Same Crap, Different Day
As of late, it seems like every day has been the exact same as the last.
I get up, check e-mail, get cleaned up and go to the lab. Once in the lab, I test the same damned dna samples that I’ve been testing for basically the last month. There’s just enough data to make the goat kids I’m screening worth keeping and doing more testing, but not enough data to make a definitive conclusion.
When I get done at the end of the day, I go home, and do the same things I do every night. Mind you, I enjoy them a great deal, so that’s not really the problem.
I think I’m starting to get a.)bored and b.) fed up. If this stuff with my project would just straigten out, it would be fine. I could go on to something else and things would no longer be boring. I usually love being in the lab, but lately–because of all this doing the same thing everyday all day–I’ve hated being here.
I was talking to one of the undergraduates who works in our lab about everything and she made the comment “same s***, different day,” which I thought was a terrific sentimint.
In other news, I’m also kind of a bit worried over summer funding. I’m not sure what I’m going to do if I don’t get a ta-ship… You have to pay taxes on fellowship stipends (suckage, I know), and that took a huge chunk out of the saving account since they don’t pull the money out ahead of time. I can’t live a whole summer on 1500 dollars… I’m praying that it will all work out.
On a happier note, the house cleaning fairy finally came… She did kind of look like me though and I seem to remember doing all of the work. It’s all nice and pretty and clean now–except this giant pile of laundry I need to fold and put away. Maybe tonight I’ll get around to it.
As far as other things, I finally got my Danny/Mary fansite online. The url is http://danny-and-mary.written-in-stars.net if anyone is interested in checking it out. Now that it’s up, I want to finish my personal site. Also, my mary/delinda fanlisting is in bad need of a new layout.
I think that’s everything at the moment…

Hi,
I’d seen the same article earlier on cnn.com…. I knew it was a longshot, but I’d been hoping that maybe, just maybe, with all of the postcards and everything that else… I completely and totally blame NBC for not doing more to save this show, and along time ago. Last season, when they started getting hurt in the ratings due to the competition, they should have started then… Moved it to a different time spot, promoted it more–like any sane network would do. I remember years ago when ER and Chicago Hope both premiered the same year, and they were up against each other at first. CH got creamed in the ratings, but CBS got it away from ER, promoted it, and it lasted for 6 seasons!
I really, honestly believe that NBC is starting to stand for Nothing But Crap. If it weren’t for the fact that the only tv show left that I I watch is on NBC, I’d likely boycott….
