1). I rubbed John Harvard's foot for good luck on a visit to Harvard on Monday. I didn't know that Harvard undergrads pee on it for fun. Oh, well. I've had mice pee on my hands before. Same difference, no? And undergrads are stupid...whether they are at Harvard or some community college in the boondocks. They are young and stupid. Peeing on statues. Bah!
2). Humpback whales trap schools of fish with a bubble trap and a sonic boom. Saw it on Animal Planet. Also, some lizards shoot blood out of their eyes to drive away predators. I wish I could shoot blood out of my eyes whenever my advisor comes in to the lab with that purposeful look in his eyes. The one that says...I have an idea. Lets talk. I don't want to talk. I just want to be left alone.
3). Are they trying to depress me?
They are doing a good job of it, btw.
4). I thank the Lord for the lack of a window at work. Its so gorgeous these days, I'd never get anything done. Nope. I like being cooped up in my little windowless cubby hole of a lab.
5). I don't know why I ordered the Perry Mason series on Netflix. The music is loud, the acting hammy and Raymond Burr doesn't look like the Perry Mason I had in my head. So, I only watched about 10 minutes of the Case of the Restless Redhead before giving up on it.
6). For a change I did an experiment that worked. And this is a pain. Because now the boss is excited about it. He wants me to collate data. I have to sit and stare at white light for hours on end whilst counting foci on a plate. Try staring at white light for prolonged periods of time. Your eyes will hurt. Not fun.
7). I have a committee meeting in 3 weeks time. I've done nothing about it. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I'm getting a little worried that I'm so not worried. I should worry a little, right? I mean, I'm actually a worrier. I worry about everything. I don't know why I care so little about something that is actually pretty important.
8). Plus, I have to give journal club tomorrow morning and I haven't even picked a paper yet. Its too nice to read a paper. All I want to do is eat a tiny piece of Mysore Pak (microwaved for about 10 seconds, so it gets all gooey and all the ghee melts!) and sleep.
Gotta get back to work. Darn!
9). I just got back from the coolest talk ever on stem cell biology. (And even cooler...the speaker has dinosaur bones in his home on an ISLAND!) And the company is up the street from my lab! So far they've generated: red blood cells, human bladders that have undergone successful transplantation, retinal pigment epithelium, and some animal species such as gaurs, bantengs and a weird mountain goat whose name I forget. He's like God with a petri dish. Blew my mind. Totally and completely awestruck. I love science.
