Sighs...

Been raining for two days and still raining. I caught a cold and felt sleepy and lethargic. Ligation didn't work. The thought of repeating PCR, enzyme digest, bacterial culture seems to worsen the already burning frustration. Eric said if everything works so easily, science would be taking giant leaps forward everyday. I only have a month left though. There're definitely things which are bound to fail even if you try hard. I'd wish for a bit of luck then.

Aoi Teshima's voice is very soothing. Miyazaki attended the 'Gedo Senki'staff preview and left halfway. Everyone was uneasy about his reaction since he's been on nonspeaking terms with the director, his own son Goro Miyazaki since day one of the project. However during the evening celebration, someone delivered a note to Goro from his dad. 'The film making is honest and good.' (exact quote from the translations provided on Nausicca.net) The hall was silent, until one member started clapping, then thunderous applause filled the room. It must have been a heart warming moment. I'm nobody but I wish Goro great success for his debut film. Gumbate ne! In an interview with John Lassetter, the vice chair of Pixar, he expressed his gratitude again on how Miyazaki's been a great inspiration. 'He celebrates the quiet moments, which's very rare in this fast paced animation business.' Celebrating the quiet moments... not particularly Miyazaki though...
