Now there's a Lotr Trival Pursuit-DVD Edition, which could be fun. Alas it's $50 which is more than I want to spend on anything right now.

Corey and Aunt Carol are coming into town tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get to spend lots of time with them. Thank goodness I don't have to do a TGF-Β this week...that would make it near impossible to have free time. Ah well. It's funny how yes, I'm supposed to work eight hours, but take a 7 hour assay and add to it the dilution, acidification, neutralization and just plain thawing time and there is a great chance that I would be late to class that night. I guess the only thing for it is to go in early. Boo. But that's in the future.

This past weekend was good, though I once again waited until the last minute to write my conclusion for orgo lab. I've really got to stop that. It's not cool to try and function on four hours sleep. And my knees would probably hurt less if they were straight for a few more hours But after lab (and a nap, of course) I went to Blueberry Hill for dinner with Kate and Molly and Cat and Tony, which was nice, and then we headed over to Tony's place for a game of Trivial Pursuit (yay for tying the entry together, right?) and basketball. Not that I had any interest in the game, but the WVU/Wake game was pretty good. The one coach had a very blazing blue tie on. I miss basketball sometimes. Not that I was ever any good, but it sure was fun to shoot and make a basket, when it just swished in there perfectly...

yesterday I fixed my parents' internet...don't know what happened, but somehow the Modem control panel just went poof! Yeah for working again. That poor computer. It still works just fine, but it connects SOOOO slow to the internet. But yes, working is good. I feel bad, though, that I can't donate my old laptop to my parents' cause, as the monitor just doesn't work. Boo. I guess if that was your only computer, the extreme amount it would take to repair the monitor wouldn't be that bad, but I don't think it's worth it. Perhaps I should try to convince them to get a Mac Mini, since we do have an old monitor sitting in the basement from the old desktop that never got fixed. Ah well. I guess we'll see.

Tomorrow is a very sad anniversary, so I will talk about it then. Not now. Now I shall return to reading my very good book (total escapism here) while waiting for the ELISA to incubate. Yay.
