Spin spin spin,
Today has been just crazy. this is the first real chance I've had to sit down and write anything. It hasn't helped that I was an insomniac last night. You know life is getting weird when you can't sleep because its too quiet.
I had to hit the bank this AM so I ended up getting in a bit late and have spent the rest of the day playing catch-up. In good news I have all the paperwrk done for the APPT. and will be moving in some time around the 15th.
In bad news this si probably the absolute worst tie to take off for a few days to go to boston, which I am doing sometime tomorow. I have a number of assays to finish up before my presentation next week, not to mention I have to finish writing the presentation and get it practiced a few ties.
I also have a bunch of D&D stuff to work on (les important but still stuff to do) laundry, cleaning, rest (yeah right). I always seem to come back from vacation more tired than I go into it.
In other bad news I got the lowest grade in my molecular basis of disease class, which sucks. I deserve it for the slack ass last minuite job I did for the grant proposal, but it still urks me.
Lately I've been feeling fairly unsmart. Not stupid mind you, but I just feel like its becomming harder to think. I can recall all sorts of answers, but to rework things and come up with something orgional..thats the difficult thing. I used to be very very good at this. Disecting a problem and finding a new way to look at it. Maybe I modified myself to be more normal. I've done a lot of stupid things like that.
Yeah I know this post is all over the place. I have to put down thoughts when I have them or they are gone, the way of the rainbow. Its going to be a late night here. I have a gel running that won't be done for another hour and then 30 minuites of drying after that. so I'm looking at getting home around 8ish, but who knows.
Not too much else to report....
No wait...
Another complaint about books and how authors are getting crappier...
When I was in borders the other night I picked up one of the newer Anne Rice books. Now to get something straight I really like Anne Rice. I even got to meet her a few years back. Her vampire cronicles are some of my favorite books as are the witching hour ones, the mummy, and servant of the bones. As of late her books have turned to utter shit. She should have stuck to her word and left the Vamp books end off with Memnoch the devil. There were a few after that which were ok, but all the new lestat books have sucked big time.
So the book I picked up was called Blood Canticle or something like that. It pretty much just mixes the witch books and the vamp books, which blackwood farm started to do (that was almost unreadable). This newer book spins a lose plot line around a lot of soft core porn and slapped together love triangles that make soap operas look like masterpieces. Lestat falls in love with Rowan, who is married to michael (who has to save her), michael boned his little cousin and they had a baby, who was a monster that he killed and is now back as a ghost which is haunting lestat. The little cousin mona got sick and then was turned into a vamp by blackwood farm wuss, who was being haunted by a ghost, which got sent away by some chick who killed her self with it. She was turned into a vamp in the previous book by david.
Lordy, you need a bloody flow chart and characters of Anne Rice compagnion just to know whats happening. And as soon as you figure it out, might as well throw it all away because the next book will mix it all up again.
Ughhh
