gloomy grey weather sucks. i suspect i’m one of the millions of americans who suffer from seasonal affective disorder, since my moods swing like a pendulum clock during the winter.
my day: got up, ate eggos, read the paper. turns out that humans only have about 3,000 genes rather than the expected 10,000+. the human genome project guys, who were expected to lay out a map of humanity at a press conference tomorrow morning, are stumped as to why we’re so darn complex since we only have twice as many genes as a fruit fly. i say score one for nature. apparently the scientists working on this project have a ‘gene pool’ – whoever guesses the correct number of genes in the human dna wins $200. haha.

my roommate, the cleaning nazi, is vacuuming the bookshelves. i have to leave.
