Everyone remain calm!!
Data! I have DATA!! Okay. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I had promised to post lovely pictures of my surroundings that make you happy about my life far far away on the right coast. And now, to the right of this text you see a lot of black smudges, some colored dots and a couple of black lines. Not the prettiest thing you've ever laid eyes on for sure. And certainly not the most recognizable.
But do not scoff! This, my people, is my first Far Western Blot. And while I do not show you the "control/GST alone" blot just beside this one, I assure you that right below the red dot where there are two lighter bands above a dark band, well that there lower light band is unique to GST-YlfA! (You don't have to know what's going on here... just go with it.. FEEL the enthusiasm.) See? Isn't that cool?!
Sorry... This is a little strange, I know, but this is, like, a really BIG DEAL. Especially since Craig, right before I finished the assay and got this result, tauntingly declared,
"Well, this is the first time you did this. You don't even know what the right conditions are. It's not like it's going to be INTERPRETABLE, anyway."
So there Craig. Foo on you. Unfortunately, despite my desparate urge to repeat and refine this experiment immediately if not sooner, I must put all my bugs and my pipets away and pack my bags for Austin. Repeats will have to wait. Ack! I can't stand it! All right... enough of this madness. Time to go home and bounce off the walls for a while.
