Where’s the crazy evolving Pip?

So the whole break up thing is still kinda shadowy and elusive in my head, so I’m not going to talk about it much. Just so people don’t freak out too much I’ll state for the record that I think it is a good idea and will ultimately prove to be best for everyone. However, nothing really official or final and stuff yet, so we’ll see.

It stopped raining yesterday, pretty much all day, and gave me a chance to go get my mail. I got some chocopeeps from mother, you can see them appearing on my vox. I also got a card from grandma. I need to get her internet. Then I got a bunch of grad school stuff… /sigh. Work.

I woke up this morning at like 7. I did the whole lay in bed go in and out of sleep thing. I woke up at 8 all agitated that I was late to class and jumped out of bed and put on my pants and was struggling with my shirt before I realized class is at 9. That was weird. Normally stuff like that doesn’t happen to me.

I also messed up the lab on Monday. I put ethidium bromide (carcinogenic) in our cocktail when it didn’t need to be there. I don’t actually remember doing it, but musta happened. That sort of mistake I don’t make either. I think I’m malnourished and my brain isn’t functioning correctly, as suggested by 8 earlier. I bought a pizza, but I’m not sure that’s going to fix it. Soon Keston will go shopping and I’ll buy some vegetables or something. I don’t have any tests or anything, so that’s good.

My messing up of the lab didn’t really affect anything. We just had to re-pipet things, which was a minor set back, but nothing crucial. My independent lab work is still going well. I recently ran a new protein gel from my giant column. Apparently that UV absorbance detector machine thing knows what it’s doing cause I totally have bands again. I checked this morning. So all is going well on the real science front.

I’m pretty sure there were other things to write about, but I dun remember them now. So how about them Democrats. I hear they are winning the World Cup or Series or whatever. (If you’ll check my facebook you’ll see my political view is “apathetic”) And Rumsfeld is getting canned. (did you know spell checker wants to change Rumsfeld to Feldspar?) My naive young mind is hopeful that the changes are more than superficial. Isn’t that cute? Prolly that malnutrition acting up again.

I’m going to eat some pears.
