chloroquine's Journal: late night thoughts while listening to column drip

So the last time I wrote it was getting on 0130h. I ended up walking home at about 0600h. The funny thing was that I could say with an almost straight face, that I had worked a 9 to 6 day. Only it was 9am to 6am. I don't like walking home while the sun rises.

I took most of the next day off. I slept until two and then got a sandwich at the nearby deli. Then slept again until almost six. Then back to work from seven until ten-ish. I'm still a bit tired.

I'm still running out the gels on the samples I was doing on those columns. In the meantime, I've gotten the new antibodies I was waiting for and I can start the reverse IPs. I was also able to show that the proteins that we found through sequencing my complex actually size in the same fractions as well. I even tried something that we didn't see in the sequencing, and although the antibody is kind of crappy, I see bands. Not in the sizing though. It could be too dilute and the antibody could be too old. I am going to try to borrow some from a friend in another lab.

Enough of the science babble.

I am watching Titus as portrayed by Anthony Hopkins. I keep wincing as things get impossibly worse and worse for the protagonist. I'm fascinated by the mix of different costumes and artefacts. There are notes from many different centuries and all. I just spoke on the phone with a friend and she was horrified that I am watching it and liking it. She was really affected by some of the scenes with Titus' daughter Lavinia. I'm trying to be good and not talk about the plot directly.
