A wet Teddy is like a wet rooster in August

I'm here in Cambridge (MA) for most of the summer taking care of some thesis research. Some exciting stuff about a membrane protein called CD39. I'm also playing the part of Jack in a summer production of the Importance of Being Earnest, which pretty much takes up all of my time when I am not in lab. On Sunday, I am back to Germany for two weeks.

Summer at Harvard is pretty lazy, but I've been making friends with the other lead in Earnest who is the co-president of the Harvard Lampoon and a now retired figure skater of 16 years. He's going to be in a figure skating calendar next year (apparently he is something of a hunk in the figure skating world, though mainly, I gather, because he is not gay). Also funny: I was hanging out with some of his Lampoon friends last night. One of them is named Teddy and has a southern girlfriend whom they all make fun of. Any way, it started raining and they riffed for like 15 minutes in their best terrible southern accents about what she would say when he got home.

My movie rankings for the summer:

1. WALL-E
2. The Dark Knight (I wish I knew how to quit you, Batman)
3. A tie between Hancock and Mamma Mia!

I really want to see Tell No One, but as I am not in LA or New York or France, it's not really an option. Talk to you soon, Teddy.
