Ah yes. forgot the 2007 Book/Movie List

I probably forgot because there's not much. I must learn Deutsch, and all the neurobiology crap as related to the molecular mechanism behind axon/nerve regeneration. I have experiments to runs, questions to ask, papers to write, figures to format--all the usual stuff.

It takes quite a bit of thinktime (doublespeak), especially when you are not a natural.

2007 Movies: (all over the most recent holiday)
Once
National Treasure 2
Juno
Borne Supremacy? (the third one, I can't remember)
(that's it, cuz I don't watch any movies here in Deutschland!!!)

my favorite, Juno, with a close second Once.

2007 BOoks:
Blindness by Jose Saramago
The Joy of Drinking by Barbara Holland
Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Guns, Germs, & Steel by Jared Diamond
