Kristina's bachelorette party was Saturday night.  It was fun, etc etc.  And from it, I've got a public service message: I think that every female over the age of 22 (logic behind that: from 18 to 22, you've no idea what you're doing but you do it well anyway) ought to take a burlesque dancing class.  Not strip, not pole (although it looks nifty, ( Read more... )

 Okay, so, life, and blah-blah-blah, and horrendously-busy, but i still managed to spend the whole day pretending to be a third-year medical student.  (Day being 5AM - 5:30PM... and I left early, since I wasn't actually obligated to stay.)  It was AWESOME.  I'm going to be a SURGEON, y'all.  Seriously, though; I scrubbed in on an inguinal lymph ( Read more... )

So, y'know, Easter, meh. I volunteered at the children's hospital for four boring hours in the Family Resource Center, ostensibly a source for parents to get information about their kids' conditions but I function more often as a DVD/VHS-checkin-specialist... this is something I do every weekend, though not usually for four straight hours. Anyways ( Read more... )

Also, I would like to add, I think being a nerd has enriched my life in many ways... not the least of which is my ability to appreciate license plates. I'm sure it wasn't a vanity plate, but driving home from the grocery store I was behnd a Corolla with 256-PKA on the back. Like, 256 colors, pH of a weak acid/base something-or-other (it's been a ( Read more... )

Walking home from lab today, I saw two ambulances do a street race! At 5:30 in the evening ( Read more... )

Ka-pow! That is the sound of me blowing my master's advisory committee out of the water with my sheer researchy awesomeness. I just thought you'd all like to know ( Read more... )

My apartment is CLEAN. Like the loser mature person I am, I stayed in last night and started the cleaning process. And finished it today. All day. I did ten loads of laundry. (Note: mostly not clothes. Who do you think I am, Paris Hilton? I am quite sure she cannot be bothered with laundry anyhow.) I vacuumed like a madwoman in all the ( Read more... )

Huh. I've been listening to some mix CDs of Eminem's music (which brings me au courant with roughly 1999... yay!) and I've definitely got a lot more respect for rap. At least insofar as it resembles Eminem's music. These songs are, like, four-and-a-half-minute-long tonguetwisters with serious, eloquently-expressed messages. (Most of them.) And ( Read more... )

If having keys counts, I'm now in posession of two apartments, two cars, four cats, and a very cool house with an honest-to-goodness turret. (I don't count lab. They can KEEP lab.) I guess that's kinda neat.

Well, I've had an amazingly lousy last 48 hours. Completely separate from all the other crappy things, we'll start with bridesmaid dress shopping. It took Monique and me 45 minutes each way to drive five miles to a dress shop that had absolutely nothing we liked. I've very nearly given up on trying to find something that I want to spend $150 on ( Read more... )
