The most deadly time-waster EVARRR

I'm sure many internet savvy folks have already run across this. I used to get my ahead-of-the-trend info from CS majors, but now I'm entrenched with fellow biology geeks, and we're no slouches but we don't know the internet quite so well.

Started watching "24" with Andy and Sarah. . . looks very promising, and fortunately since the season we're watching has to do with viruses--which I admittedly don't know as much about compared to bacteria--It can be more plausible for the microbiologist in me. This series seems to have the proper geekly sheen to keep me interested.

And lo, Friday has arrived. I don't know what I'm going to get up to, but I do know the Saturday I'm signed up to collect squid--we're down to only a few egg-laying females and only one clutch is in the range to hatch that day, so it looks like I'll get up early on a Saturday only to get NO ANIMALS. But if I didn't show up, then they'd all hatch and I'd be SUPER BUMMED. In the immortal words of Dave K.: piss, piss, piss.

It's summer, and the want-to-be-active-outside bug has struck. I'm tossing around the idea of going to free in-line skate lessons on Monday (sponsored by Mad City Rollers). I always enjoyed roller skating, and my favorite video games ("Skitchin" on the Sega Genesis, and Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future) have involved in-line skating. However I don't think they'll let me hitch a ride on the back of a car, or utilize magnetic rollerblades to skate up towers and such. Still, I'm finally living somewhere that has bike paths and sidewalks a-plenty, and my main reason for not walking into work is that it takes 40 minutes and the bus takes 20 . . . could skating offer the solution? We'll see. Hopefully I won't break much.
