So glad it's Friday, OMG

First thing this morning was lab meeting. Excruciatingly boring. Poke-my-eyes-out levels. The Chief even wanted to get up and leave.

Yesterday's work-related rant was muted by why_me_why_not's happy-making post and by a) constant reminders that it was Hotass Brothers Day (which ended up being *such* a disppointment), b) only one day remained until the Gym Class Heroes show (YAY!), and c) the appearance of this month's AP, complete with Rise Against interview.

I'm mostly over it. Mostly. But the day is young.

To let you know the level of yesterday's stupidity, I'm just going to ask you science-type people one question: if I told you to use isobutanol from a bottle containing a settled mixture of water and isobutanol, which layer would you take, the upper or lower?

Uh-huh. The Idiot was not clear on whether hydrocarbons were more or less dense than water, and was choosing the wrong layer. For making gels. Which he made wrong. Twice. Because apparently the label "1.5M Tris pH 8.8" really means "1.5M Tris + 20% SDS". Really.



So. TONIGHT, I AM GOING TO HAVE DRINKS AT ABSINTHE, AND LISTEN TO THE GYM CLASS HEROES, AND NOT THINK ABOUT WORK EXCEPT TO BE GRATEFUL I HAVE A JOB AND I'VE GOT THE WEEKEND OFF.



*smirk*

Is it wrong that my first thought upon receiving Ticketmaster's weekend ticketing notice is that Metro Station's tour title is possibly the least accurate thing ever? "One Hot Night In November"? If it's not sold out the day-of, I might go just to laugh at their skeeze.

Metro Station is made of skeeze but I still kinda love them.

YAY FOR GCH! I hope you're having fun! *mwah*

*puckers up*

A didn't want to come so I was by myself, but when I went to the bar I ran into some friends, and we all hung out. The show was pretty good but I wanted to hear more of the new album that they did.

They did a medley of songs from Papercut Chronicles that was pretty awesome. :)


Trace used to be cute, but now he's just skeezy. I'm entertained by their camera-whore tendencies, though.

I really like the new GCH album.

And Metro is kinda like a trainwreck, I don't wanna watch but I can't turn away. Idek.

if I told you to use isobutanol from a bottle containing a settled mixture of water and isobutanol, which layer would you take, the upper or lower?

Well, considering the density of water is 1 g/L, and isobutanol is about 0.8 g/L (hmm... oil floats on water, too, doesn't it?), I'd take the upper layer.

Hope you have a good weekend!

YES! The UPPER layer. But no. For some reason, this concept was not comprehensible.

The weekend was much better. No work, no colleagues.

How was yours?

We had a great weekend - lovely weather, all three days of it, Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' house yesterday, and spent the day hiking with friends today. It's a pity we have to go back to work tomorrow.
