Work on my thesis is going pretty well. I have submitted 3 plates to the sequencing facility since Friday and I have four more plates to submit. I will be meeting with the stats guy later this week so I can start analyzing some of the my data. And I this past weekend I finished half of my background and started formating my thesis for initial submission in the next few weeks. So tonight I will be taking a little break from writing (but organizing the papers I want to use in my background section). And I am making a semi-fancy dinner (meaning making a dinner that will take 30 minutes to make) of fettucini alfredo with chicken and broccoli. Monday is now my favorite day because my two favorite podcasts This American Life (source of the title, from a sad/funny episode about a man trying to help his alcoholic mother and troubled half-brother) and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me get updated on Sunday night so I listen to them Monday. Today I donated some money to WBEZ Chicago (which produces This American Life) to help pay for the free podcasts for all. Bring on my "merch". (Which is a poster from the summer tour last year.)
CONNIE: Maybe your dad is one of those rich misers. A lot of rich people are crazy. They hang onto every penny. Howard Hughes wore Kleenex boxes on his feet, and he wrote an instruction manual on the exact way his staff should serve him a peach.
