Shhh! Don't tell anyone, ok?

I just realized I was thinking about doing something kind of stupid. But I realized it before I actually did it, so that makes it better, right?

I'm thinking, I've never done this, I wonder how it works?
*head scratch*
*ponder*
Hmmmm
*scribble*
*ponder*
I slept on it, people. I fucking slept on it. Then I came in this morning and scribbled on it some more, then sat down to write a little note to the people at the sequencing facility to ask the question. Before I was halfway done with my note, it hit me why I couldn't figure out how I could do this.

It's because I can't really do it this way.

Dumbass.

I'm going to blame this on the Topamax, because it's better than the alternative.

The good news is, I'm well enough on top of things to have figured out a lot of other stuff that won't quite work the way Thing1 would like them to. Now if I can only wrap my brain around solving the problems the way I know they need to be solved, I'll be golden.

Laugh-In Day

I started my morning with a near-death experience, thanks to a laugh over at Colleen's place that came awfully close to nasal-collision force with my morning milk and powdered donette breakfast.

Then a certain repoman ensured yet again that I am going to hell by sending me into snickers with a little something (which he got from elsewhere - I don't want him getting any special treatment in hell for coming up with this): That which does not kill me, places me in a persistent vegetative state.
Oh, lordy.

And now, thanks to a tip via Radley Balko over at The Agitator, we have this little bit of almost not-safe-for-work funnitude: Hard at work at the UN. Look at the picture.

Look quickly, and if you're sharp, take a screenshot and save it before the Al-jazeera folks take it down, wouldja?
Edit: For those of you who missed it, the image portrayed a number of security council members around a table on which were placed several laptop computers. On one computer screen were. . . (of course). . . boobies!. Based on the comments below the article, the picture was up for two days before it was replaced with the more benign shot you see now. Imagine the titillation that swept through the Arab world during that two days. w00t!

So that's three good laughs in one day. Not bad :)
