Meme from [livejournal.com profile] trollprincess and [livejournal.com profile] taraljc:

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

Indulge me. I just spent 10 hours straight editing my documentary, fueled only by peanut butter crackers and a thunderstorm. I can't tell if I have a crush on Final Cut Pro or Stockholm Syndrome. The doc turned out well, but I'm too tense-tired to fall asleep. I remember the last time I was this tired: I started making fun of myself for not going to bed, only to stop halfway through and go, "Wait, what?"

Heh, oops, I suck at email this week.

The doc was about epigenetics, which is the study of genetic control and phenotypic expression - in layman's terms, it's about the different methods of controlling how DNA is expressed in different cells. For instance, a nerve cell and a muscle cell have the exact same genetic code - all the same base pairs in the same sequence - but they do completely different things. How? That's epigenetics.

I will attempt to post about Miss Parker tomorrow.
