Ugh, data analysis.

I have values for 10 different proteins across 12 datasets. The value for each dataset consists of 3-6 replicate analyses, meaning there's a mean + std dev at each point. Each protein in each dataset has values for picomoles, micrograms, counts and intensity.

So that's 4 different values for each data point (counts-picomoles, intensity-picomoles, counts-micrograms, intensity-micrograms), and 120 datapoints, each having a mean and standard deviation. I'm wanting to do pairwise comparisons between each of the data points.

So that's 4*(120 + 119 + 118... etc) comparisons. I think excel isn't going to like me much, or I need to change how I'm looking at this.



Anyway, that's a long way of saying I'm glad it's Friday and I get to go home soon...

A good pattern is one that isn't immediately noticeable--your first impressions are always of colors and lines. Those two things need to be properly structured in a pattern so that a pattern receives a pleasant gut reaction.

What the pattern actually is is secondary to that. It still needs to be visually stimulating after the fact, but a lot is held in the lines/color of it.

The problem with floral prints is that massive flowers don't have pleasant lines, and the colors are generally... unpleasant on clothing (especially if you mix different flowers). And they need to be paired with the proper background and can't be too bright. But they can be done well. For example, a white dress with sunflowers (complete with stalks). I'm not in love with the flower on the belt, and it would be hard for a white girl to pull this off, but it's not bad. It works because nothing's obnoxiously bright, and the white background helps keep the colors from getting too aggressive.

(I just googled floral print, lol).

I have lots of floral clothes.

Well, one floral print silk skirt, and a dress that looks like it's floral until you see that it has little skulls on it.



Also, I just talked to a German guy on Skype in English, and his English is actually nearly flawless. \o/

For the most part, the only floral prints I have are on Hawaiian shirts. I still have a few of those from my high school days when we had Hawaiian day during spirit week. I do have a hippie shirt that has floral prints on it, but it isn't obnoxious. The shirt itself is white, and the print has really thin lines so it's pretty subtle.

Also, I know I'm a tom boy when my metro boyfriend knows more about fashion than I do. Of course I grew up an only child raised mostly by my dad, and he was raised in a family with six sisters, so that does make quite a bit of a difference. I just learned about the awesomeness that is proper eyeshadow blending in the make up class I took last term, so yeah... Despite my long hair and feminine features, I'm really not that feminine lol.

Last year he and I were shopping for an outfit for me for the fetish ball that was coming up, and we had found a skirt and shirt that matched pretty well. We were looking for some knee high tights to go with it. We were in Hot Topic and I asked one of the sales clerks to help me find something after I showed her the clothes I had so far. She pointed out some glossy tights, and J piped out that that wouldn't work because with the black and dark gray checkered theme I already had going on, I needed tights that were matte as well. Anything shiny would just look tacky. The clerk looked at him, then looked at me and grinned and I replied and said "I'm so lucky to have a man that knows more about fashion than I do!" and she agreed with me, lol.

I blame Brisin for bringing WoW into the thread. >:(

Yeah one of mine is pretty obnoxious. The other two aren't too bad though. I don't really remember exactly what they look like though, as they've been packed away for years. =x

Tourist couples in loud matching Aloha shirts is HILARIOUS.

Me, too. Well, in 2½ weeks, anyway.

That'd be cool. I just don't think I have it in me to read over all 120ish pages of stuff and take notes. On the other hand I know of two people who are in finals week and should have some upcoming free time.

My last exam is on the 24th of June, and after that I'll probably do some random research stuff; I might still have time in July, but I seriously doubt it.

I don't think that's working on me.
It just leaves me wondering if she's too stupid to put the belt in the right place.

Could be just me but the first thing I notice is that legs do not end where her skirt ends or if they do that she's horribly deformed. But since I can see her knees I've got a pretty good estimate of where her legs actually end.

Also what the hell is wrong with her mouth?

OMFG LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS ******* NEED TO LEARN THIS.
