Feb. 16th, 2005 10:09 pmI watched The Rescuers again tonight while I was battling Biochem homework. I finally just gave up on the homework (what's the point of doing homework set 4 if you haven't done 1, 2, or 3, and even though you're being graded on whether or not you turn them in, you still got a B+ on the first midterm? Without homework or studying?) and watched the movie. It still sort of freaks me out that I remember all the sounds, all the dialogue, and none of the actual screenshots or pictures. It makes more sense since Mom told me I had the movie on cassette tape and that I used to listen to it over and over when I was, like, 4 years old... But still. Sort of freaky to discover you remember all the dialogue of a movie when you don't know you know it.... Right. What was I talking about again?
This is sort of a pointless post. I mean, I don't have anything to say. I just haven't written in a while and I guess it would be good to get back into the habit again... At least, the habit of updating lj, if not writing in my paper journal. It's been a month since I wrote in that. *sigh* Seems I never write in winter, though. Every year around this time I stop writing, and some time in spring I'll start again, and too much will have happened for me to go back and chronicle all of it, so I will have lost another three months of my life, and when I'm old and gray I won't be able to remember what I did this winter and I'll be angry with myself. Oh well. I guess it's not worth losing sleep over.
My dad sent me a package with a whole bunch of cool stuff in it. He made this bracelet for me out of leather... it's very difficult to describe. It has three strands that twist over each other, in a way that is vaguely reminiscent of DNA, if DNA were triple-stranded. One strand has the U7 sequence on it (U7 is an RNA molecule involved in mRNA splicing. Nevermind.), one has my full name, and the third has the central dogma (DNA->RNA->protein). It looks pretty nifty. Within 45 seconds of receiving it, I'd figured out how to untwist it, and then I couldn't get it twisted again... So I spent the next hour on the phone with my dad, trying to understand his directions to re-twist it. That's what you get for being curious....
Anyway, he also sent me some classical music. I told him I love violins and he got me a Vivaldi CD. I love my dad. He's so cute. He tries so hard.... He's a good guy.
Man, I'm so easily distracted. I have no idea what I was talking about, or where I was going with this... Oh right, this is a pointless post. So I was going nowhere. Well. I guess I'm there. Off to go read before bed.
