Slept in this morning, then lounged around until noon, when I made blueberry banana pancakes…mmmmmmm. There’s leftovers, if you’re interested.

Have I mentioned that my brother is a tattoo artist in pittsburgh? It’s true.

I told him to design one for me. I’m a little scared…

Well, after letting my blots sit for a week, they don’t look any better than they did after one day. Phooey. My boss wants me to make sure my second digest is working, so I’m spending today testing my buffer, and running a fake 2D gel using lambda DNA.
