You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

(Help me...)
I broke apart my insides
(Help me...)
I've got no soul to sell
(Help me...)
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself,

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

(Help me...)
You tear down my reason
(Help me...)
It's your sex I can smell
(Help me...)
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey, inside your hive...
You are the reason I stay alive...
- Nine Inch Nails, "Closer"

(Post title is where I took these photos. I had my camera bare inches away from the mating dragonflies. Something that I think is really cool about animals is that they're so intensely into whatever they're doing.)

Nine Inch Nails was about the only thing that Steve and EK both agreed on when I was dating EK and Steve was chasing me...

Cute DNA ladder picture

Just arrived in lab at 10:49am and nobody else is here...wow. At least I don't feel like a twit for oversleeping today.

Got a flyer for some company selling ladders for electrophoresis and was about to throw it away, then I noticed this:

ROTFLOL that is cute.

(Quick explanation of DNA electrophoresis for non-biologists: you take a flat slab of agarose - aka purified agar-agar - with a row of holes along one end. You put DNA in the holes. You run an electrical current through the agar. Since DNA has a negative charge (it's deoxyribonucleic ACID mah), it goes toward the positive side. Since small bits can move faster than big bits (except in the anime universe, where giant mecha robots are the fastest known objects), you get a column of bits of DNA in order of size. A "ladder" is basically a mixture of DNA bits of known size that you run alongside your sample so you can tell what size your bits are (that sounded vaguely dirty...).)
