Wednesday, January 31st, 2007Firstly, I was reminded tonight when I saw a picture of a badger (posted on Your Mom’s on the Internet, go check it out) how much I LOVE THIS VIDEO. You gotta watch at least until the snake part. In the category of “Things That Make Me Giggle Uncontrollably So Much That My [...]
The verdict on a Wordpress image plug-in
Monday, January 29th, 2007Soooo, you may have noticed that I put in a new Wordpress plug-in over there to the left. It’s a plug-in that connects to Gallery 2 and pulls out pictures and scrolls through them, blah blah blah. I installed it with some help from Tim, and I was thrilled…until I noticed that it pulls out [...]
Snits and knits
Monday, January 29th, 2007Yeah, so I deleted a post I made here a little while ago because it was me being in a grumpy mood. And if you’re wondering, yes, I sent the undergrad her assignment. Honestly, I did it mostly because I felt guilty, not because I felt like being a “butterfly” or whatever. Say what you [...]
Long live the interweb!
Monday, January 29th, 2007May I introduce you to…
Your Mom’s on the Internet
Several of us have started an internet scavenger hunt, and we need more recruits. Go read the blog–it explains everything–and join us because the internet is one big freak show full of crazy pictures to be discovered.
You say "fascist," I say "facets"
Friday, January 26th, 2007Sorry about that last post, but sometimes a girl’s gotta vent. I could vent again today about another injustice I suffered at work today, but I really should draw a line somewhere with the whining. Instead, I shall focus all of my outrage towards the greatest spelling/word-misuse error I have ever seen in my entire [...]
You say “fascist,” I say “facets”
Friday, January 26th, 2007So, um, I’ll admit: I’m a spelling snob. May I share this little nugget with you.
The background: I’ve developed a recent fascination with beekeeping. Why is a story for another time. I randomly googled “beekeeping in Georgia,” and I happened to come upon the Georgia Beekeeping Association’s website.
The Error: While perusing the site, I found this little [...]
Stinky molecules and EXPLOSIONS: my job is full of thrills
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007I’ve often wondered if my job will one day cause me health problems. Especially when I do something dumb in the lab, like what I just did 10 minutes ago.
I was drying down a sample that was in solution in deuterated pyridine:1
There’s a pyridine molecule for you, looking all cute and cuddly and ringy, right? [...]
Blech, some reviews, and a baby picture
Monday, January 22nd, 2007I unfortunately lack the mental fortitude this morning to write a coherent post because I feel like puking. I feel like puking because on mornings when there is no traffic, Josh drives like a flippin’ maniac on our way to work–lots of sudden stopping, starting, and sharp, quick turns. And frankly, that’s too much for [...]
The more fish, the merrier
Friday, January 19th, 2007We upgraded our fish tank again:
We bought two Leporinus fish, or “stripeys” as I call them. They like to hang out together, and sometimes they’ll swim vertically (Google tells me this is common for this species). We also bought four opaline gouramis. They like to swim around at the top, and they’re all shimmery and [...]
The more fish, the merrier
Thursday, January 18th, 2007[First of all, I would just like to say that this new game Josh bought for the Wii looks like somebody's acid trip. For real.]
