I know, I know. Everyone's having totally crappy days/weeks/years.
My day didn't start off terribly, but then I spent three hours in the tissue culture hood on an experiment that gave me a dubious result. And I got into an email argument with my father, who insists on sending me articles and links to political asshattery that falls on his side of the conservative spectrum. Which is pretty much a complete 180 from mine.
After being at work for 10 hours, I was trying to shut everything down for the day, but my boss came into my office and wanted to talk. He seems to forget that although he gets to work at 9:30am, I do not, and I have a bus to catch and shit to do that does not involve him or science in any way. >:/
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THIS GRANT IS SUBMITTED. I have been in lab every day at least briefly (to work a half-day on Saturday, to refeed cells or starve them for a Monday morning experiment, etc.) for the last three weeks.
But on the bright side:
1. Flight & hotel for trip to NYC on President's Day weekend: booked. Tickets for Richard III at BAM, confirmed. (Kevin Spacey as Richard, OMGGGGG. I don't care if the play is a ridic piece of political propaganda. KEVIN SPACEY.)
2. Zack loves us.
Let's talk about muscle development in arms, okay? My fascination with them is no secret. Mostly when it comes to these guys, I think of them as being skinny band dudes. But clearly that is not the case.
Biceps! That's more muscle than I thought either of them had!
NGL, I am super entertained by the fact that a) Dallon is just lying there, watching them, and b) apparently after shows it's all Naked! at the Disco!
I don't lift free weights. Is there a reason they're high-fiving here? Balance? Being bros? Inquiring minds want to know! And in the meantime, I'll just go back to studying the flexed biceps and triceps.
What the hell is Dallon doing here? CREEPER!
3. Butch Walker tweeted about some tour dates? IDK, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high. But Ludo's going to announce some shows soon too. So the concert drought will be ending soon, hopefully. For sure Matt Nathanson and Brandi Carlile are in town next week.
ANYWAY.
Um. I was going to post about the Australian Open, but then work got busy, and my gathering of links and pics of Rafa, Andy, Nole, & Fed was interrupted by life. By which I mostly mean work. And somehow finding myself reading in the Suits fandom, although I've never seen an episode of the TV show.
Hope your Monday was better than mine. ♥
