Just got back, well, half an hour ago, from watching "Little Miss Sunshine." Oh my gosh, it was absolutely hysterical!! It's probably my new favorite movie this summer. That might in part be because I really needed a destress after work this week (and it's only Wednesday!). Let's just say that I am now in crunch time. I set something like 9ish separate reactions, and a couple of extra branch-off reactions from those. And... tomorrow is going to be roughly the same. And Friday. And until next Wednesday when I present. But it's okay, I like being in the lab actually doing reactions, and hopefully (cross fingers, toes, legs, arms, and wear braids) hopefully I'll get some good results. But yeah, things are going well, they just involve me running around like mad.
Right, so the movie is about this little girl Olive who wants to be a beauty pagent queen (she's 7) and her wacky family as they travel from NM to Cali in their VW wagon that ... yeah, good things. Yay for independent movies. And free tickets to the theater.
And then last night, I went to Shakespeare on the Commons! SO amazing! They put on "The Taming of the Shrew," set in Bostonia in the 1940s or 50s. They played swing music during the act shifts, and I really wished I had someone to dance with. =[ But yeah, the play was amazing. Yay for Boston having things like that.
My favorite phrase of the day came from a tour bus that drove by me as I was walking home. Kid 1: "Do you know what potato means?!!?" Kid 2: "Yeah, potato!" So maybe it was funnier at the time, but I love what kids say.
Yup, that's life in Boston. I'm ready to head home and do NOTHING for a week. A vacation sounds amazing and incredibly good right now.
