this post is totally unrelated to that icon, sadly
...but I have no holiday icons. So. You get Spencer Smith sticking out his tongue instead. That's just as smile-inducing as an approaching holiday/vacation, right? Esp. if you were there when that photo was taken. :D
+ today's socks are dark blue, with snowmen and red-nosed reindeer (OMG, I just typed reigndeer first. WTAF?)
+ Aaron informed me last night that today's half-day is the last day he works until 3January; I believe this means that he should finish addressing holiday cards, house-cleaning and gift-wrapping next week, since I do NOT have the week off
+ delivered pumpkin bread, home-brew and such to colleagues this afternoon \o/
+ we (the lab, obvsly) have spent an appalling amount of money on antibodies in the last four months. APPALLING. Thank goodness for the CPRIT M&O budget, which dwarfs the NIH R01 M&O budget (and how tragic is that, since the NIH is the premiere public funding agency for life-science-related research?)
+ I remain fascinated by word/phrase usage in spin, and the way even supposedly neutral media outlets like Yahoo slant political news: Bipartisan bill preventing big tax hikes heads to Obama today. As if these would be *new* taxes, not the end of the Shrub-sponsored crap that took the US from a budget surplus to a budget deficit, and also as if it weren't *increasing* taxes for the very lowest incomes while maintaining significant benefits for the wealthiest 1% of Americans
+ feeling an overpowering urge to have risotto for supper. Decision: make it myself, or head to happy hour at Mia Bella?

Brad is a Recon Marine. He is a certified Master Scuba Diver; he can and has slogged through conditions that would fell a lesser man; he knows the specifications of 90% of commonly used small arms, and can assemble and disassemble them, some literally with one hand tied behind his back.
This should not be this difficult, in comparison.
Jesus Christ, they're just cookies!
Just Nate's favorite cookies.
With a sigh, he gropes for the broom - the handle should be long enough to reach the smoke detector. Once it's quiet, he'll work on cleaning up and trying again.
