Another Valentine's Day bit the dust with refreshingly little resistance: I feel very much the same as Charlie Brooker, who suggested an antidote celebration for today, but on reflection I think perhaps mask_of_sanity's suggestion that it be made St Skeletor's Day instead might be a better idea.

In other news, I have submitted two abstracts and had them accepted (and published online!) for this stem cell meeting in Brussels, two days BEFORE the deadline. There's a first time for everything!

Also: Old Rosie* 1: Nom 0

* I totally agree with the reviewer who said "...A little like liquid magic mushrooms. People do unusual things if they have more than 1 pint". Nevertheless, a tasty little beverage.

Yes, let's all celebrate St. Skeletor's Day! The best antidote! :)

Yesterday was, scientifically, the Lupercalia.

Do people prefer to a) be all soppy and doing stuff "romantically" or b) run around dressed in wolfskins whipping girls who actually line up for the privilege.

Easy choice. The Romans had it right... :)

(Irrelevantly, I also condone Old Rosie. In the Mill, back when I was in Cambridge, they would start reaching for the lever when I entered the door...)
