My life while the world spins madly on...

Thoughts arising while working as a scientist or just randomly spinning from my brain.

I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all

Allergy #ENCODE - big science please help

This time of the year my allergy is really wearing me down. Damn the f... trees. ;-) Can't the ENCODE people invent some cure real fast?!

...

Oh, hmmm, I forgot, they can't - no hay-fever for HeLa cells. Stupid, stupid me...

black gold

no way to get back to work after Mittagessen without a proper cup of Espresso.

It is Espresso, even though it says Cappuccino. Odd enough, write Espresso on the iPad, select and 'Suggest' and it suggests Expresso. Is that the spelling for the flavourless brew they offer in the US?

no time

From today I am officially existing/living in no-time. As I never appear to have some, I think I might as well make the transition.

I think I can actually pinpoint the moment I get lost, just when Kramnik says "Queen d4".

IBRA

himovic... the man himself. :D

...


Ah, come on Wolfgang, this penalty was so forged. Well, now Ibrahimovic is going to do 4 in Camp Nou. ;-)


....

Not that I like PSG and the Middle Eastern money thing, I just like personalities like Ibrahimovic. Not that he is even a likable character, but at least not streamlined as all the German players nowadays.

ARGO f.. yourself

wouldn't actually have thought Ben Affleck capable of something like this. Hmmm, then again he was involved in making Dogma, wasn't he. Not that his character (although the lead) is played fantastic or something, but the film as a whole is really really good. So he has to be credited for that.
