“[friend] has found a solution to the cupcake problem.”
my brain: The final solution? WAIT, YOU CAN’T SAY THAT IN PUBLIC.
Written In DNA
I mean that quite literally. Harvard nanosculptors have developed a technique to stack “bricks” of DNA (essentially small sequence blocks) into defined shapes. By altering which DNA tiles go into a mix, different complex forms can be assembled, including these letters, numbers and characters!

Ahahaha
The Associated Press delegate count shows that Romney surpassed the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination during Tuesday’s primary. Early returns show Romney posting a big win in Texas.
It’s a triumph of endurance for a candidate who came up short four years ago and had to fight hard this year as voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals.
In other news, water is still wet. We spent like a year freaking out over this, and it’s the result everyone expected. Remember that.

Artist Tom Whalen created these elaborate screenprints in a number of varying colour schemes to help celebrate the re-release of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine. They go on sale tomorrow, Tuesday May 29th.
I really reflect on myself a lot. And it’s often not very good things.
Don’t get me wrong, I like myself at this point, but when I think of the past… four to five years, I just get annoyed with myself because I was so stupid about relationships. It took me nearly four years to realize that I was completely incompatible with someone that I probably shouldn’t have even liked in the first place and that the right person had been there all along (as cheesy and cliche as that is).
I suck.
But I guess that’s just part of life, doing stupid things and hopefully being able to recognize when you’re about to do them again and prevent it.
For the moment it’s all worked out wonderfully, and I dearly hope that it stays that way because it would be terribly soul crushing if something went wrong.
I think I’m built to be part of an old married couple—just settled down with one person for a long time. I don’t need a lot of other social interaction, quite honestly; I enjoy it, but I don’t tend to actively seek it out. I guess that seems foreign or boring to some people, but that’s just how I am.
The Walrus is the only non-extinct member of the Odobenidae family. However menacing their meter-long tusks look, they are mainly used for picking holes in the ice for diving and climbing out of the water.
Much too slow to catch fish and normally unwilling to attack seals, the Walrus is an opportunist, choosing instead to eat a wide variety of marine invertebrates on the ocean floor. They possess a uniquely vaulted palate as well as powerful lip muscles, allowing them to wrap their mouths around clams and suck them directly from their shells with a quick flick of their tongue.
The baby!
