Bad DAY

Magnus lied to Claus about not coming. He came in like a tornado on Bobby's helicopter. I like Bobby. He and mister colding seem to be good friends. Andy the A-double-hole acted like he ran the lab, which irritated everyone, me included. I wish Andy had just stayed in his play room and left us alone. He actually did after Magnus gave him a present: a Playstation 3.

But it only got worse for me. Magnus hovered over me for at least an hour. He doesn't understand a word I say, due to my accent and the fact that he knows absolutely nothing about genetics. At one point he had his giant hands on the back of my chair while Claus was explaining why we... why we have only reached the point we are at in our work, and he pulls up on the back of my chair so hard I came up off the ground! I looked up at him, was going to tell him to stop, but his eyes scared me so. I ran out of the lab and came to my room. I cried until mister colding stopped in and told me Magnus had left. He brought me a doctor pepper too. He is so nice to me.

Heroes! (and relief)

Again I get to see my favorite show Heroes tonight. Hiro is in trouble... his Dad showed up at the end of last week's episode, and he doesn't seem to be very happy with Hiro's mission. (sort of like my Dad... he disowned me when I came to America).

I didn't think I was going to get to see Heroes at all, with Magnus coming. But he has canceled his trip I guess. rhumkorff told me not to worry about it. I smile now.

Bye now. siler (silar) has escaped! I must go watch.

Super Bowl

They are playing the super football bowl tonight. I like the one that throws the ball for the white shirted team.

I see it is raining very hard. They keep talking about the football being slick and slippery. They make footballs out of cow hide, right? I told mr. colding I think I can genetically engineer a cow that would produce tackier leather. He just laughed. I like it when he laughs. He laughs with me, not at me.

Magnus is supposed to visit next week, to tour our facility. He is the only man that scares me more than Claus. He is so huge. He played football, but not in the American league that has the super bowl.

At least tonight we have the football game. I'll worry about Magnus later.

Chess...

I've played chess ever since I was a child, maybe 4 year old? It is a puzzle for me, just like genetic code. I was something of a prodigy. I even met Anatoly Karpov in 1975. He was a guest at our government run school. I was 17, and had a rating nearing 2000. He watched me play a game against a future woman grand master, kanny qin. He saw me sacrifice my queen in order to gain tempo and tactical advantage. Even though the game ended in a draw, mister karpov looked at me and said in perfect mandarin... 'well played.' I can tell you, my toes were tingling on that day!

That was one of the best days of my life, yes. I was so young. And much lighter. ha ha
Andy called me urlacker the other day. I thought he meant I 'lacked' something at first, but then mister colding told him to shut up and leave. I think urlacker is a football player. I am big, but I am not an urlacker. Andy is an... I can't write that word here.

mister colding says this sunday is the super football bowl. I get to see the urlacker, and the one that throws the football I like. I like the commercial where he says 'arm like rocket.' ha ha

Day, Night... they mean nothing

I know twenty-four hours makes up a day. But it really doesn't mean anything to me. My body does not regulate itself by the rotations of the Earth. My job is the most important thing in my life. Our work at... where I work... will save hundreds of thousands of lives one day. Twenty hour shifts are my normal day. Then let me spend a few more hours on my computer in my room. I am happy with this life.

Besides, I don't like my dreams so much. Mister Colding, my only real friend... he says my dreams are because I drink too much Dr. Pepper. You try working 20 hour shifts without soda.

Heroes

I love this show. I think Hiro Nakamura is very handsome. I hope he finds his sword soon, so he can save New York! Ha ha.

The science is all sah gwa... silly, of course. As if you could use the human genome project to map specific genes and track people from around the world. You should hear Claudette (she is one of my co-workers... I hate her). She just sits in the corner when we watch Heroes, grunting whenever they say "Are you on the list?"

It is so funny.

Toes

Do you ever feel something before your brain can process it? I saw this news story on tv the other day, Gunther was watching some sports channel. It was about a football player... one of the ones that throws the ball. He had a horseshoe on his hat. He talked about the hairs on his arm standing on end when he sees the players on the other team get ready for the play. His body knows when he's going to have a big score!

I don't like sports much, but I get that. Why? Because my toes start tingling when I'm figuring something out.
