Procrastination

Finally, managed to get some stuff going in lab. It's a sideline project that appears to have more promise than my main topic, but hey, what ever works, works! Kinda sick of looking at the same thing from different angles... so decided to take a stroll and play around with other stuff while waiting for inspiration, or more enlightening results to come out from the main project. Procrastination in a weird way... It's pretty interesting, I have totally no idea on nuclear receptors, so, reading up at the same time. And in case my boss is reading this... yes... I'm still working/whacking at the main project... *waves real time PCR data and shRNA vectors cloning stuff at boss for distraction*...

Ah yes, talk about waving stuff... (if you can get the joke, you're a kindred spirit!!) For a real dose of procrastination and peer suppport, check out phdcomics.com. Comic strips, a blog by a comic strip character that's so real and a forum. Badger badger badger!!!

gecko-on-wall

Greetings and welcome to the gecko_on_wall blog. This is my first blog, so, be kind and reserve your judgement for somewhere else. Random events, thoughts etc would be put up. Won't promise to update frequently.. probably would only do so when I'm bored, stressed, happy etc... in other words, when I feel some emotion...

Anyway, for starters... why am I blogging??? For one thing, I was 'challenged' to put one up. Okay. So, here it is. Another, to keep in touch with friends scattered all over the place. Well, blogging also probably serves as a sort of journal. Or a place to vent since I'm not so fond of saying things out loud. Not that I talk to myself, or have conversations in my head... but more that I prefer to hold my tongue and watch things from the sidelines... hence, gecko on wall... (should be gecko on the wall, but I'm only allowed a maximum of 20 characters...) On the other hand, I like writing.... and I can express myself more naturally by doing so.

Writing gives you time to think and organize your thoughts before putting them down. Even after doing so, you can still re-write and edit until you are happy with it. However with speech, once it leaves your lips.... fate is sealed. No turning back, no re-capturing of words, no chance. Well, I wish you happy reading of my blog... if you feel at any point like raising an eyebrow at my randomness.. go ahead and do it if it makes you feel better... Have a good weekend ahead...
