Blog of Bling #17- Minutia-mania

Not a lot that's interesting has happened in the last few weeks, thus the long delay between posts. I guess I could update everyone on the minutia of my life, but that's just not the blog of bling way. Well, maybe just a little...

I did make the team of the week in my 7-aside football (soccer) league this week.



Unfortunately, the three green guys on the left side of the image were all playing for the opposing team and we lost yet again, 1-3. In order to stave off relegation, we'll have to win in two weeks against the second worst (points wise as we are clearly better than last...) team in the league.

I guess one more thing I could mention is that I'll be back in states March 20th, and back in Louisville March 25th, and I'll be staying through April 7th (one day past the NCAA championship game, which was completely accidental of course). I'll be presenting some results (well, lack of results) at the Chlamydia Basic Research Society Conference in Little Rock Arkansas. Weird, I know, but its a free trip home!

Blog of Bling #15- A Bling's Life Bonus Round

Hello faithful Blog of Bling-ers! Apologies for the delay in a new post. The reason for the delay is that I'm actually going mentally insane. Every waking moment I am drifting farther from sanity into an abyss of frustration and senility. Therefore, I will quickly catch you all up on my life in London 2009 so far. Then I will go back into the laboratory and transfer incredibly small volumes of samples that may or may not be contaminated from one tube to another. I'll quit working when I'm so hungry I physically begin to shake and can no longer pipette accurately.

So here goes:

I scored a 40 yard goal to take the lead for my team in my Sunday Soccer league. It was probably one of the better goals I've ever scored. We ended up losing though.

Some bouncer wouldn't let me into a shitty club until my entire group threatened to leave. Then he let me in and we left anyway because it sucked.

The "Britain Blizzard" officially ended today. Apparently six inches of snow in 36 hours on a city that never sees snow and is entirely dependent on public transportation will cause chaos. I walked to work yesterday which took about an hour both ways. I was told the distance from my house to work is about 8-10 km, which I think means about 25 miles.

Shut up, you don't know the conversion of Km to miles either...

Not new: my flat houses seven people. New: the normal people have now outnumbered the crazy people. We're having a party on friday in which a bunch of scientists, nurses, Australians, IT representatives, and a couple snobby girls will mix it up. Fireworks (or perhaps just fires) are expected.

Alright boys and girls, fun time is over as my boss just walked behind me a big "Blog of Bling" window open on my computer. Time to go finish creating an ulcer and pulling out my hair!
