To feel beautiful in this skin - 1:14 PM
WorkBeen a busy week and it slacked off by Friday - because i ran out of cells. But I did get to do some of my Lab Manger duties which was good to tick them off. But was working on the TNFa promoter this week and ran some of John's samples through it. I still need to graph the results.
Social
Well not much on the social front mainly due to Nick working late most of this week, though I went and got my 30th birthday present. 
The worse part of it was the anticipation, but once it was started it was about as bad as freezing your self to something. Not very pleasant but not to bad. I felt bad on Friday as I had promised Arlene I wold come to Boogie Wonderland with her, but I forgot, she even sent me a text reminding me which I didn't get until I was home when Nick gave me back my cell phone. I shall have to make her cake. I also meant to go and see my friends in Mt Eden but didn't really make it, due to Nick having to go to work. I mowed the lawns yesterday, then sat on the lawn in the sun and read a book. Was all good. Right now I am really enjoying some Smashing Pumpkins.

Playing some WoW and some Wii Play, and of course Bejeweled when things get boring.
Wellness
Hopefully everything is still on track, though I feel it is and clothes I brought earlier this year are starting to hang on me. Been so busy lately preparing stuff takes time, where as takeaways or cheese toasties seem easier. I need to go and buy some fruit and vegetables today.
Yumminess
I had this really nice salad with fresh spinach, sun dried tomatoes, capsicum, tarragon and pumpkin seeds. Sprinkled with a little bit of garlic salt. Was nice. Argh I still haven't had any sushi. I had a good cheese burger too.
Media
Sione's Wedding
This was a laugh a minute and I thoroughly enjoyed it. One to add to the DVD collection.

Although good I felt it was trying to be Running with Scissors for the main stream.
TideLand
This was odd, but in saying that it is a Terry Gilliam movie. I could see what he was trying to do, shame he didn't have the budget and or a child actor who knew what he wanted. The best parts were with Jeff Bridges.100 Bullets
This is a graphic novel and one of the best you will read. So next time you are wandering past a store that purveys in this type of merchandise, wander in and have a read.Hell Boy - The Troll Witch and Others
Is a short story collection, but covers the time he went to Africa a long time ago. With some others, and with any short story collection some are good and some are average. I liked it, but then I love the style and all that.
Projects
I am currently working on a oil burner, which is being more difficult than I though, mainly because of the carving I am doing.
I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here
