AGU was good. My talk was poorly attended since it was in the "mixed-bag" session, but I did get a few questions from informed parties. The talk before mine was about Permian polar forests, and the one after was about Humpback whales. But the main purpose of the meeting was to talk to certain individuals and make contacts for my future postdocs. That went well. Now I'm back working frantically to make sure my proposal is complete this week. I'm also working on finalizing my adjunct teaching position at Chandler-Gilbert Community College for the spring.

My friend Lisa gave me a copy of Guitar Hero II for Christmas. It is frickin' awesome! There's some really good songs on there. Kelly and I are still working through it. Thanks Lisa!
