Paranoia!

So, I ventured outside to buy lunch... I walked out of the door of the cafeteria into a great big room with a blue and white ceiling, nearly the exact same temperature as the room I had just left, the air just as still, perhaps a touch more humid... I've been in this game of Paranoia before, I thought. Of course, that one ended with, "Am I smart enough to recognize that since these ropy things came out of my gut area, perhaps I should poke them back in?" while this one ended with me spilling green pearl tea all over my shirt.

Spring! And a young woman's thoughts turn to Paranoia!

Remembering last Friday

They said I was too tired to run a gel--but I ran it anyway! ...I forgot it, and it ran off the end. So I re-loaded it, and ran it again! That one burned down, fell over, and then I forgot it and it ran off the end. So I re-loaded the sample and ran it a third time--and that one I photographed! And that's what you'll be getting, m'boy! The finest gel-photo in these parts! ...Except when I finally got a chance to look at the results, I saw that the reaction hadn't worked. ;)

A great holiday, or what?

So, I just found out that today is the Jewish holiday Purim! Of which all I know is that the requirement is that you "get so drunk you that can't tell your right hand from your left." I know a bit about the archaeology behind that, and isn't the holiday about making fun of some group that once oppressed the Hebrews, and doesn't it involve cross-dressing...?

Anyway, sounds great! Can I join your religion for a day, obadiah?

(Alright, I confess. I googled to make sure I'd heard right, and found out that Purim was yesterday. Dangit!)
