My task today is to set up various cell cultures plated on a medium with an antibiotic selector. I am working with three strains of bacteria, one normal and the other two are mutants. My experiment is to see at what concentration of cells grow best in a medium with the antibiotic. Sounds pretty simple right? Well it is, except for the fact that I have to do seven serial dilutions for each strain and plus, I am also testing it under conditions with and without a certain other ingredient. Sorry if I'm starting to sound like Alan Greenspan but this is definitely tedium infinito.
No further shallow and disdainful comments today on the latest episode of 24, because I haven't gotten around to it yet. I am discovering the simple joy of starting a forum and was very into setting it up last night with my good friend WWZ.
Was just pondering the question of what it means to be hypocritical. If there is something that you don't wish other people to do to you, but you wish to do yourself, is that a screaming neon flashing sign of hypocrisy? Or is it simply that you're being true to your human nature? I have always been very dutiful (in general) in abiding by the saying "Don't do onto others what you don't wish others to do onto you." So I suppose the simplistic conclusion is, if you were to do onto others what you don't wish others to do onto you, you are a "BAD" person and a "HYPOCRITE" to boot. My, what solemn judgments are thus pronounced.
But don't get me wrong...I may sound like I'm mocking the system, but I'm not. I am merely reflecting on it....

What do you wish to do? Dump me? Is that it? Well you can't because the second you try it, I will have done it to you preemptedly!
Are you going to cheat on me!?!??!?!!? Is THAT it?!?!?!?!!? That's it isn't it!??!!?!? That's it, looks like I'm just going to have to beat you to the punch.
Can someone else besides this paranoid nut respond and comment?
you spelled a word wrong. i'll let you figure out which one it is, you with all your little games.
I already know which one I spelled wrong. I was just too lazy to spell check it to figure out how to spell it correctly. And no one else will comment on here. You don't want me to comment? Then I won't comment.

Stop it, you're being completely ridiculous and hysterical. Who's supposed to be the man in this relationship huh?
Ok, ok, I'll stop.
Joking aside, I just watched this movie called "Kids". My friend from work recommended it to me. It's really messed up. I don't know, somehow, I can picture you liking it. Not because it's really messed up but because this is the type of movie I think you dig. I can send it to you if you want. It's basically about these ghetto kids in New York City and oh what mischef are they going to get into? Let me just warn you by saying I was very disturbed by it. Oh, I also thought it was kind of funny because when my friend was telling me about it, it came across as comical. He has a way of putting comical spins on things.
ooh free movie? what are you waiting for darling? *muah*
Here's my reflection on the word:
The word "hypocrite" has a somewhat negative moral label to it. it's like "selfish" but worse than "selfish". it describes certain inherent and inevitable human traits and stamps a moral judgement on it. I mean we're condition by our society and culture that we would like to conform to their values. when doing that, we have to pretend we're better than what we are.
but the word applies to all of us I think, just at different levels. I don't think "hypocrite" == "bad" is an absolute equality, even "bad" itself can't be absolutely bad[maybe you disagree, sorry I don't intend to open up a conversation on whether absolute good or bad exists, or good vs. evil]. Maybe we should just admit it for once and all so that we don't feel the need to be righteous, attempting to prove otherwise. what do you think?
