The last 10 days of work have been unbelievably craptacular. My stash of TGFb must have gone through too many freeze-thaw cycles (b/c someone who shall remain nameless keeps leaving the freezer door hanging open), b/c it didn't actually activate the receptor, and all of last week's experiments were useless. This week, one sort of worked, and one sort of didn't, and the fucking luminometer, which we let stupid fucking clinicians from Internal Medicine use, was clogged with old reagent because said idjit clinicians don't know to clean up after themfuckingselves, and I spent hours last night and most of today getting it working again.
It's just this one last series of experiments, meant to hook the biochemistry with the cell biology with the physiological *point* of the proteins we study, that's being a pain in my ass.
So.
I need a happy list like you would not believe.
Right now, what's making you guys happy?
Me?
♥ Left Hand Milk Stout for supper
♥ Dante purring on my lap
♥ the possibility that we might move into shiny new lab space that will have windows (our current lab space was built in that era when architects apparently thought it was a good idea to have profs' offices at the perimeter and laboratories in the center of the building, with no access to sunlight)
♥ The Story, Brandi Carlile live. (courtesy of the random chick at the Brandi Carlile/Indigo Girls gig back in June; thanks for the signed CD)
♥ Robert Fisk's The Age of the Warrior.

Meme: When you see this, post an excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.
Oh, god. Do you know how many WIPs I have on my laptop and desktop?
( Bandom: Brendon/Shane/Regan fluffnsmut )
( Bandom: vampire!Jon/Brendon )
( CW RPS: Jensen/Steve )
( Harry Potter: Fred/George/Harry, potions incident leads to porn )
( Harry Potter: more Fred/George )
There's probably more, but some is almost finished, some is collaborative, and one is an exchange fic. So. Tell me what should get worked on, where you think they should go.
