinny despite eating all that wonderful food during the competition. Turns out she doesn’t–stay skinny, that is. She said she gains about 10-15 pounds over the six-week period of the show. Sweet! Then it takes her another six weeks to get rid of all of it–going to the gym, eating mostly veggies, doing without the wine, etc.

    Isn’t it nice to learn that famous people are normal, too? So if we all ate a little too much today . . .

    Whatev. Back to the gym and the veggies. All is well.
