Today was proof of the fickle finger of fate. I have an aberration, a single compound which could destroy a year or more of work. A compound which makes no sense inside an entire class of compounds. The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get.
Last night I went to see "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and I thought it was quite wonderful. The martial arts sequences were like finest ballet, and I won't give away the ending, but it was sad. We went to Garema Place for drinks and then I came home.
Naturally I worked both days, which sucks because it seems like there is never any break in the monotony and occasional despairing moment. I passed on brunch this morning and went to the lab instead (to have disappointment bitch-slap me once again) and then about 2:30 pm I caught up with Peta (G) and had a relaxing time talking to her. I have become rather unpleasantly aware of my poor state of fitness and so spent time at the gym this afternoon.
Oh goddess, won't somebody take me away from all this?
