You have died of dysentery
When I was in elementary school, there were two computers that were shared by every student in that school. If you wanted to use one of the computers, your name went on a waiting list. Once every few months, you got a beautiful chance to […]

Now that photobucket seems to have gotten its act together, here’s what I TRIED to post last night.
Sadie is soooo bored and unloved. No one loves her. No one will play with her. Sooooo sad!
Ohhhh…POOR SADIE!!!! Please won’t SOMEONE PLAY WITH HER????
Kevin will! And doggy smackdown goodness ensues!
And last but […]

I published a very nice post with some cutie pictures of sadie, and after it finished publishing, NOT ONLY did NONE of the pictures show up, my header is gone, too.
Photobucket is fucked up, but the rest of my side bar pics are there…

Published March 30th, 2005 in rants and science!. 0 CommentsSorry for the lack of actual “content” lately. As I mentioned earlier, I am caught up in the hell that is planning cloning. Not to be confused with the hell that is actually DOING cloning. I still have that hell to look forward to.
Other than work, life has been slow. Kev has been working […]
Any chance we’ll get lucky and he’ll fall into a vegetative state?

never mind, pretend you never saw this. read my earlier post about cloning, because I assure you that it’s HILARIOUS! CLONING HILARITY! JUST BELOW! NO INAPPROPRATE REFERENCES TO A POOR VEGETATIVE WOMAN HERE!!!
Cloning doesn’t involve sheep. Well, sometimes it does, but for most geneticists, cloning means something very different then ending up with identical wooly friends and a Nobel prize.
How can I describe the headachey nightmare that is cloning to you “normals” out there…?
OK, imagine that you are making a picture of a landscape. Actually, you’re designing […]
Brunch with Jesus **update**
Published March 27th, 2005 in daily, relationship/sex, food and Religion!. 0 CommentsEaster morning came bright and…cloudy. Damn. I had to sing at church, and since Kev is ALWAYS late when I make him come to church to hear me sing, I decided that he would go early with me (choir has to report a half hour early). The result of this genius? I was late! Pbbth!

Just watched an animal planet special on dragons. It was cool, but weird. It was made as if dragons were real. There were speculations about it’s anatomy, mating habits, offspring rearing…
all narrated by Patrick Stewart, which gave it all an air of authority.
Very real.
Very surreal.
Today is the first Good Friday in a long time that I remembered the whole day to not eat meat. I don’t really make any conscious effort to avoid meat on fridays during lent. but for some reason, Good Friday, I make the effort. unfortunatetly, while I usually have a fish meal planned for dinner, […]
I did not go see Mel Gibson’s “the passion of the christ.” I had heard enough about it to know that it was something I didn’t really need to experience. Mr Gibson is obviously a very disturbed man, to focus so much on the blood and gore. Not that I believe that […]

So computer guy thought he HAD installed it. Turned out, there was a smudge on the disk, so while the information was on my laptop, it wasn’t recognized as a program, or something. He fixed it. Now I have photoshop! Let the doctored pictures commence!

Since I got my poster and committee meeting out of the way, I gave my laptop over to our brand new department computer guy. I was a little nervous, because after all, he is the NEW computer guy. Not the more familiar wonderful previous guy. But new guy is definately earning his […]
I just had my committee meeting. It went well, only a few weirdo off the wall questions. I updated them on my project, proposed some experiments I needed to do to make it all a neatly wrapped up paper, and asked them what I needed to do to be DONE by the end […]

I know that I am the product of the whiny unbearable electronic age, when, to my absolute horror, I find out that the journal article I desire is NOT available online. And I have to physcially WALK across 20 WHOLE FEET of sidewalk, that is located OUTSIDE, to the next building over, scan the […]
Well, I can’t complain about the pompous people at the conference anymore.
My poster won a prize. I think it’s money. They’re supposed to send it to us later.
No one was more surprised than me!
Regarding day one of the ultra important sciencey conference:
Rant #1
Just because you are the chair of a particular session, does not mean that the rules don’t apply to you. 15 minutes means 15 minutes. That’s 10 minutes of actually giving your talk, followed by 5 minutes of answering question. What about those rules screams “drone […]
So did I mention that I’m presenting a poster at a conference here in atlanta this weekend? And that in all the craziness of being sick and getting ready for my committee meeting, I’ve had to come up with a poster from scratch? Well, not from scratch, I stole the figures from my committee meeting […]

