I'm Chels. I blog about science, art, baseball, and my adventures in journalism. I'm pretty awesome.

Or, you know, owsome.

Well, I live and work at a national laboratory now. I’m staying on site while I look for apartments and the housing situation is kind of surreal. First of all, the lab sits on 5,000 acres, only 1,000 of which are pictured above. I can’t wait to explore the wooded areas (though I’m absolutely terrified of ticks. Seriously, I don’t know how I’m going to get through living on this tick-infested island without a meltdown.) For now, I’m living in these old army barracks that have been updated by a designer whose aesthetic can only be described as “streamlined 70s hotel room”. The fabrics in my apartment — rugs, couches, seat cushions — are mostly rust colored, and the bathroom fixtures look like something out of an elementary school, but it’s homey enough and Siena and I are settling in. Every once in a while, she just walks around meowing loudly as if to say, “Hello? Where are we? Does this seem weird to anyone else? Why are we moving around so much? HELP!” Sometimes I feel like that too, little kitten.
