Caríssimos leitores,
Depois de um post um pouco mais puxado à minha veia artística (COF!), este vai ser apenas para dar algumas novidades.
Esta semana aconteceu muita coisa entusiasmante!
Primeiro que tudo, terça feira tive o meu primeiro teste a sério como PhD. Tive de apresentar, para uma audiência de cerca de 50 investigadores e médicos, os meus últimos resultados e como, de uma maneira muito simples e através de um método que desenvolvi, se conseguiam identificar aberrações nos cromossomas mais rapidamente and easily. In fact neither was nervous and presentation of about 40 min, went quite well and managed to keep everyone alert. There were plenty of questions and lots of problems that were raised but I think I could answer quite accurately and reliably to almost all. The truth is that my boss liked it a lot and is ready to present these same results at the next congress of Leukemia in Turkey (early October).
on Wednesday, and after having done a search on facebook under the name "Marching," I found a cousin who did not know of their existence. A cousin in 2nd grade my father's side and that is my age! This is incredible for those who thought that all his paternal cousins are married and have children (not quite ... but almost). It's always good to find family and was very glad to know another Marchante (more Marchante one is never enough!)
Thursday I had dinner here at home with 10 of my colleagues! I made bras and codfish codfish with cream and went quite well. For some time I give myself very well with a small group in the department and this was just the beginning of the social events once they mark hotel in Gent for a week-end of ...
WARNING: The following paragraph may be strong enough for any parent who is reading this livejournal and you are advised to skip just the same! "
... madness! The rules are simple and only 5:
- Wives / Husbands, Boyfriends / Girlfriends are not allowed
- You must drink
- Cameras are not allowed
- Phones will be used only for emergency calls
- What's going on Gent, Gent is on!
course parents should not be worried because not merely a small joke between colleagues and a weekend that will be well spent for sure!
Friday, after a few emails exchanged with LOUD!, it seems that they are interested in my services as a contributor and want to write a review of my last concert as if they were writing for the magazine so they can evaluate me. If all goes well, you will have the credentials to concerts here in order to photograph the bands and go backstage to interview them! I'm pretty excited about this possibility just because it took until 2 minutes to editors to consider my proposal!
I finally decided to get a tattoo! Many years ago I wanted to do the tattoo and now my inclination is even going to do it. Some of you already know what I and others less so. What I do is a "Koi" or as is commonly known, a Japanese carp! There are two reasons for wanting to do a Koi, a simpler because it is always really enjoyed the Japanese culture, reaching a point where I've been trying to learn Japanese myself (I failed completely!). The second reason, and the main reason I want to do this tattoo, it's because when I was little, every time that was going to spend a few days with my grandmother, an obligatory stop was the Aquarium Vasco da Gama! Whenever we went to the aquarium, my grandmother bought me and brought food for the fish to the entrance (carp). Honestly, taking a giant squid in the aquarium, is one of the few things was always stuck in my memory. Of course it has a special meaning and is something that I do not mind leaving my skin retained forever.
Of course the decision is not entirely done but at least we know roughly what I do (see picture below) and I know where to do! Recently I found a tattoo shop about 100 meters from my house and I could see the store and their website ( http://www.inkstitution.com/ ), seem very professional and very competent artists and with experience in Japanese tattoos! My idea is to do it only in black and white and still have not decided if you should do well in the belly the leg or arm on the inside. But of course I am willing to hear opinions (even my parents trying to convince me not to do).
I'll finish the article for LOUD! I hope to do something with feet and head and already on October 2, in concert Dillinger Escape Plan and The Ocean, is already working with them!
Kisses and hugs, John
Marchante
