ouch! charlie bit me...

i woke up this morning on my futon, with my pillow under my head, and a blanket covering me. what's interesting is that i definitely went to sleep on my bed, with my pillow under my head, under my covers. apparently i can now sleepwalk with my pillow.

assignment 3 is due tomorrow, so cindy and emily met this morning to begin some of the construction of our pseudo-robot. when i met up with them for lunch at cosi they had built the gear box and the motor mounts, which looked very good. i would've much rather done that than finish up two western blots at work. (by the way, 1 out of 2 worked! 50% success rate...heck yea!)

cindy went back to lab for a few hours and soldered some more of our sensors, and then tag-teamed emily and me before she ran off to watch the celtics beat the trailblazers. emily and i fiddled with the gear boxes some more in the course 6 lab, and petek came to visit! petek, by the way, gives amazing lower back massages. :) then emily and i camped out on the floor of my room to finish construction of the robot. note to self: remember how to brace the motor mounts to beams, or forget the motor mounts and stick tape on the motors.

emily programming, and the lovely state of my floor

after a full day of work, we got our robot built, our legos braced, and our code running. throw in monday's episode of american gladiators, an entire plate of dropped noodles, and cheese dip and crackers, and i'd call it a successful day. :D

p.s. did you know that british babies speak in british accents? :P
