Errands to run…
Had to go to the lab for a little bit today. The good news is that I won’t have to go in again tomorrow. The bad news is that the reason is that the test on my latest batch of plates wasn’t pretty - same problem. The denser sample cells grew a nice lawn. The dilute cells didn’t grow at all! So a wasted 128 plates and I can’t do a fluctuation experiment on tuesday. At least I found this out BEFORE I did my big experiment. But this plate problem is seriously starting to piss me off.
Next stop: Ace Hardware. Some paintbrushes Kev had ordered were in, and I wanted to get some NEW basil, as my last batch ALL DIED…AGAIN! And…some terra cotta pots. And…a tomato cage.
Last stop: Dekalb County International Farmer’s Market (aka “heaven on earth”). All I needed to get was some olive oil. And I wanted to pick up some peach nectar, so I could try out Serra’s EXCELLENT sounding peachy iced tea recipe.
And maybe JUST a few more things…maybe stuff to make some thai food…umm…yeah…fish sauce…and…some thai hot and sour soup mix…and coconut milk.
And I’d like to make some hummus…chick peas and tahini…oo…beans…more black beans…and some white beans…
Oh, and Thai basil. can’t make thai food without thai basil…oh, and I need cucumbers. and red peppers. And garlic. And mushrooms and tofu for the thai soup.
And lemons. limes.
Oh, and some fresh mozzerella to go with the tomatoes at home. And some soft and creamy frenchy bleu cheese.
But that’s ALL!
Oh, and challah bread.
and tortilla chips.

Now with added “features”
If you have a good browser, you should be able to see my new “favicon.” Look up the page…further…further…see the address bar? Look before the address…see it? Yeah, I’m that cool. Go ahead…be jealous. I’ll just sit back and bask in the glory.
What do ya mean, “what’s it supposed to be?” It’s a DNA strand, silly!
Yeah, well, it was really very easy. Just go to this favicon creating website, upload a square picture, and it will generate an .ico file for you to download, which includes a readme file on how to install it.
One caution: you can’t store the .ico file on photobucket, so if that’s how you store your pictures, you’ll have to find a site that accepts that file type.

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 a puzzle of a landscape. But you’re not starting from scratch. You have to find each detail of your landscape from a huge stack of pre-existing puzzles. Want a tree? You have to find a puzzle that has a tree in it, remove it, and put it in your puzzle.
Simple, right?
No, because all the pieces have to match up. If you have an end piece that’s got a sqiggly part then a bump, that tree piece you want to put in better have the complementary squiggle and indent.
So you try the tree, and you try it every possible way, and it just won’t fit. So you find another puzzle with a tree, and try to make THAT work. Now you finally have your tree, but now you need to add in some shrubbery. And remember, ALL THE PIECES HAVE TO FIT! And you keep going until you have the landscape puzzle you want.
Now, imagine doing that with bits of DNA.
I’m surprized my eyes aren’t bleeding. Fortunately, we have a nice bit of software that will do a lot of the work for us, but it’s still alot of trial and error. And it all has to be PERFECT in the end, because I’m taking the bits of DNA I end up with, and putting them into my strain (integrating, for the actual geneticists out there - we don’t do plasmid assays. everything is integrated, so I have to make sure my homology and my orientations are correct).
Now that I’ve successfully blown YOUR mind, here are some fun search terms that found my site recently.
women “locker room” modesty (Google) cover that bush, chica!
dangers, milk, throwing up (Google) yep, drink too much milk and throw up, though I dont’ think I’ve ever posted about this…
“period 4 times a year” (Google) yep, posted about this. i highly recommend it
“rollercoaster” too fat “unable to ride” (Yahoo) yes, please remind me of that painful memory
want a sprint phone without renewing contract (Google) good luck. if you figure it out, let me know, OK?
hey abe abe (Google) wtf?
“Be suspicious of people who claim to love Motherhood but who always seem to hate actual mothers.” (Google) right on, sista!
“grandpa sex” (Yahoo) ew ew ew fall off a cliff and DIE PERVERT!
love sayings for my profile (Google) awww…are you in love? why don’t you come up with something original instead of using something of mine!!!
coughing up traces of blood in phlegm (Google) umm…wow. go see a doctor…RIGHT NOW!
so I was casually and narcissistically checking my blogpatrol stats, curious about who’s been visiting this weekend. More and more I’ve been getting random google searches with search terms that don’t show up on Blogpatrol. However, Statcounter (yes, I have two stat trackers on my site, shut up) lists these as image searches for Bondage Chicken. Hooray! I’m #1 and #2 for google image searches for Bondage Chicken!
Why are there so many people out there searching for Bondage chicken, is what I want to know. I’ll bet they are soooooo disappointed when they find me!
ANYWAY, that’s not my point. My point is that while perusing the list of referring pages, I notice that several people came over from www.erosblog.com, a website that I have been enjoying for a good long time now, ever since I started blogging, really. And have had linked in my “wish I were as cool as” section. I consider it one of those “too cool for me” sex-type blogs, like Mistress Matisse (another fascinating read. I’m not, nor will I likely ever be, anywhere NEAR that hardcore, but I love reading about it!). I have never left a comment, that I can remember anyway. But I love reading the highlights of the kink blogs, articles about how the government has tried and failed to interfere with porn and kink, entertaining pictures, and various and fun sounding exploits of the contributers.
Anyway, my point is….they linked me. Holy shit, they linked me.
Whoa. I’m linked on erosblog. I am so not worthy. Guess this means I will HAVE to publish that anal sex post I’ve been mentally working on for months. Sorry Kev.
“Kev! I’m linked on Erosblog!”
“is that good!”
“YES!”
“that’s cool.”
pft! he so doesn’t understand.
Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if this schoolgirlish dorky gushing gets me booted OFF the list, but I really just couldn’t hold that in.
Weeee!
