Its a friday. It was sunny. I finished lab early. I finished work early. I went to Old Navy. I got an iced chai. Otter pops and lemonade when I got home and an awesome dinner of steak. :D Am now enjoying fresh cantaloupe and watching the Labyrinth. Sara's a whiny bitch and the goblins are awesome and cute.

Curse you guilt tripping e-mails! CURSE YOU!
I just got back from donating plasma, which has become a 3rd source of income for me, and there in my inbox is an e-mail from the Inland Northwest Blood Center, where I donated blood during the school year, asking specifically for O negative donors to come in ASAP because blood banks are low O negative blood.
I feel horrible, because I kinda need the extra cash I get for donating plasma, but I feel so much better giving whole blood. If i do go donate blood, i'll have to drive to Moscow and then not donate plasma for 8 weeks, which would cost me over $400.
Curse my recessive blood type... and curse my stupid conscience which just reared its head. Why can't more than 7% of the human population be O- ? Seriously...
Sorry INBC, but I need money, and I don't have a car. If you had a center in Pullman, maybe I'd help you out.
Now I feel like a horrible human being...
Damn...

Not Amused
This is me:
I am not amused.
'Why is that?' you ask.
This was yesterday's weather.
60 and alternating between rain and sun.I can live with that, I'm from Seattle.
this was the weather today from 5 something in the morning 'til noon:
Yes, that is indeed snow. Somewhere between 1 and 2 inches fell today.
This is what it did to our tomatoes:
It killed them... or at the very least wounded them. :(
This is what happened to some of the other plants in Pullman:
And the next person to ask "Where's that Global Warming?" is going to get mauled. Please, for the love of whatever deity you prefer, think before you ask that question to a science major. They'll just tell you that Global Warming is a part of a massive world-wide climate change, and Pullman's horrible weather is just a small piece of that. Only, other science majors may give you the long-winded version that'll make you want to shove a pencil in your ear, but still.
Oh, and if anyone even DARES whining about the rainy weather in Seattle to me, I will kill them. It didn't snow there, you've no right to bitch.
Pictorial Rant: Done
Gooood Morning Pullman! And now for your weather....
If you want to prove that the weather of the world is f-ed up, look to Pullman this morning where it is currently SNOWING. Need I remind you that it is June 10th? At the very least, said snow isn't sticking [knocks on wood].
Now, I get to walk to work this morning so I need to pull out warm clothing, and damn it all! What are all the sirens about?!
Rawr...

Thank you Nori, for awsome Micro quotes...
"E. coli is kind of a beast."
Which it is. I honestly think its the hardiest bacteria we've used. It grows in almost ANY condition.
"Shigella flexneri causes Montezuma's Revenge type dysentery. If you're playing Oregon Trail and someone dies of dysentary... its probably Shigella! So, lets not splatter it around people."
Hearing a TA reference Oregon Trail in a 300 level science class made my day. Thank you so much Nori, you are the most kick ass TA ever.

The Sun Has Retreated!
It was summer...what happened?
To quote my roommate: "while it is going to be rainy and cold for the foreseeable future, at least it is neither a) snowing, or, b)incinerating us."
She has a very good point...but being stuck in limbo sucks, especially when the weather is determined by Murphy's Law: the one day you decide not to wear your raincoat, it pours.
Oh, and we can probably count on lots of wheat crop death over here in the Palouse thanks to fungi getting an opportunity to grow in the cold and damp, which won't help our economic dilemma one bit.
Thank you Pullman. And thank you human race for screwing up the planet.
Houston, I think we have a problem.
