Yesterday Sam Rhine came to give the Genetic Update confrence, so I skipped out on school and did that instead. Six hours of biology = yay.

The speach as somewhat similar to last years presentation - actually the last half hour or so was just a re-tread on last year's speach with some info on what the hell was going on in South Korea the last few weeks.

Anyway, somewhere the along the day, we got the "Complete Idiot's guide to HIV and AIDS" talk. (And yes, he did give "for god's sake, use a condom!" speach too.) And as near as I can figure, HIV is one of those things that make's you argue against intellegent design, because the only reason why HIV makes you sick is because the receptors on the virus just happens to fit snug to the receptors on white blood cells.

And if I ever need to have a mad scientist who is a biologist, I know excatly what their working on. *nods*

I also read Memiors of a Genisha yesterday, and it... well, it mostly sucked. I'm not sure why, but I think it's the romance. And the vauge hollowness of the gensia, since to be sucessful they had to be someone's mistriss. Yeah, I didn't like the book.

But what I did end up liking was The Book of Daniel. But when they weer talking about the missing money, I couldn't help thinking "I didn't embezzle the money, it was just resting in my account before I moved it along!"

But it did interfer with watching NUMB3ERS - I hope The Book of Daniel is going to be shown in the first time slot since it had a two hour debut.

You watched it too?

I rather liked it. I think it's safe to say it's very good dramedy. It almsot makes me want to convert to some sort of christian religion.... ok, maybe now but how about adopting Jesus into Buddhism?

I'd have to say one of my favorite parts was when they where sitting around the dinner table and the kids where hinting to the Bishop that the other kid was gay XD He completely missed ti and I jsut thought that was so funny. Also, most anytime he talked to Jesus was pretty good too, whether it was a comedy or drama moment.

NUMB3RS is still on? I though you figured that show would have been canned by now? They'll probably air it in the time they had the most viewings. I'd really like to here what's going to happen to the show because I havn't heqard a thing, then again I've been asleep all day, just woke up, and it's Saturday....

I'm almost positive that Jesus can be a bodhistiva. Or however you spell it.

My favorite Jesus momment when the couple told Daniel that because of him, they aren't getting married. Jesus gives him a "Way to go there" look.

I rather liked the book when I read it in high school. Then again, I'm very interested in Japanese culture.

Memiors of a Genshia could be set in the US and I would still dislike it. At a ceriten point, Denied Love took over the plot, and the story just got tiresome. I just don't like book romances.
