(no subject)

So I got a verbal "Yes" on my first round of funding. Hopefully, it should be making a dent in my bank balance Wednesday or Thursday, at which point a third of it will rapidly disappear to past-due bills.

Then I can start worrying about my second round of funding!

I tell ya, one of the annoying things about self-employment, especially waiting for funding, is the weekends and holidays. Strange thing to say, after all the work it takes, it'd be good to get time off (and I certainly enjoy it), but when you're waiting...the weekends are just days that things don't get done.

One good thing I found, though. Since I'm in penniless-mode, I've noticed it's a good thing to be between two apartments. It was 38 (3) degrees all day today, but my apartment was 75 (24), even though the thermostat was set to 70 (21). Gotta love being a heat parasite!

Send in the clones

Severino Antinori, a controversial Italian fertility doctor involved in separate human cloning projects, said he thought the report of the second clone's birth was as fake as the first.

"This news makes me laugh."

Ah, you're the epitome of medical ethics there, Antinori. Are your "patients" laughing too?
