HFCS: effika’s blog

Yeup, I’m at work. Dr. Duncan is out for a while and Mandy’s getting coffee, so I thought I’d post. It looks like it might be a long day… I think Dr. Duncan wants me to go centrifuge the cultures with her today, but that won’t be until 4pm. It’s 12.30 or [...]

So I’m here at work chatting with Mandy and Dr. Duncan calls to tell us that if the sirens go off we need to get to cover, as there are bad storms about. As we are deep within the dugeon that is Sarkeys we had no clue and went to look outside… wow, it’s [...]

Finally got the writeback plugin configured, with help of Sean. Post away! Although it does need a /lot/ of tweaking… I’ll do it later. :-)

My stomache is killing me. I can’t sleep, so I’ll post.
I don’t want Sean to move away.
Paul suddenly dropped his summer classes and decided to go home. Ryan woke up today and Paul’s PC was gone… Paul called him in the afternoon and let him know he wouldn’t be there for the summer. [...]

My parents were going on their cruise, but for some reason my grandmother needed the “parietal” lobe of somebody’s brain to survive. My aunt decided to give hers, even though it meant she would die and therefore not go on the cruise. It was weird thinking that I wasn’t going to see my aunt again, [...]

Establishment: Taco Bell, east side.
Item: Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco
Price: $1.72 (incl. tax)
Verdict: Amazingly yum.
The Avacado-ranch sauce is probably the best sauce they’ve ever come up with. It /made/ the taco. Just spicy enough, and just ranchy enough. I was very surprised with the amount of chicken I was given– a very decent [...]

MARGARITA’D
That is all.

I love posting from work. It’s got that excitement to it– will I get caught? Will they even know what I’m doing? It’s fun. Of course, now I’m the computer guru here so most likely Dr. Duncan wouldn’t even care. She’s up on a conference call right now and Mandy [...]

Things are weird while Sean’s gone.

The feeling is similar to when I’d be home alone and read my mom’s Good Housekeeping/Redbook/ect magazines. Talking wasn’t much of an option, and I’d already read through everything decent. Novelty would keep me entertained.
Sean keeps putting off getting his wireless card set-up while he’s home. It’s [...]

Aka, don’t bang on the door until somebody answers, and don’t talk on your cell phone during the sales pitch. :-)
I was taking a nice nap under the desk when I heard this banging and banging on my door. It couldn’t be Ryan b/c he has a key, and anybody else would have called first. [...]

I don’t care if you normally do not find the comic strip Goats funny. YOU MUST READ TODAY’S COMIC.

So Sean’s back… and yeah, he was kinda miffed that I got mad at him while he was gone… but it seems OK. Or will be OK. Hard to tell, he wasn’t on all his meds today, and drove a lot, which’ll put anybody out of it.
I think something changed, though I’m not [...]

Sean and I had a nice talk tonight. It’s amazing how much better everything is after everybody tells their sides. I had to breach the subject of what we are going to do when he leaves. It wasn’t very fun for a while, but I feel soooo much better. We’re still [...]

Sorry about the aweful table formatting, but meh. I fixed the grammar and the aweful html errors at least. :-)
I hung out with Sean all evening and [...]

Who is that with Jeremy?
This kid is probably the happiest baby I’ve ever seen.

So around noon today Ryan called and woke me up. It woke Sean up too. *.* I wasn’t planning on seeing Ryan until after he got home from work, but he made a big deal out of how I was at Sean’s and so he had nothing to do until he left for work. [...]

This afternoon I’ve been putting off studying for my biochem midterm. A little while ago I finally got myself in the mindset to study– but I was exhausted. I slept until 2pm today, even. I’ve been a good girl and haven’t had coffee in a /long/ time, though the delicious brew tempts [...]

New title! I like it, I got if off a can of Cherry 7-Up. :-)
Rasmol, UC Berkeley enhanced version. This is a very nifty little program to view all those protiens you come across so often.
RCSB Protein Data Bank. Where to find all that nifty info to make pretty pictures in Rasmol.
Scene.org: [...]

I’m playing around with the colors, as you can see. Please, let me know what you guys like and don’t like so far. :-);

There was once a cruise ship that went down. I saw a scene where this Mr-T looking-dude is almost killed, but survives. The guy who was trying to kill him was made to look like he was saving Mr. T.
Years later I am throwing a party for the cruise passengers in my apartment. [...]

I’ve purposely kept out of contact with my old friend Kim. She’s very clingy, gets depressed easily, lies to get attention, and gets jealous if I talk to any other friends. We used to be pretty good friends, but after 6th grade I couldn’t take it very well. She moved away junior [...]

The nerd in me enjoyed waaaay too much this article about coffee and gas chromatography from the American Chemical Society. GC-MS and other analytical chemistry techniques can be used to pick out the exact compounds giving your favorite brew its taste. If you’ve had a semester of gen-chem somewhere most of the article [...]
