Unhappy DNA monkey

Well, regarding that previous post about how I've sorted out my DNA woes, well, no, I haven't. The darn bastards. I completely should have bought the Invitrogen Gigaprep kit just because it was on sale. I mean, darn it, it's completely not turned out the way I expected it to. Basically, I've transfected the cells with the previously said DNA, I got PATHETIC efficiency, we're talking 10% here. Oh the trials and tribulations of the research world.

Anyways, been stuck on all the work for the past few days. It's been totally hectic. I did manage to pop down to Borough Market yet again last saturday to pick up a rack of lamb. It was awesome. Went to C's place to cook. I guess I had to make up for the shitty lab results somehow. Somehow, devouring dead animals seems to help. I wonder how the vegetarians take it. I can't.

The wife (soon to be) is in Thailand on her mission trip. I'm sad, I miss her. Not being to call her as and when I wish is really annoying. Didn't manage to call her for 3 days, because I had lectures from mon to wed at the time she could use the phone. That totally didn't help with this week.

At least I've finally managed to finish writing the paper that's been stewing in the works for a year. SO the week hasn't been all bad. Been so packed up I haven't even had to time to check up on the blogs I normally read. It's been too mad.

This is sad, I've taken to drivveling about my mundane scholastic life. (As opposed to monastic). I wonder if monks blog, if so, what about.....
