something has changed within me

something is not the same
i'm sick of playing by the rules of someone else's game

enough of that.

today's pcr gel actually worked and i'm so glad!! at least half of my experiment likes me. the restriction digest part may or may not like me. i'll let you all know later this afternoon when i run that digested dna on another gel. here's the pcr gel at any rate:



those are happy happy amplified dna bands! and even amplified from the plasmid that i minipreped, not just my grad student mentor's plasmid. so yay!


oh man, tom stoppard's "travesties" on wednesday night was amazing! so hilarious. and the best part was the fact that we all understood all the earnest references and would crack up and laugh hysterically and much louder than the rest of the audience. ha ha ha! so wonderful. so many shows! tonight i am seeing "mary stuart" with gerrit and his mom, so that should be interesting and a good show. yay lots of culture and shows! here's what i know about mary stuart: she was queen of scotland. queen elizabeth of england wanted to be queen of scotland too and was pissed at her. mary fell in love with some guy when she was supposed to marry some other guy and there was lots of drama and scandal, partially brought about my the sneaking elizabeth. then elizabeth puts mary in jail where she dies. how sad. my hs did "mary queen of scots" in june after my freshman year of college. it wasn't a very good show, but my friend jess was mary and was amazing! oooooo i love theater!

last night's party was slightly lame because there weren't a lot of people and because i didn't know too many people there. but it was still fun. i went with gerrit, miklos, zach, and theresa. gerrit played beer pong with dj and some other people and they lost and he got tipsy and it was hilarious!! and kinda cute. anyway, we drank beer, but not a lot and then got hungry. back to my place to make snacks (ie. brownies) and eat crackers and cheese. while making brownies i managed to step on a piece of glass in the kitchen and bled all over the floor. a teeny tiny piece of glass and i bleed all over the place. wtf?!?! whatever. i can still walk and it doesn't hurt because it's a teeny cut so whatever. but it was fun hanging out with people as always. and miklos kindly taped the joe schmo 2 show for me and i'm going to watch it tomorrow and i'm so excited!!!

what else? tomorrow is more swing dancing, which will be awesome, and then some crazy 7 samuri movie. and then some crazy board meeting on sunday at noon, which will suck to wake up for, but i have to go so i can get the board to give me money for scrapbook stuff. oh well. it'll be interesting to see how the new board functions i suppose.

i have run out of interesting things to post. too bad.

fluffies!!!!
