Watched episode 2 of Season 4 of 24. I am still disliking Erin Driscoll, all she seems capable of doing is imitating the bureacratic airs of Ryan Chappelle (and we know what happened to him...) I also think the Secretary of Defense's son has major mental issues. With his wild eyes and frantic gesticulating motions, something in him is definitely unhinged.
As always, 24 has to feature some loopy teenagers and in this season, it's Behrooz and his girlfriend, Debbie, who whines about being neglected. I feel that girls should learn to stop caring about whether or not their boyfriends pay attention to them. It's up to girls to find stuff to do with their time and let the guys come to them, and beg for THEIR attention for a change. Perhaps when I was younger, I was similarly guilty of this neediness syndrome but I think over the years I have developed quite a capacity for being emotionally self-sufficient. At the very least, I am good at coming up with ways of self-amusement. But perhaps that's also because I'm borderline anti-social, which I will hasten to add, only AT TIMES.
Today I will do a final beta-galactosidase assay on one of my mutant strains. It involves, as with the others, growing cell cultures up to a certain level of density which translates to me waiting for the cells to grow and divide, grow and divide at their leisurely pace. What a beta-galactosidase assay does is measure the protein expression/activity within a certain cell and is a way for me to determine whether or not a particular mutant cell is functioning. Next week I get to do mutagenesis which means unleashing on the cells on kinds of unholy terrors in the form of deadly toxins so that we create severely mutated E.coli cells. I was forewarned that what I do to these bacterial DNAs, I can potentially do onto my own DNA. Too bad being a real life mutant won't be nearly as glamourous as we've been led to believe. BTW, a question that just occurred to me, the teenage mutant ninja turtles...were they like docile turtles that crawled on all fours prior to mutation? maybe Jason will kindly illuminate that fact for us.

So what are you saying? You don't need me? Is that it?
Who wouldn't go and ask those guy if they were engineers?? hmmmmmmmm?? Who? Yeah, anti-social.
There are many different stories about the origins of the turtles. Go here to read up!

Too much background info on the TV series. I don't want to read all that.
Come on Jase, you don't want a GF who bugs you all the time. I know better.
ZATHURA!
You didn't yell at me about my post. I thought you'd be the first one to take objection.
