Tonight's VS Arashi is against Former Japanese Soccer Representatives Team. The legendary representatives that have crossed over generations... The only one who can stop the rampage by Ramos Ruy-san is Take-chan? The plus one guest is Kojima Ruriko-san and Panther's Ogata-san. You definitely have to watch it!


I translated more of Kan-san's tweets previously here. See my other translation works here.

Sometimes...

You thought they've improved now. Till you argue with someone about what they said and realized they got the translation completely wrong. A simple sentence, with simple grammar, but the meaning was completely opposite. Not hard to tell from the context too...

And then you wonder just what has changed.

And then you think about how many people will end up learning the wrong thing, because they are learning the language while watching.

And then you shake your head and sigh, while they are probably celebrating in delight at how popular they are, how many replies they got.

*Sigh*

Friday! Hurrah!

Weekends are coming!

So far so good, I managed to watch everything from last week besides TSD... and then there's this weeks Sho NewsZero cuts, VSA, and the cut from TOKIO's concert. Ok. Still a lot of things to watch once you list it out! Lol! Gotta finish that trans by tmr too.... since i'm going out on Sunday! Hurrah! Meeting my sec school cca mates. My junior plus the other friend I just met last month. Yay! It's been such a long time! The three of us are just gonna talk all night! Ha!

Went for a couple of talks (ok just two) over the past few weeks... signed up for another next... tues, or wedn? I'm not as interested in that though, but it's by my institute... well just a little interested, but not that interested. See! That's the problem. All the stuff I'm interested in is NOT from the institute I'm in. Different areas of interest indeed lol.

Oh wells. After the bad day yesterday... today didn't end that badly. Well I had hoped it would end early... but ended up having to run a gel. At least I didn't have to stay too late though! And well... after sending the results over... she mailed back asking what concentrations of the gel I use etc, cos my ladder always separates out so nicely! Again! Last time she asked and then realized it was the exposure, so I thought the mystery was solved. But somehow it seems not? I don't know. But that was the second time she asked me what conditions I use! And it's ironic because the protocol was something I got from their group! Everything! Besides the gel running condition, but I only used the standard one you can find anywhere online. 110V for 25-30mins... cos at 25 mins the dye is still quite far from the end of the gel. Usually 30 mins if I have the time. then I'll just turn the power back on for a while before I take the gel out because I always leave it alone and come back later, so I don't take the gel out immediately and I'm kinda scared that it might have diffused out or something? Well then again we soak the gel in EtBr after that for even longer. No just... just... wait what? My gels are better? But.... how? Aren't you doning the same thing? It's pretty simple and pretty standard isn't it. Agarose gel electrophoresis. It's stuff I even learnt in sec school. Something even sec sch kids can do. Ain't no rocket science. Best of all I got the protocol from them... hmmm... that really amuses me though. Saw her when I queued up for the shuttle bus, she was ahead of me in a queue and she was checking her phone... and she smiled at me, a little wider than the usual 'hi' smile. And I smiled back even wider. I'd just replied to her mail before leaving the office after all, and I was still feeling so happy + amused. Ahhh. But yes, that kind of neutralised that epic failure I did yesterday. No seriously. She's really nice. She didn't like flip or anything when I asked her about the dilutions. Like really, such a big, stupid mistake. And there I was talking about other people's mistakes. Ahhhhh. Actually I did kinda suspected. But i hate unit conversions and stuff and didn't bother to stop and ask. Meh. I wasted so much of the reagent.

Another PhD student has started doing qpcr. Now I'm kinda interested in his results... because I was checking my past work done and recording stuff into my notebook yesterday, and realized that for one set of experiments I did, the DNA conc I used was different from what the instructions she mailed me. I absolutely can't remember if she gave any other verbal instructions otherwise... but if she didn't, it means that I made a big mistake and she didn't even tell me about it? And there was another instance too, when I added stuff onto the plate wrongly... well not too major though, just the standards were gone but thankfully she could use the standards obtained previously. Nah maybe she's just a nice person. Or I just do things well enough. Yet not well enough for myself... one mistake is always one mistake too many. Meh. When it comes to work, or stuff that I care about, I become quite the perfectionist...

(Then there's the stuff that I don't care about. Like the grammar, spelling and punctuation of ranting posts like this...)
