Watched Mickey 17 and yeah some parts were a bit uneven, especially the last 10 minutes felt a bit disconnected.
R Patz and Naomi Ackie acting were exceptionally good...loved their chemistry. Their relationship really was the heart of the movie

I have a feeling my boss is secretly a tr*mp*r because she hasn't said a single word about the funding cuts and everything that's happening.

Considering she herself is an immigrant and 90% members of the labs are visa-holders and green card citizens, it'd be ironically hilarious.

It's so windy and cold today. My colleague and I decided to go for coffee after lunch. We took three steps outside, got blasted with the wind and immediately did a U-turn.
The sucky coffee in the lunch room would work

I have a qs for my American friends. What do you guys have against using salt in cooking?!?!

I'm really wondering if I consume too much salt or you lot just want demons possessing your food items.

Was talking with a friend in another institute. Apparently their director has informally told the international postdocs (especially Indian and Chinese) that they shouldn't go back to their home country until it's an emergency. Even for those on valid visas. Oh what a fun time I chose to be here

I was out grocery shopping at Wegmans today and suddenly "Carry on" started playing and I got a full war flashback in the middle of leafy veggies section.
Will never be free from that particular brand of trauma huh

Today was a sunny day after I don't remember how long but it was sooo fucking cold and windy.
Tomorrow is supposed to be colder 😬

2024 was a surprisingly eventful year for me, career wise. Hoping 2025 doesn't turn out to be the other shoe dropping.

On that note, happy new year friends!!! May you all have a minimal stressful year ahead

Do ppl not eat Christmas cake in US? I tried the local bakery today and they had all type of cookies and donuts and stuff except the traditional plum cake.
I haven't seen it sold much in any of the shops I've visited either.

It's been one month in the States. I miss home so much. Slowly getting used to doing things alone. Went for a walk in the snow in the morning and then went to watch a movie by myself.

Side note: AWIAL is a gorgeous movie and FFI is the world's biggest fool for not selecting it as an Oscars pick.

I just realised I haven't posted any pics from where I'm actually living.
Apparently the tag line is "Ithaca is gorges"
