Friday Five

Well I've had quite a bit of time on my hands this week and what does one do with all that time?  If you're not a nerd like me you go out and party.  If you are in fact me, you read, read and read.

1. "Shakespeare and Martin Luther King Demonstrate Potential of DNA Storage":  I've read this article 3 times now and I still don't completely understand what they are saying.  I can't begin to pretend that  I'm well read in matters pertaining to DNA replication, but I must admit it's an awesome idea.

2. "John Harbaugh Pranks Family on Conference Call": I LOVE this family!  They are too cute with their J names and totally adoration for the game of football.  Any other family may have issues with such a big rivalry in their hands, but I'm not worried about these guys one bit.  It's safe to say that Jim will be perfectly fine when John's team beats his...

Happy Haggis-free Burns Night!

3. "The Poetry of Robert Burns": After all if I was going to celebrate Burns Night this evening, I really should see what he had to say.  Although, I beg to differ on the writing of Auld Lang Syne.  I had heard that while everyone believes he wrote this old favorite, it was actually written after he died...Though, don't quote me on that.

4. "Don't Forget to Sign up For World Book Night": I'm kind of in love with this idea.  I'm not entirely sure it's something I'd consider participating in mostly because I'm just a little leery of approaching strangers and handing them a book I like.  I know how I'd react if someone did that to me.  I'd be fairly skeptical that it was a trick of some kind.  But if others are participating, more power to them! 

5. "The Insider's Guide to Notting Hill": As  a future Londoner, who'll be living in this quite posh neighborhood, I'll most definitely need to know these things : )
