Yesterday wasn't good, per se. But quality.
--Despite the fact that it's winter, it was perfectly sunny in the afternoon.
--My experiments from last week MAY have worked.
--Leftover chicken vindaloo from Cedar's for lunch.
--An undergraduate technician brought in a carrot cake "just because." Notice how most of these items for a "quality" day have to do with food? Should I be concerned here?
--I am "famous." I am mentioned in the acknowledgements section of a paper that appeared in a recent edition of The Journal of Bacteriology. Not a publication for me at all - but still, my name is now printed in a professional journal. A first step, I suppose. The paper is from the University of Iowa lab I interned at between my sophomore and junior years in college. The graduate student I worked with has published, and I'm one of a dozen people mentioned in that short section. Not a big deal to anyone - except me!
--I bought another bookshelf last night at IKEA. I'm tired of stacking books and CDs on the floor! Now, I just need someone to put it together for me.
Oh Zach, you're so noble. You can come clean my apartment if you like.

Posted by: Zach at February 10, 2004 02:10 PMSince I'm the proud owner of a bed, dresser, chair, and TV stand from IKEA, I know full well the ease of assemblage. But... laziness kicks in, now and then. I'd just much rather have it assembled and my room cleaned for me. :-)
Posted by: James at February 10, 2004 01:24 PMThat stuff from IKEA is easy to put together. I have two left thumbs and the most un-handy person you will ever meet, and I managed to assemble all of my furniture from IKEA without problem. I have faith in you brother!
Congrats on having your name! If you had a different name, chances are that you would not be cited in the journal. Rock on dude!
Talk to you sometime...
