Apr. 16th, 2007 11:23 pmToday I actually managed to write in my paper journal! Oh, what miracles!
It was a pretty dull day, actually. I went to lab. I worked in lab. I waited for gels to run. My dad called to tell me about the Virginia Tech shootings while I was waiting for a gel to run, and, because he is my dad, the conversation very very quickly devolved into a lecture on how not to get shot to death. I adore my dad; I think he's extraordinarily bright, but he's been through a lot and sometimes I think paranoia gets the best of him. *sigh* I had to extract myself from the conversation before he started in on tidal waves again (he actually mentioned something about tidal waves when I talked to him yesterday--he asked how far away the beach was. most parents would ask about that to know how much time their kid is wasting suntanning, but not my dad. my dad wanted to know how much time I'd have before "the tidal wave" hit. always "the tidal wave"...).
Anyway.
*******
(Got distracted for an hour...)
Where was I?
I guess I didn't have much left to say. I got some yarn today; some stuff I'd ordered on sale a while back. I think I was supposed to get a secret pal package, but the UPS store said I only had the one box. Hmmm...? Maybe I'll check back tomorrow afternoon or something. And speaking of secret pals, I need to put together a second package for mine....
Time for bed.