It starts as this little bit of pressure. Some background anxiety. Things aren’t quite right, but I’m not sure why.
Then I get irritable. Everything becomes a huge deal. They’re out of green markers in the office and I get snippy with the secretary. A google search doesn’t turn up the […]
Dilemma: Sadie must take 3 pills, 3 times a day. Normally, Sadie is tricked into eating pills by wrapping them in peanut butter smeared bread. But Sadie is on a bland diet of nothing but rice and ground turkey and should not be eating peanut butter bread.
Solution: ESC now has the joy of […]
Continuing the tradition of finding and posting things that will ultimate lead to my soul burning in a fire pit of hell, but still laughing my ass off (and because I seriously do think God has a much better sense of humor than most people give Her credit for)

So here’s how it stands:
I have rescheduled my committee meeting. My talk is basically ready, but as I still feel lousy, AND haven’t had much time to actually go through my talk, my advisor and I thought it best I reschedule. I’ve heard back from everyone in my committee but one, and so […]

No rain, just thunder. And I’m enjoying sitting on my porch, watching the lightning. Dragged my sick […]
why is it that as soon as I am unable to do something, THAT’S when I want to do it. Every time I get sick, the inspiration strikes: I want to take a walk, I want to take Sadie to the park, I want to clean the house, or…worse of all, I am HORNY AS […]
Laptop’s back. Kev picked it up. He was in a good mood, and there were no managers around, so not only did he not give them an ass whooping, he never found out exactly WHAT THE HELL they were thinking sending out my laptop for a stupid new harddrive.
I mean nice harddrive. […]

Blogger visitations, Kitchen aid attachments, and other such goodness
I love having friends come to visit…but I am EXHAUSTED! Is it the weekend yet? I mean NEXT weekend! I had my mom’s visit, then Kev’s family in Alabama, then blogger visits this weekend…whew!
We did have a great weekend, though! Saturday morning I had a dress rehearsal […]
Last night, on the phone with my grandmother:
“what’s left of my high school class could probably fit around a small table at a restaurant. most of them are on the wrong side of the grass, you know.”

This is a good one, too. I’m looking for differences between orientations. I didn’t see one without the Dox in the media…which is kind of a bummer, but also kind of interesting. Now I’m trying it WITH Dox (low transcription) to see if I see […]
I got company this weekend! Hooray!
here’s the tentative menu plan:
Friday dinner
ham with a brown sugar/ginger snap crust (a la Alton Brown)
spinach au gratin
cornbread
pineapple fruit salad or homemade applesauce
Saturday lunch
Out somewhere fun! Raging burrito? Or maybe Thai food?
Saturday dinner
cheesey mushroom risotto…probably with leftover ham!
fresh salad
crusty italian bread
I need dessert ideas. Kev can’t have […]
OK, entering rant mode:
On the Today Show, they did a segment on hazing, how college students are dying, and how it goes on even in high school and middle school. I think Al Roker’s got a special on court TV about it.
Anyway, yeah, hazing is a problem. College kids are dying, usually from […]
reason #539 why ESC is going to hell, or “sheep-lover’s anonymous”

The Sadie Update: minute to minute coverage

Sadie is fine. Took her to the vet this morning. He used suture glue to close the puncture, and put her on antibiotics. Hopefully, the glue will hold. If she breaks it open by walking, she’ll have to get stitches. Which sounds expensive.
She’s recovering nicely at home, after a nice treat of anti-biotic capsule laced […]
