   Date me, baby, one more time
Watching: Top of the Forbidden City

The subject refers to a book Becky lent me. It's a sarcastic paranormal romance like Dark Hunter but much more out there. It's about the Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth (which has morphed into an espresso machine) and the guy whose supposed to kill her but would rather sleep w/ her (too bad his life depends on her death).

Anyway, I'm just fine and dandy here. I'm still enjoying lab. Lately, I've been helping Sonia w/ the biochemistry stuff (extracting DNA, cloning DNA into bacterial cells, and growing cultures). There's a new girl named Mallory who has taken over the nanotube project. That means I don't have another thing to occupy my time when I'm waiting around, but it's good since my flies are producing offspring. I'm starting to talk to the lab people more too. ^_^ We're a weird bunch, but what can you expect from people who work w/ fruit flies?

Dinner w/ Becky has also been going well. We've been slacking, and not much actual cooking has been done. Becky's been hooked on Kingdom Hearts 2, and I think I'm going to turn her into a FFF (Final Fantasy freak) soon. I may also turn her into a Taiwanese drama fanatic. She said she was interested in watching w/ me so we're gonna start Magicians of Love once I'm done w/ TOTFC.

I found an interesting fact today. Recently there was big news about how the new Batwoman is a lesbian. Well, it shouldn't be too surprising that they have homosexual characters in comic books. There's Mystique, who had a relationship w/ Destiny, and an X-man named Northstar. I guess this is the 1st time there has been a lesbian heroine (Mystique was bi) w/ her own series. I love how comics, especially X-men, portray individuals of different cultural backgrounds and lifestyles.

Quote of the day:
"Today Derek LaValle was going to reverse the Curse, even if it meant saving the life of his blight-on-the-family-name cousin, Les Lavalle.
"Well, okay, most of the family would claim Les was blight number two. Derek was blight number one. Except when they wanted money from him. Then Derek was blight number one with an asterik." - 1st few sentences of Date Me, Baby, One More Time by Stephanie Rowe
