Sep. 11th, 2006 07:50 pmWes Clark reminds us we have nothing to fear but fear.
This links to a page with an excerpt of Clark's podcast. AS much as I dislike podcasts (mostly because I hate talk radio of any sort), I think I might actually check this out.
By the way, can I go ahead and cast my 2008 ballot for Clark for President now?
ETA -- huh, you have to subscribe via itunes. I'm too lazy, but I found the transcript

Sep. 11th, 2006 10:29 pmWow, it feels good to have the decongestant kick in finally. First time in a few days I haven't been trying to claw my ears off at night. I'd appreciate the northern wind to stop blowing in whatever the heck it is that is driving my allergies insane. Well, okay, insane by a mild standard, but given that this summer has been amazing for me in that department, I find it odd.
Gave boss flowers, a vase, and a chocolate frog for her birthday today. Turns out I managed to "pick" one of her favorite types of flowers and she used to collect frogs in college. *tells muse to change shape STAT* So that went over well.
Half my experiment problems have been solved. What's left appears to be cell line specific so I'll see if I can get enough cells to do the experiments I want in primary cells while I try a couple of things to see if I can get my data for the cell line to approach normal. *tries to ignore the sound of the ticking clock*
If I thought it was possible, I would institute taboo topics of conversations with my parents (specifically my mother). I doubt I'll ever manage to get them to stop asking how X experiment or reagent is going --- which wouldn't bother me as much right now but beyond not being able to explain anything well to them, my mom can't follow an explanation or remember it even for one conversation right now. I think any family member outside of my father would be added to the list of taboos, so I guess that wouldn't give us much to talk about. Oh the wonders of having enough characters in my own family to write a soap opera. I guess I really should strive to live a more interesting so I'd have something to talk about and distract her with. Sadly, I don't make the money for that sort of thing...plus it would probably freak her out since she's always been half way convinced that I'll manage to walk into a bank robbery, get mugged, or worse in broad daylight.
I do come by my worry wart ways naturally....still not sure how much of my genetically inheritied Type A personality I've managed to eradicate -- ah well, another flip through the Tao Te Ching won't hurt any.
Dinner tonight was almost a half of chocolate chip and pecan tea bread. *mmmm* I used half rice flour for it so it almost tastes like cookie dough (but fully cooked, I know, it's odd, but oooh so good).
