I had a dream last night where I was walking on the streets of New York City with my mom, and we passed a candy and ice cream shop. I did a double take as we went by because there was a dude looking in the window, and I realized on my second look that it was Nicholas Cage. I ran back and started to chat him up. Reality-me thinks Nicholas Cage ( Read more... )

I DID IT. Or, more precisely, I'm about to finish a meme! WOoooooOOT.

Day 30 - Your least favorite movie

( That's...kind of a bummer end to this meme. )

feiran started this ridiculously fun and challenging meme, and despite the fact that, at first glance, I appeared to be hopeless at it, I've come to love it. So I wanna play from the other side and I'ma stealing her meme!

The way it works is that I pick ten fictional characters, you invent ridiculous scenarios for the characters (e.g. 1 and 3 are trapped ( Read more... )

So close...sooooo close. Man, I should be studying. I just can't memorize this stuff any harder. It's all there. I know every flash card, by heart at this point. I've re-read my notes and the textbook more times than can possibly be necessary.

Wish me luck today, everyone. I missed two days and left my culture work in the hands of people who had to call me twice in the same day to ask how to take care of it. The girls who did the work are both good at culture stuff, so I'm sure they did fine. But there were involved plans to do more stuff with the cultures today, only half of which I ( Read more... )

Yesterday was our official lab christening or whatever. We toasted the rich guy who gave us all the money for the new floor. I had about three sips of wine and champagne and a ton of cheese before I started to feel not so hot. Our lab had happy hour plans, though--to welcome the new members--so I went out with them and sipped a diet soda for a ( Read more... )
