Song of April 2009

AUGCCTTACGTTCCCGCCTTAATTGCCTGGTCTGGAAATGTACTGTGCCCAATTGGGGGCTGAATGCTGAAGCCTTT is the gene that codes for the protein which makes me dislike long random sequences. You would think that ACTC codes for the gene that makes you love the song Thunderstruck. But apparently it's a part of the gene that codes for the protein that makes me go "Aaah" when I burn myself. I haven't been able to map the gene that codes for the protein which makes me feel undecided about this month's song. But I'm aware that my song choices so far have been alternative and mostly oldies. I therefore thought of Pendulum's new hit Propane Nightmares, a drum and bass song that's probably their best song so far (not that I've heard all their songs). But then I thought I should continue the alternative theme I've chosen. A few years back I discovered my parents LP collection and I found ABBA, Mozart, Bach, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, many more and my father's favourite band Genesis. The LP album I found was A Trick of the Tail which now is my favourite Genesis album. From that album my favourite song is Ripples (OPEN in Spotify) so I guess that is the song of April. Back to genes, cells, embryos and cookies.

Wednesday Afternoon

Initiator proteins. Helicase. Some protein keeping DNA strands apart. DNA polymerase. Oh, end of lesson. Not raining anymore. Took the bus here so have to take the bus home as well. Wow, that's a lot of people waiting for the bus. Poor girl, that laughter is a turn off. Have a lot of embryology to read when I get home. Embryology. Wonder how many points that is in scrabble. Why do I care I haven't played scrabble for ages. Finally, the bus arrives. Got to look cool while pressing the bus card against the stupid reader. Come on read the stupid card! No place to sit. Just got to stand up for 20 minutes. Wow, the chauffeur is really stressed now. Impressive taking that turn at that speed. Maybe his reckless driving will cause a crash and I have to save them all with basic life support. Cool. With loads of Hollywood-like explosions and people crying. Dammit, that was my stop. Have to walk a bit then. Hmm, what should I have for dinner. Chicken with rice, chicken with pasta or chicken with bread. No wait, I have fish as well. Chicken with fish, that's it.
