Damn.. I wonder if they just have certain sites flagged, or torrents flagged...
When they shut you down, what did they say?

You truly are the engine that powers the British economy.

They're lucky to have me.

Well, bad couple of days, primarily ruined by the death (by falling) of my beloved phone... I loved that little sucker, as it kept me in constant contact with the online world as I chased my children's outdoor playing needs around.... will replace it some time soon, but for now it's back to the prepaid crap... ugh, and the crappy low capacity mp3 player i used to carry about... it was better when it was all one device! Nevermind!

Interesting day today. My lab uses a chemical called Trizol to extract DNA from plant tissue. I keep my plant tissue frozen with liquid nitrogen and then dump it in the Trizol. For those who don't know, liquid nitrogen changes to a gas very quickly and gas expands. Put it into a closed tube and, well, it'll blow. I thought all the liquid nitrogen in my sample had dried up, so I went ahead and stuck it in the tube and closed it. It then blew up right in my face. I never had to use the eye washer thing in my lab, so that was a first. As I stand there hunched over with high pressure water gushing into my eyes, my coworker walks by and starts reading off the consequences of getting Trizol in there. Clouding of the cornea, swelling, tissue damage, and eventual blindness were some of the few charming issues that were potentially ahead of me.

A hospital trip later and it turns out I got to the eye washer fast enough. No blindness to speak of just yet. I didn't remember when I last got a tetanus shot, so I ended up getting one of those too. This all comes during one of the longest freaking weeks I've had in a long time. UGH.

^Dude, you're a scientist? That's cool.

In other news, I feel like hell and I have a gig tonight. We'll see how things pan out. Should be interesting. Played a gig last night and got pretty well ****housed. Picking my sister up from the airport in Atlanta tomorrow, and then another gig on Saturday. And then my going away party on Sunday. Then one last week in South Carolina, and I'm out this bitch!

I was somewhat of a scientist back in the day.

By that I mean I bought some test tubes when I was about 9 and put any household products I could find in them..

I guess it's a bit different from Duga.

They named the file by name, Originator tag and all. Said I had to delete the file before they could turn the service back on and the copyright holders would be notified. Never heard anything about it again.

What a bunch of cox.

Yep, sure am. Though it's not very cool when chemicals are splashed in my face, I do enjoy my job.

That was me when I was little. I had the whole visible man thing, a cheap toy microscope, and a few kiddy science kits. I think I just took it a step further and now I get to mess with DNA and stuff.
