Three things you did today

[Insertnamehere]

1) I threw some 30 peptides for both RP-HPLC and ESI-MS analysis, ran a SDS-PAGE to localize the recombinant I purified yesterday and I wanted to start dialysing it, but apparently I have to do it against 4 decreasing concentrations of urea (starting with mu current 6 M, ugh) 2 hours each and the dialysis buffer itself is a bit tricky to prepare.

2) I still have food from my Saturday cooking batch (go fridge!) but I started today on lunch for thursday and friday at least. Got the rice prepared, cause it's pretty durable. The meat with onion/carrot/spices plus the spinach with cream will be done tomorrow.

3) I finished reading paper 5 (our of 9) on African history (I started with China, already done Russia, South East Asia, South Pacific, Japan & Korea, Latin America and South Asia), currently on the late African Middle Ages: Mali Empire on the Sahel area, the Swahili-ran trading cities of South East Africa, the last years of the Almohads in North Africa, Egypt is under Mamluk rule and Abyssinia is still isolated but thriving.
