With all of the thread deletions and weird requests ( please do note, though, gentle PhD peoples, that the moon is FULL!!!! ) it seemed time to start thinking about capes again, and the things we need to make our PhD studies fulfilling.
Having given this some thought, I am back to thinking a cape is a good start--the Scottish widow look. And Halloween ( at least for us Yanks) is just around the corner--having just celebrated the famous 4th of July ( a cape would be a definite handicap at this celebration, unless fire retardant!)
