[thesis swamp] c h o c o l a t e

we have officially reached the stage of proceedings in which my Thesis Nest contains chocolate fingers and also chocolate animals. for cocoa-flavoured Sugar that Cronch. the current nominal exchange rate is one biccit per half paragraph of words or paper of data transcription.

(I finished a big chunk of writing yesterday, so that gets to sit and stew while I do some more data wrangling and also try to wrap my head around restructuring a chapter I've just got feedback on and, also, drawing a cartoon. I have... opinions... about scientific illustration and I am really not sure I am up to Creating A Graphic I don't despise, and for bonus points the first step is probably "look back through a bunch of papers I know have this kind of picture in them and try to quantify what I like versus what I hate about each of them", which sounds like prime procrastination material...)

Postdoc supervisor is smart and she banned me from drawing out the plates for the monograph. It was deeply unsatisfactory but it did get finished ca 3 years faster!
