hmm, south loop?
shorthairedrapunzel: hmm, should i live in the south loop? there’s a massive dog park there and i could take the metra to work… http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/apa/1578083196.html this place would be cheaper then my place now, but not by much. The people I know who live there seem to really like it. I thought about it when I was looking for a new place last Spring. You could take the 2...

I had...
…two gin & cranberries last night, never got drunk, metabolized the hell out of my drinks, drank water, AND ate before going to bed and getting no fewer than six hours of sleep. Still, I had a headache when I woke up. Aging can kiss my ass.

Awkward hair discussion at work today
februaryfebruary: I work with a girl who wears a sew in. Yesterday morning she told me she was getting a haircut. I asked her is she was cutting her hair or if she was cutting the sew in. “This is all my hair.” I thought she misunderstood what I said so I asked my question again. “Are you going to cut your real hair or what you have sewn in?” “This is all my hair.” I laughed. Not like loud...

I need to pay attention.
Just tried to elute my DNA preps with wash buffer. At least it wasn’t the other way around; am I right?! Edit: Plus side…extra clean DNA.

kiamatthews: So I was blasting Shots! in my office and the new girl came in. She’s fresh out of college and I was like “Do you know this song?” She says “Not only do I know it but I have LMFAO’s whole CD and I will bring you a copy tomorrow.” We then went on to talk about Jersey Shore and fist pumping on the dance floor and she says “I’m gonna suggest that you check out FRATMUSIC.com if you’re...

Personal love for a state tradition
absurdlakefront: Despite the constant discord of the political sphere, I always look forward to State of the Union speech.  Even under Bush I looked forward to the SotU.  This is probably my 15th year in a row of watching the speech, and I’m looking forward to seeing what Obama will say tonight despite the differences and disappointments that have come up in the last year. Everytime I hear the...

cobb, you are hella packed
shorthairedrapunzel: Now that Cobb takes cards, they are super packed. You can’t even move in there. I can still get my delicious lentil soup, but how can I sit around and make fun of weirdos if I can’t get a table? I’ve been actively trying to forget that Cobb takes cards for a while now. I can’t face the temptation to ditch my boring lunches and grab makhani dishes on days that I...

shorthairedrapunzel: kkkkkates: Today I’m living on the edge and eating expired eggs. I saw somewhere that when you buy eggs they are Grade A, and past their expiration date (not much past mind you…not talking like months here), they just become Grade B, which are still ok to eat. I always do that floating vs. sinking thing.

bnfabian: Using my lunch hour to do my taxes.  Keep in mind that the past 4 years I’ve PAID the government $500-$1,000 each year so when I saw that I was getting a federal refund of $1,422 I ABOUT SHIT MYSELF!!! That’s enough to pay movers this summer, have my deposit ready for our next place in Wicker Park and get the camera I think about nonstop every day. Oh man!  I shouldn’t let money make...

HOLY SHIT! I just sorted out some genotyping data, and it looks like our transgene product is working like we expected (read: hoped and prayed that it would). Crucial. Note: I’m severely restraining my nerdery right now. I was gonna go into A LOT more detail, but I’ll not put you through that. Just know that this like, MAKES our ataxia project if it’s true.

bnfabian: Today my Facebook is flooded with people in Indiana rejoicing in Brown’s Senate win.  I’ve tried to be respectful, but keep asking what Brown’s pros are outside of creating generic excitement for the Republican seat they just won.  Everyone seems to agree that they don’t agree with most of his stances on the issues, they just like the message it’s sending Democrats. Something about...

4 day weekend
shorthairedrapunzel: I was home sick yesterday, so I had a 4 day weekend. Totally spoiled. Now I’m just going to whine all day about work. I was sickish on Friday, so I had a 4-day weekend, too. Going back to work yesterday was the hardest thing ever.
