Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
juliana, dude, if there were news, there'd be, you know, news. With an announcement. This, sadly, is either Emmett's mom's jolly stomach virus or just the emotional wreckage of a week spent knotted up in various-sized stressballs waiting for Hec's fuckwit ex-bosses to tip their hand and finally become ex-bosses.
Man, last week sucked. I don't think I realized just how much it sucked until it was over. Ass-clenchy, teeth-grindy, whoops-there-goes-my-stomach-lining sucked.

I need need need to find Pinky and the Brain figures for my brother. I looked up the abstract on the poster he presented yesterday, and other than the fact that a lot of the words and references in it are quite new to me (um, NAcSarGlyValDalloIleThrNvaIleArgProNHE, anyone ? How about angiogenesis or intracerebral xenograft model of glioblastoma?) , I managed to gather that my brother is futzing with tumorific mouse brains. Well, and killing mice. But anyway.
I know a lot of companies take off Patriot's Day because of the Marathon, due to it being a commuting HELLA NIGHTMARE AND PERIL AND OH NOES.
DC is that way for the Presidential Inauguration. It's a federal holiday, but only in DC and only if the government would otherwise be open. (So if it's, say, a Saturday, we don't get the previous Friday off.)
Angiogenesis I've actually heard of, I think, and the intracerebral xenograft thingie I think I can more or less stumble through, but that NASCAR glyval-whatsit -- buh?
However, Pinky and the Brain for your bro.
Happy birthday Mr. Scola!
Happy birthday, Tom! I hope this is a great year for you. Though I know you sometimes feel your process of change is very slow, I want to say that I have nothing but admiration for your courage and fortitude and that I have definitely seen much personal progress in the time I've known you--and you were a darn cool guy to begin with! Have a fantastic day!
I'm looking forward to the thunderstorms, but tuesday night's forecast has me making faces. [link]
JZ, thanks! I know the translation (ie, the cocktail party version) is that he's working with a drug that inhibits the type of blood vessels found in a type of cancer tumor, which luckily form readily in mouse brains. But about all I see familiar to that in his abstract is the part about mice brain tumors and killing mice.
happy birthday Tom Scola
Technically speaking, my company gives us off for Patriot's Day not so much for the Boston Marathon, but because since the race goes around 2/3s of our main building, they can't figure out how to get us all in and out of it what with the race barriers* and all.
