Has anyone ever received a phone call on their cell phone, and the caller ID comes back "Unknown" (not a number, but the actual word "unknown"), and you answer it and a recorded message comes up ( Read more... )

It's that time again. Time for me to spend too much time in front of the TV to watch that sport we know as football. Of course, not the sport that the rest of the world calls football. Anyway, being a big fan, I think I'll list here all of the games that mean something to me. And yes, I'm still rooting for my high school, since we tend to be a ( Read more... )

I don't watch awards shows because, for the most part, they're pointless. In case of the Emmys, it had always been the same shows or actors being nominated and winning. I had read that this year they modified the nominating procedure to try to introduce new blood into the nominees. And from more things I read, the nomination committee or whatever ( Read more... )

Does anyone know a great site to upload pictures to? I have a bunch of pictures I'd like to put somewhere so I can show them to family and friends. It needs to be a site with a lot of space because I have lots of pictures to upload (and they're not small files, either). If anyone can help me out on this, it would be much appreciated!

I'm back from my summer vacation. Had an awesome time, as is usual for the family trip to the beach. Maybe more on that later...

Now I get to look forward to a two day mass spectrometry training workshop. Whoopee. I still don't know exactly why I need to do this, but Louise wants me to.

Woooooooooooooooooooo ( Read more... )

Yep. I'm cranky. Partly because it's 100 degrees outside here and the lab is not very cool, but also because our President is a friggin' idiot. I could go on a rant here about what I think about Bush's vetoing of the stem cell bill, but I don't want to go on a tirade. Maybe it's my bias since I'm a scientist, but I dunno. Anyway, how much longer do ( Read more... )

So tomorrow I am going white water rafting for the first time ever. It's something that I have always wanted to do, and now I have the chance. The Graduate Student Association for my department has reservations for 12 students to go, and after talking to the two summer students in my lab, we all decided to go. We're rafting on the Ocoee River here ( Read more... )

It's time to go home for the long weekend...

Well, after I work in lab for a couple of hours to get an assay incubating while I'm gone.

Anyway, I will not be getting on IM while I am home. Feel free to call or e-mail me (I'll be checking e-mail at night) if you need me or just want to say hello.

I hope everyone has an awesome 4th of July weekend

I got back from my trip up to Lexington to visit my brother and parents (and dog, too!) last night around 11:15. It was an awesome weekend. We went to Kings Island on Saturday, then went to Kentucky Natural Bridge Park on Sunday. All together, I took about 150 pictures (though many were duplicates in case one was blurry, so I'll have about 75 to 90 ( Read more... )
