Ennui

I've not been posting very much lately. Part of the reason is that work is so boring right now. I'm just doing endless Westerns with some IHC mixed in. Boring and repetitious. And that sort of thing bleeds over into everything else eventually. Maybe next week when I start doing some microarray analysis I'll perk up a bit.

I woke up a few hours early this morning and as a result watched the last two episodes of Dirty Sexy Money. I was going to wait until the next episode on Wednesday so I could see 3 in a row but I didn't have any other sets of 2 shows recorded right now. That show is beginning to grow on me. Peter Krause, who portrays lawyer Nick George, is perfect in his part. His lack of expression when the Darlings, his employers, do outrageous things is priceless.

The addition of Peter Strauss as Dutch George in the November 28th episode is nice. He's got a face with a wealth of character and is a great addition to existing cast members Donald Sutherland and Jill Clayburgh. This trio show just how well a weathered face can convey a wealth of information. It's nice to see a show with some older folk on it.

I wonder if it's just coincidence that father and son have names that sound so much alike? Peter Strauss and Peter Krause.

I started watching this show and found it amusing, but I forgot to tape any of the preceding shows so I am lost. Oh well, I guess I can go on the website and see if they offer the episodes there like they are now doing with Burn Notice (*#@% for making us wait til summer for new ones)!

Dave, I got confused with the last show. I thought Dutch was dead (in a plane accident) and now this guy shows up.

I really enjoy this show, especially when they don't go for broad laughs.

Have you watched the last 2 Heroes yet? I have been putting it off, waiting until I have time to watch them back to back!

You know if there's older folk in it, the show isn't going to last long. :P

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
