payback

the fishies are getting their payback. i massacred them last week, now they're trying to give me a heart attack. it's another exciting day at the lab for jona. . .

anyway, so i was microinjecting fishies again. my last microinjection, incidentally, was a success. which is weird since the last time i did it, stuff were just spewing out of the needle and the fishies were covered with it. but the beads got to the right place and all that so it's actually good. so back to today, i was microinjecting again (duh) and the air tube of the rig burst. it sounded just like a gunshot and it almost blew out my eardrum. in fact my left ear is still ringing. good thing i didn't scream or anything because that would have been embarassing (and hysterical). since i couldn't hear, i was denying the fact that the sound came from my apparatus (stupid). now i'm still feeling shaky and my heart is still beating fast and i'm jumping at every sign of movement. i almost screamed when someone opened the door. . . must calm down. . .
