It's getting cold again, but it still hasn't snowed. I guess that's good, because now even snow isn't an excuse to get out of work, and shoveling my driveway isn't fun.

Not that I hate work, considering what I get to do, but waking up in the cold is such a pain.

I guess I haven't been on here in a while, so what's going on with everyone else?

Happy birthday, Taki.

Anyway, I really can't wait until we get this project done. Working overtime is only fun when I'm not repeating the same tests over and over again.

Next week, we should all get together and do something fun, like having a party. We can call it Taki's birthday party or something, so long as we get drunk.

Hey, Atobe, dunno if they've told you yet, but we finished your project.

Thanks for sending me to China for it, by the way. It was really awesome not being able to understand anything!! >:(

Anyway, I'm back now. AND YUUSHI!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D

Let's do something tonight (unless you're busy with Atobe, of course)

I feel like blowing something up. I've still got some fireworks left over, anyone wanna help me set them off?

Dropped my phone into a puddle while texting and now the screen's broken and it's water-damaged. This'll be fun to deal with.

It's nice to get back into dancing, getting into the rhythms and adjusting to how the crowd reacts. And it's always fun teasing people, watching their reactions when I do something especially provocative. I hope boss'll let me come back sometimes even after Mokuba's arm heals.

In the meantime, I'd better go before I'm late!

Apparently, one of my ex-coworkers sprained his wrist, and now Nagahashi-san wants me to cover for him for the next couple weekends while he recovers. It's been a while, but this should be fun.

Oh, Kamio-san, we have to plan out our date sometime. Same with you, Fuji-san, once you get better.

Even if the food's great, Marui's charity event is actually kind of boring, but I ended up offering myself as a date and betting on a date. It turns out I actually won someone (and vice versa). I'm not sure who I'll be going on a date with yet, but it should be fun!

[[edit: eep, pretend this is during the event, since they'll know their dates!]]

So I was doing this experiment where I have to flame dry my beakers because the chemicals I was using were sensitive to water and that would basically ruin it.

Instead of rinsing the beakers with water beforehand, I accidentally grabbed the ethanol.

Three guesses what happened when I held the beaker over the Bunsen burner. Thank god for beaker

I can't wait for the Nascar party thing this weekend! I didn't think that racing was really Atobe's thing, but I guess that he would wanna be the best at it.

So is everyone else going, too?

I wonder if they need any fireworks...
