26/04: Busy week ahead; tmrw doing a final behavioural test on my mice (all
33 of them), followed by a practice talk for wednesday to the dept; tuesday
devoted to killing them meeces and gourging their brains out; wed giving the
talk; rest of the week recovering from the hectic start by starting some
bench work; friday kick starting the tests for the next batch of 36 mice.
Wondering if I
should make the effort to visit Yarra Yering during the weekend which they
open, if I even bother to call up to find out when they want to open... Prob
watch Kill Bill Vol 2 sometime.. perhaps even that Jim Carrey show - the one
with the long title..
20/04: Picture of hippocampal dissection
from
Defining a Molecular Atlas of the Hippocampus Using DNA Microarrays and
High-Throughput In Situ Hybridization J. Neurosci. Lein et al.

Supplemental Figure 1. Dissection of
hippocampal subregions. Areas CA1, CA3, and the DG were isolated from one
another as shown in A-F. The hippocampus (B, C, arrows) is clearly visible
once the overlying neocortex is peeled back (B), and it can be removed as an
intact structure (C). The boundaries of the DG can be seen in the dissected
hippocampus (D, E, arrows), allowing the isolation of CA1 (E) and CA3 (F).
Rostral is to the left in A-F. G-I, Coronal views of the hippocampus at
three planes of section along the rostrocaudal axis in cresyl violet-stained
cryostat sections. Dashed lines in G indicate approximate regions dissected.

virtual rabbit grabs the carrot!
Or how about
a chicken for a slave?! Ask
it to do stuff like "Do pushups"
03-04/04: Spent the weekend up in Sydney with Barry. For good wine and food

16/03: Having stayed in the new apt for a couple of nights now.. I must say
that I'm getting irritated to be woken up at exactly 7.10am the past few
mornings to the sound of 14-wheelers bringing in the pre-fabs to a
construction site that is obviously nearby but not near enough for me to
take note of.
3/3: My new address for presents and cash gifts: 24/17-21 Blackwood St,
North Melbourne, VIC 3051
29/2: It's the leap day.. and I celebrated it by running in the Arthur
Allens Corporate Cup which is a triathalon held at Elwood (between St
Kilda's and Brighton). So I was up and out by 0530; race was supposed to
start at 0700, but the weather wasn't the best this morning.. the waves were
all jumpy.. but despite the cold sea winds, the water was a nice warm 21
degrees. Me and my colleagues participated in the Sprint Distance, so this
is a 400m swim, 10km bike ride and a 4km run. I think most finished under 1
hour or there abouts. My calfs are all pulled stiff right now.. have put up
the photos already.
03-04 Break: Went back
to Singapore a couple of days before christmas before heading out to Bangkok
with the family. Didn't bring any clothes back this time with the intention
of getting new ones in Bangkok, but disappointed to find that the T-shirts I
wanted like those copy stussy, quiksilver and billabong didn't come in XL
size.. ended up with a McClaren-Benz polo, Sweden jersey, but a couple of
good short-sleeves from this shop where we bought 10+ pieces.. each for
under $10.. got a Frank Mueller watch too, but the dials don't work real
well, and it stops if I don't pick it up to shake it a little after I take
it off.. Good to meet with old friends again, Moses, Doodle, GP, Poh and LW..
we're really getting old.. we seem to be talking about sec sch days over and
over again.. and deriving much fun from it.. then suddenly we veer into life
discussions.. Did a bit of landscaping in time for Chinese New Year.. quite
satisfied with my work and the outcome.. couldn't solve the problem of soil
wash-off during the heavy rains.. got rid of a tank of medium sized louhans..
and shifted the fish about.. that area looks neater.. the rabbit is just as
fat and spoilt.. hope it doesn't die this year cos i didn't take a photo
with it this time.. bought plenty of plants with mum from the nursery..
brightened up the garden alot I think.. CNY was really great after missing
last years'. Meeting up with the cousins is always good fun.. and seeing the
nephews and nieces grow up.. didn't count ang-pao money this year.. oh
well.. Irritated and sianz that my flight was on sunday morning (day 4)
out.. cos it's quite sad to leave so soon into new year.. but oh well.. at
least something to look forward to for next year... hope this monkey
year is good for me.
12/11:
Wouldn't it be practical to practice culling on the human race? You'd
control population numbers, reduce the strain on limited resources, and we'd
be rid of the dumb people whose gene pool we could do without..
USA Fact#1: In Oregon, you are not allowed to pump your own petrol at the
gas station. A pump attendant must do it for you.
