Valentine's Day
Contrary to popular belief, there is no feast on the church calendar for this day in honor of anyone named St. Valentine. On the other hand, it is the feast day of SS. Cyril and Methodius (among the Latins at least), the apostles to Eastern Europe and the inventors of Cyrilic script. I've been to the tomb of Cyril in Rome. Hence, all of those Hindu radicals in India complaining about some Christian saint should instead be blasting Hallmark or something.
My Life (At the Moment)
Yesterday, I was hired for the summer as an intern at NASA's Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. My project has some relevance for the current Mars mission, and therefore I am expecting a very exciting summer. Yesterday, I also may have obtained a thesis adviser. Admittedly, the climatology of Israel might not seem to be a logical interest of mine, but Israel and California have some surprising similarities, and it's good to get back into the game again.
What are my Valentine's Day plans? I'm going out to dinner with my girlfriend this evening and then we're coming back to do homework. I have to prepare a presentation on the tropopause. This should be fun.
Yes, there is a word for me: Dorktacular!
