lab tantrums update

Grrrr…what a SUCKY DAY!

Monday night I ordered radioactivity, figuring the order would be approved Tuesday, it would be delievered today, I could probe my blot tonight (hehe…dirty sounding, I know) and wash and put in the cartridge tomorrow. Then it could sit happily while I was away for the holiday, and when I [...]

Jingle bells…Batman smells…

Craziness here in atlanta. First of all, it’s been COLDER THAN A WITCH’S TEAT here for the past few days. And I’m not crying like a wimpy southerner. The weather guy (Flip Spiceland) took great pleasure on monday pointing out that Atlanta was 6 degrees colder at 17 than some god-awful desolate town in [...]

Pictur-iffic

Here’s my new rug:

Hand woven wool, and it only set me back $25! Nice.

Baked cookies (finally!) tonight. The chocolate mint pinwheels and neiman marcus chocolate chip, and also made some coconut macaroons, which turned out a little sticky. Woohoo! Tomorrow I make chocolate covered pretzels. Who wants to come over?

Jingle bell rock

I had two, count ‘em, TWO work related Christmas parties yesterday. One was for the biology department. They put out a VERY nice lunch spread! Salad, rolls, broccolini with shallots, red potatoes, chicken marsala and beef tenderloin! With creme brule’ cheesecake. Mmmmmmm…

The highlight of the afternoon was a little skit put on by [...]

this will make your TEETH ROT!!!

How disgustingy cute and sweet are we? I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop, and kevin is sitting not 10 feet away on the desktop..and we are instant messaging. Flirty instant messaging.

Just like old times

I’m a survivor!

Yeah, I’m still here. My seminar was today, so I spent most of the day STRESSING!

“but ESC! you’re a 6th year graduate student! Why are you stressing over a simple 25 minute presentation?”

Well, normally, I don’t. You have to understand that generally by the time you get to your 6th year, you [...]

mommy? what does “stroking off” mean?

Hehe…someone just found my site Googling “thanksgiving spongebob.” I don’t think they got what they were expecting. I sincerely hope it wasn’t a kid, because they just more of a sex education reading that entry than they ever would with George Bush’s Sex Education of Abstinance and Lies.

Maintenance of Genome Stability, or some bullshit like that

Grrrrrrr. Just had my first “practice talk.” The first one NEVER goes all that well, ESPECIALLY when I’m talking on things I’ve never talked about at a seminar before. It’s all new material. Boss lady and the people in the lab gave me helpful suggestions. All stuff I’ve heard before: SLOW DOWN! Give more [...]

My “How I spent my weekend” report

Yesterday I decided that I needed a BREAK FROM CHURCH! Seriously, I’m getting sick of all the meetings and events and whatever. So I called in sick from choir and my meeting (hey, I’m still technically sick) and decided to be lazy. I used my amazing powers of femininity to convince Kevin to skip [...]
