Avast, Me Mateys!

'Tis a pirate's life for me.

Well, today was not all that it could have been. Wednesday is supposed to be one of my weekdays that I devote to lab work this semester; however, the fates seem to have conspired against me. First, when Heather and I come in, we find a team of electricians that are re-wiring the lab. That means no power for the computer or the Diastron (characterization thingy). That lasted about 20 minutes. After loading a tray, the Diastron developed a bad attitude and slowed me down; it was well past 12:30 before I could sneak away to lunch. Also, the lab computer and Heather's computer both have the same computer virus, so the tech guys are playing with those.

I wound up calling it quits a little after lunch, came home, ran to the store, and did some reading for my classes tomorrow. I fiddled with the database for a little bit, and watched the Mythbusters Pirate Special. Pretty neat stuff. Tacos for dinner.

Regarding Jeff's rant from last night, I have a pontification of my own. It was stated last night on Boston Legal that the diagnosis of the Peanut Allergy of Sudden Death has doubled in the past few years. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Has this allergy been around the whole time, and there were just a lot of DFO's (Done Fell Out) in public schools until someone recently made the connection? Are aliens from the planet Peanutron 6 softening us up for an invasion? Or is this George Washington Carver's sick pyschotic legacy? What's the deal?

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

Yarrrgh.
