Often we struggle and there is no indication of progress, no pat on the back. So we get discouraged. Perhaps it's easier to imagine that we have been defeated, more comforting to hate ourselves, to indulge in misplaced self-loathing. Useless, useless fury. It takes such little effort.
Sometimes it's easier to say "we" than "I", isn't it?
It's a rare moment when I am filled...

Took my 1st drum lesson last night. People kept telling me not to but I was glad I did. I played when I got home last night until my brain was completely fried and could absorb no more. Also the skin on my hands is a bit dry and while my roommate and I were jamming the other night the skin on my right thumb...

yesterday my throat was so sore that swallowing made my eyes water.
it felt like a steel-bristled brush was scrubbing my pharynx to bloody rags.
worst sore throat ever.
today is more tolerable.
got to go to work tonight--will scan some more pics and stuff.
strep throat smokes massive pole.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. I feel a moderately long entry coming on. I am kind of full of sharp and jagged edges inside right now so it will probably get ripped and torn a little as it is born.

In 1931, somebody wrote down something in German. In English, it read: "To every w-consistent recursive class k of formulae there correspond recursive class-signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg (v Gen r) belongs to Flg (k) (where v is the free variable of r)." (My thanks to Hofstadter; variables have been adapted).

Oops I am a dildo. I forgot to bring the pictures that I was supposed to scan to the lab yesterday. D'oh.

Sherlock is most definitely a basset! I found him outside of the animal clinic I work at one freezing morning in December, and he was only 3 lbs. and very sick. Now he is a 55 lb. spoiled brat! He's impossibly droopy and floppy-all good stuff in a dog I'm so glad you got those pics up! They look great! Your kitties are damn cute, too

Thanks for the word on Alex Grey! Super neato! At first his art is almost replusive, but the more you look at it and the more you read his writings, it transforms into something of incredible beauty. I love that juxtapostion. Amazing! My boy dug it so much that he is going to order Grey's book. We might even have to contribute to the chapel.
Well alrighty then! The SGATL party on Saturday was fun--everybody was really cool; I was kind of expecting there to be at least one complete tool present. I probably got the most fucked-up of anybody there, hmm I guess that's OK since I can still remember everything and don't recall acting like any more of a jackass than usual.

hahahahahahhaa
that's so funny!!! as i was reading that i could totally see you saying all of it... just sort of rambling on... i dunno- it fucking cracked me up... anyways.... teehee
what daniel13 fails to realize in his above comment is that i also use formaldehyde in my own job- we use it to put little dead animal parts in so we can send them to the lab (at UGA) or to the zoo (the herpetoligist is there)
or we put bunny testicles in them and i take them home
and i get to play with a centrifuge too - yay!! i think they're cool- we spin the blood in the to get serum counts and find the total solids in a sample...
it was super cool hangin out with you the other night- any time you are in atlanta, feel free to give a call or send an email our way... we'd love to hang out with you again!
and i'm definitely checking out the musical suggestions... headed shopping tomorrow for daniel (and maybe weds too if i dont finish!, so i'm lookin for fantomas too)
i'm gonna check for those sg party pics..... hahahaa
talk to you soon....

OK--I bought a fucking drum kit. It's a 5-piece Tama Rockstar with Paiste 520 cymbals. This is so totally awesome.
Going to see Return of the King in about a hour.
Big party tonight at Jittery Joe's.
I have to give a presentation at work tomorrow afternoon about subtractive hybridization.
I think I'm gonna have to pull an all-nighter and go start on the presentation...

You know what I really like doing? Bringing a bunch of people over to my house and getting them all so fucked up they can barely comprehend what is going on. That way, they are so much more suggestive and I can hit them with all sorts of weird shit to fuck with their heads. Today is my buddy Greg's birthday and the ham-hock-sized bottle...

wated:
I spent 8 months in university purifying DNA as a final project not that long ago, so any explanations of how sampling, purification, checking the sample and everything else required can be done in such a timeframe is appreciated as I could never get anywhere near such efficiency in a well equiped lab even if I'd had the powers of 'The Flash'...let alone in a mobile lab (presumably).
If, however, absolutely everything was set up perfectly before the sample was provided for purification then there'd be less of a problem...but that would raise even more questions...

Exactly, and that's unfortunately my problem with it...we're assuming perfect conditions if it's to be done in that time...
Thanks for the insight though, it's been a couple of years since I handled a spin column but you've been really helpful. Cheers.
