Christmas at the Laboratory!

Sorry for the long delay since last entry. Halloween, visits
from relatives, a trip to Asia for the Diabolical Mistress, and leadership training at the 9 to 5. (Little do they realize it's just helping me prepare for world domination!)

Christmas is around the corner and the lights have gone up. Trying to talk the Mistress into nuclear green lights didn't go well. "Let's make our home glow as if we were conducting radioactive experiments! The green could pulse slowly, brighter and dimmer, back and forth!

Wouldn't that be fun for Christmas!"

Instead we put up white plastic lighted snowflakes and a lighted net only designed to catch a hedge or bush. We wired them to the outside portal (porch) lights to make it more convenient to power them on or off. Something I came up with last year and am rather proud of. Of course, what would playing with lights be without the occasional shock. Shortly followed by "How do I get you to the car when your unconscious?" coming from the Mistress of witty comments herself.

The biggest news (and what is taking more time out of my day) is that the D. M. and I have taken up a new project. We decided to do an experiment in monster making. Oh, it's easy to clone a single living being. The world is quickly filling with sheep, mice, cattle, etc. that are exact duplicates of the originals. We going one step further. We're combining genetic material from cells from my body with genetic material from cells from my Mistress's body. We decided to use ours because we already have a dog and three cats. We don't need any more cats or dogs. (However, a cat/dog did cross our minds. The cartoon has already come out, though. Therefore not really an original idea.) This monster has already begun to form and is in it's incubation stage. Consultation with experts in this field and our computers project the finished date to be in July of 2008. Looking forward to it and will keep you updated as things develop.
