This morning the gates were unlocked and the ScienceBloggers rushed back to their blogs, a little feverish from having been kept away for more than 36 hours. From what I have been able to gather, we all dealt with it differently. Some of us drank wine, some of us spent time with our families, and some of us sat in the corner with our laptops, rocking back and forth, mumbling incoherently, and hitting refresh every 10 seconds.
I'm still learning to use this stuff. I should be back this evening though with a real post for you. I'm debating whether to post an edition of "Ask Dr. Isis" (I'm sitting on two that are really hot and that I would like to get to this week) or my final and long overdue entry in Isis and PhysioProf's Recipe War (the post that started it all is here and the first entry is here, for those of you who need to catch up).
So, I'll be back in a few hours, after I've had time to wrap my mind around this hot mess. You're either going to get some science talk or a chocolate recipe. Either way, it will be totally delicious.
[UPDATE]: Dr. Isis really needs to stop reading about the 6 Insane Prison Escapes That Actually Happened and get her totally hot little self a shower and settled in to work on a new human research protocol. Seriously.

Ooooooh. I've been waiting for the final recipe war entry! It's dessert, no? mmmmmmm

It is dessert, Jenn! It has been baked, photodocumented, and eaten. It was (as you should expect)totally delicious.
Now go tell PhysioProf to get off his ass and post his entry.

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! The Goddess is BACK!!!!!!!
I must confess, when I read this sentence: "some of us sat in the corner with our laptops, rocking back and forth, mumbling incoherently, and hitting refresh every 10 seconds"
...I clicked the link to see if you were talking about me. LOL. I was like, "How could she possibly know......."
I'm excited for your post later! I'm hoping you'll lean toward one of the Ask Dr. Isis posts, because I am totally recipe'd out from CPP's "upgrade partay."

I never touched the laptop! NEVER! I was at the Workstation the whole time, honest!!!
Yes, yes, pressing refresh, pressing refresh, ever pressing refresh like I was trapped in some kind of Edgar Allen Poe story. That is true.
But I never touched the laptop. Well, OK, a few times. But only when I really needed to ....

It has to be the chocolate post. After all, isn't it a universal truth that we can't do hawt science without chocolate?
