AHAHAHA...fail.
Haha, I killed a spider with a rolled up Science magazine yesterday.
On the one hand, it was infinitely preferable to losing the (freakishly fast! seriously, guys) spider and spending the rest of my life paranoid that it's going to reappear somewhere.
On the other hand, there was an article in that Science that I really wanted to read, and now I ( Read more... ) -
it's not just me!
Bwahaha! So, I'm at lab, right, and it's dinnertime-ish, but I haven't finished all the experiments I want to do today yet, so I run out to grab something from a nearby restaurant (which, to tell the truth I would have done even if I were heading home instead of coming back to lab because, as we've already established, unequivocally and on multiple ( Read more... ) -
all the (not so) little ways watchmen has hijacked my life....
I don't write in my livejournal ever, and suddenly now I can't stop posting entries about how awesome Watchmen is. Which it is.
Rorschach has been the wallpaper on my laptop for the past three months.
Rorschach has been the wallpaper on the lab computer I share with about three other people for the past two months.

2nd time around: the verdict...
...
...that was SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!
*is ded*
Now before you're all like, "What the crap, I don't want to have to pay to see the movie twice before I cash in on the awesome!" Even though it would still be totally worth it I have some theories on why my reaction to the first time was less than enthusiastic...
One, I think a big part of it was ( Read more... ) -
watchmen
So as pretty much anyone who's ever passed me on the street knows (and it would be funny except I'm not joking...), I went to see Watchmen on IMAX this weekend. Not on opening night because I was not hardcore enough and the midnight showing in both nearby IMAX theaters had sold out weeks in advance... (Seriously, what losers, right? :D)
Anyway, ( Read more... ) -
this is when you know it's gone too far...
The guy who works at New England Comics apparently recognizes me on sight and knows my name. I popped in yesterday, and they didn't have the comic book I was looking for (I'm branching into Marvel. Be very afraid.) so he had to order it for me. And he was like, "Linh, right?" And I was like, "OMG, the comic book people know my name! I feel so ( Read more... ) -
SNOW!
So I ended up going to work in the morning after all because the snow wasn't supposed to hit until, like, 2pm or so. It's funny--when I first moved to Boston, I figured the people here would be all blase about the snow and smile at me patronizingly whenever I got excited about it. Nuh-uh. Yesterday morning the pervading attitude seemed to be, "I ( Read more... ) -

scelerophobia
I think I mentioned a long time ago (because the last time I updated this journal was--oh wait--a long time ago!) that I'm currently living in a house with four of my friends. Generally, this seems like a bad idea--too many independent people sharing common living quarters for too long inevitably leads to epic blow-outs and adult-sized tantrums ( Read more... ) -
power outage!!!
HA! The power in my lab is out (heck, the power in the entire block is out) and it's a gorgeous day, so guess what I'm doing?!
That's right, math homework!
