Update Music

No, I'm not dead, but there are a lot of real life things going on, keeping me from doing all the small dirty work on this layout.

On the other hand though, I've uploaded a new song I made, which is not all that grand; it's just a simple BGM, so don't expect any solos in that. Furthermore, you can actually read the fiction "Fenrir's Curse" again, as I have somehow managed to link to the other pages. Things are still not properly working though. Please bear with me. ^^"

New Layout

And a rather dark colored one too. I actually intended to have a bright pastel green color scheme for this layout, with blooming cherry images, but I was so obsessed with drawing my little mecha figure you can see to the right, that I decided to use him instead. And because pastel green unfortnuately didn't work with him (believe me, I'd do it, if it had fit!), I opted for olive green. Basically all the colors are the same as the original idea, only darker.

I had a lot of trouble separating the blog from this updates/main page which is why the site was down for an entire day ( I managed to twist the code that much that I needed to completely re-install Wordpres...yay me. >_>;) . Most of the stuff is working fine. I know there are bugs though, but I have no time anymore *need sleep* and I have a full day tomorrow. I probably will finish this up tomorrow night or so.

New layout. Literally

For sure, you'll all be going like "zomg, what happened?"
Well, I did state my displeasure with the previous layout as in where and how text appeared. So I tried doing it all over again, keeping the color theme and base image. And voil? , a forum style theme emerged. I hope it will be interesting for viewers.

And I added the first two chapters of "Kamikaze Nanaban", however, this fiction will remain in German for the sake of my laziness. I'm just too lazy to translate them into English, so I'll keep the language they're in. ^^"

Please remember, that I still do lack some leet grammar skills, so there might be quite some errors in German versions. Even though my English might not be THAT much better, but concerning grammar, I kinda find it easier to write in English. However if I have an idea and the story comes flowing out of my hand, I realize the "flow" is much stronger in German, because my vocabulary is stronger. @_@

Fenrir’s Curse + Short, short summary on my lab.

Update: A new Chapter on "Fenrir's Curse". Go to the Fiction Section to read. It is titled "The Journey Begins".

*sigh*
Sorry for the lack of writing. I have been very busy lately and rarely felt like using my fingers to type a lot.
The last two and a half weeks, I have been taking a methods lab at the university. It's quite stressy (10 a.m. until you're done for the day; usually around 6:30 p.m.), but the people in my lab are awesome guys. We are 7 people altogether. You may consider that much, but most of us have been used to labs with at least 12 participants.
So far, we've been having quite a lot of frustrating experiences concerning our experiments.
Sample:
We were supposed to do a PCR on our isolated DNA from fruitflies. Well, we did so, let the results run on an agarose gel and....nothing. Nada. No results. Our gel photograph looked like as if there was nothing ever there. We did this about three times (consider that running one gel takes about an hour, running a PCR takes about 1 1/2 hours). Today, we did it again and realized....somehow the PCR works somewhat on cDNA, but whenever it comes to our genomic DNA, nothing happened. When we put a piece of genomic DNA sample that had not been run through the PCR, we had results.
We're all like: wtf, what's happening here? O_o" Let's call Wiliam Shatner from Unsolved Mysteries or Scully and Mulder from the X-Files. O_o"
And if that was not yet enough frustrating stuff, we still have to do protein analysis. And there, we have a similar problem. Whenever we let our samples run through an SDS gel, we somehow get....nothing when we do our antibody staining of our Western Blot. HOWEVER, if we use the same antibodies on fly embryos we get...YES, we get results. Lovely, eh?
It's like, why am I standing 6 hours in the lab and it's all for nothing? D:

More rants when lab is done. Let me relax, watch anime, read manga and play RO

Update Layout

As you can see, there's a new layout. Nothing really grand, but at least different from the last one. I changed the navigation a bit, so I would be grateful for any comments concerning that.
