My hands are not pretty.
I bite the skin on my fingers enough so that they are always rough and scarred. There are scabs here and there from where I have ripped divots out of my flesh. I have calluses from years of kung fu. I currently have two blisters from playing drums, and one extra-special blood blister from pinching myself with pliers last night.
I have to be careful about how I touch someone or else what was intended as a gentle caress will be rough and irritating.
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the burlesque show tomorrow.
More later.

Too much stimulation. Oh yeah
Your work sounds interesting - I didn't realize people were doing much expression profiling on plants. Are you interested in nitrogen fixation? And are you guys using Affymetrix arrays, or spotted arrays? That technology is pretty cool, it seems like people are often coming up with creative applications of it.
My work is basically a whole animal approach to molecular biology - my lab has a mouse knockout of a gene called CRD-Neuregulin. My project is to figure out what are the effects of knocking out that gene at a particular synapse in the brain (the inferior olive to deep cerebellar nuclear synapse) where it's normally expressed, at a molecular level, an electrophysiological level and a whole-animal behavior level. So I get to do lots of different kinds of experiments, it's pretty fun. Are you in school?
