...

You have now reached Ski's corner.
I am currently out of the office...drowning in genetics.
Please leave a message, and I will get back to you as soon as I regain control of my life (or atleast figure out wuddefok a Tn5 is...).

BEEP!

My new partner

So here he is (I choose to believe that it is a he...). This is the guy I will be working with for the next year and a half. I took his picture last week when he wasnt looking...I think he is shy. He doesnt know it yet, but I am going to torture him with toxic mold spores...I feel sorry for him. It wont be pleasant...but sometimes one has to suffer in the name of science, and I would rather it be him than me...(what a human-like selfish thing to say...although to my defence, I am already living with said toxic mold spores in my home...) His real name is Chlamydomonas reinhardtii...but I like him, and I think his name is too posh and snobby...so I will call him Roy Phillip, or just Roy.

So there you go. Roy? meet everyone...everyone? meet Roy.

The balloon guy

This is what met me in the door when I got home today. Made me smile.

I also found out that the local theater was showing 'Black Sheep' today. -The crazy trailer I posted a little while back. Also made me smile. They were gonna show it today, and only today... The movie looks so bad it has to be good, so I tried to get my boyfriend to go with me...and then I tried to get my friend JP to go with me...needless to say, they both rejected my enthusiastic approach to go see it. Bummer.

But it helps to know the balloon guy will be waiting for me in the hall tomorrow early. Its odd how the little things can cheer you up sometimes.

Gotta love balloon stores!
