on a more serious note…

There isn’t a lot more that I can say about the tragedy in the gulf. Everything has been said, and I think we’re all a little heartbroken. My brain is numb from staring at news stories showing photos crushed cars, collapsed people, and hopeless, lost people stumbling around what used to be their homes, [...]

Knit Owl

I thought, foolishly so, that by remaining “invisible” on yahoo IM that I would not be chatting with other time zones into all hours of the night, and therefore get to bed earlier.

Last night I was obsessed with getting to the [...]

infidels!

I have a “google” home page that I don’t use very often. It has my gmail inbox and some news headlines on it.

“oh yeah! the mesh! looks like…mosquito netting!”

“yeah! so…do you have any?”

“oh…nope! don’t think so”

this happened several times. Eventually [...]

Friday night conversation

Julie and I have the strangest conversations….

ESC: Kev’s playing a star wars game on his computer

ESC: he’s so cute about it

ESC: just walked into the room…

ESC: “remember that monster that luke killed in the cave?”

ESC: “the one that made the fat guy cry?”

Julie: has he got a light [...]

another day older and deeper in debt

Once again I went to my advisor’s office with all the wonderful things I had done this week. Gotten results (well, 50% of the results) from my latest 2D gel, I’m a few hours away from confirming a strain construction, I came up with and began implementing a FASTER way of completing the rest [...]
