Having a nice weekend, not ready for it to be over. #
A little obsessed with my new sewing machine, would rather be at home right now working on my quilt. #
What is up with all of these planes crashing? #
Bah, have decided that being nice gets a person nowhere in this job. #
Am actually looking [...]
@annapw My dad recently got on Facebook, too. I was disturbed. His invite is still sitting in my inbox. #
I was not aware that learning to sew was going to involve so much swearing. #
So glad my on-call week is over. #
I always thought ignoring people would make them go away eventually, but [...]
Just made a horrific discovery: Josh’s friend John lives in the same neighborhood as The ‘Stache. #
Making homemade fried chicken and squash casserole tonight. Omnomnom. #
@annapw I use this recipe with our countertop fryer. It’s fantastic: http://tinyurl.com/agfbyt #
Gack, one of my ears is stopped up. An annoying way to start a Monday. #
Dude, you [...]
@darkphetus haha I have to take advantage of it when I can…since I’m married to The Pasta Nazi. #
THIS JUST IN: it’s snowing. #
We definitely have a snow dog. #
Maybe the layer of ice on the roads will convince my boss that sometimes it’s OK to work from home. #
Wish Chik-fil-a delivered chicken biscuits. #
Need [...]
Warm weather has induced the pets to shed. And by “shed” I mean “coat the house in a one-inch-thick layer of fur.” #
Oh, I do love coffee. #
Stupid, stupid customers. #
Ugh, I smell a disaster coming. #
Cringing as the new guy learns bad information from the useless guy in our group. #
Ah, if wishes were [...]
Almost wrecked my car gawking at a guy walking two large and impressively groomed poodles. #
That dog is crazy. #
@Joe_G No offense to that Robert guy, but I gave up BeTwittered for TwitterFox. So far I like it much better. #
Why does beer make my nose itch? Google, I am calling on you for [...]
Two pets with white fur. Why do I even own a black pair of pants? #
Had an outage here at the Internet. I would like to point out that I warned my group about this multiple times, and no one ever listened. #
Sitting back and letting the menfolk handle this while I grumble under [...]
Fellow Twitterites: entertain me. I am bored. #
One of the great mysteries of nature: how can leftover pizza be so much better the next day? #
I am hereby changing the name of Wednesday to “LOSTday.” Hopefully there will be no objections to this. #
Some people give me a headache. #
Wish dinner would magically [...]
Am the only one here from my team today. Hope it continues to be quiet… #
Trying to be nice. Trying very hard. #
Getting a cup of coffee from the opaque coffee pot is always a gamble: will I use the last cup and have to brew another pot? SUSPENSE. #
Coworker just popped into [...]
So nice not to have to wear a coat to work today. #
Dunno why work has been so slow the past two weeks, but I am enjoying it. #
*grumble* #
Bad call to get from your husband: “Uh, I can’t tell if the dog puked or vomited.” Time to get out the steam vac again. [...]
Since I seem to be on a random thoughts kick the past few days, here are some more–straight from the ol’ melon:
In the process of buying a car, I found out my credit score. We knew my credit was better than Josh’s, so my name had to go down as purchaser of the car (to [...]
Some random thoughts for a random Tuesday:
It pays to go rifling through old crap in the lab. I found an autosampler (!) and a fraction collector (!!) that can connect to the HPLC. This means I can totally automate the HPLC crap I’ve been doing lately…provided I can hook everything up correctly. Oh, and the [...]
Random thoughts for a rainy Thursday, and I promise to keep them un-melancholy this time:
My second favorite time of the year has arrived. What is so special about spring, you ask? Two reasons: Girl Scout cookies and good thunderstorms. Both of which I have already experienced this morning. Thin mints totally make a decent breakfast, [...]
Hey, so does anybody besides me still watch LOST? Just curious. After last night’s episode, however, I may not be watching for much longer because, geez. Talk about boring. Boring and also lamer than FDR’s legs (sorry, couldn’t resist). An entire episode dedicated to Jack’s tattoos? Seriously. I [...]
Let’s see: it’s 8am, I’m alone in the lab, and I have absolutely nothing to write about. Hey, I know! How about a meme? According to this one meme I saw somewhere (exactly where, I don’t remember), I’m supposed to tell you 6 weird things about myself. Hoo boy, I am definitely running low on [...]
Hot dog, it’s Friday! Well, for 40 more minutes, at least. And then? It will be SATURDAY! Far better than Friday.
Some sniblets for you:
Oh, check it out over there on the right: streaming music that you can listen to. And if I remember to do so, perhaps I will change [...]
I unfortunately lack the mental fortitude this morning to write a coherent post because I feel like puking. I feel like puking because on mornings when there is no traffic, Josh drives like a flippin’ maniac on our way to work–lots of sudden stopping, starting, and sharp, quick turns. And frankly, that’s too much for [...]
So nothing much exciting to report on today. Let’s hear it for MLK Day and a free day off from work. I could’ve spent it doing something constructive, but instead, I slept in, played a little Zelda on Josh’s Wii, upgraded our aquarium, ate some really good sushi, did some laundry, and knitted a little [...]
Alright, so I can’t think of one cohesive subject to write about today, and so I give you…Random Thoughts!
My coffee habit? Totally out of control these days. If you’re counting by 8oz cups, I am probably on Cup #4 by now. It’s only 10:30am. Every addict needs to blame something or someone for their habit, [...]
Reason #34346 why it’s better to be ITP than OTP: Coffee shops in Gwinnett county close at 9pm, as Jenna and I discovered last night when we arrived at 9 at a certain worldwide coffee chain franchise that rhymes with “Car Ducks” and the barista let us purchase what was probably a total of $10 [...]
I borrowed this from All & Sundry’s blog archives (link to the right) who borrowed it from someone else’s blog who probably borrowed it from someone else’s blog. These things spread like viruses. Since I haven’t got much else to write about today, I will indulge my inner teen and, like, tOtalLy dO a qUIzz!!1! [...]
So the problem with posting so often is that I don’t always have anything interesting to write about. Work has been slow this week. Nobody much is in the lab, and that makes it awfully hard to concentrate and be productive. Christmas is Monday. We’ll be spending Christmas Eve at my parents’ house in Lawrenceville [...]
[Oooh, check it out--third day in a row of posting! I told you I'd keep up with the "posting more often" thing.]
I feel like I need to pass on some things that have made me happy lately so that perhaps they may make you happy, too. So here are some reviews. And links, too, if [...]
So I’m here at work at 8am–an hour before usual. Josh had an 8am final, and since he’s my ride to MARTA that means I too have to extract myself from our bed and slog my way to work at 8am. But there is a silver lining: a coffee big enough to swim in and [...]
Just to make me hate my job a little more, the nice quiet Chinese girl has been kind enough to put on the new CD that she won in our lab Christmas gift swap.
It’s “A Merry Disney Christmas.”
I am contemplating shoving Pasteur pipets in my eardrums to make the pain stop.
Wish I had time to write a real post, but since I don’t and I have to keep you entertained so you keep coming back here, I have provided a video to keep you occupied until I can write more:
Ok Go – Here It Goes Again
Best. Video. Ever. And their album is pretty good, too.
Astonishingly, the “next blog” button has brought me something good.
The Swedish Bird-of-the-Day Blog
If you’re a fan of birds, you’ll like this one–lots of very nice pictures. The birds are Swedish birds, so I’m not familiar with a lot of them. But really, the pictures are just lovely, and it makes me smile. I’m putting a [...]
My previous entry is one of probably 3 entries spotlighting the fauna of Decatur Street. I plan on continuing them soon. Stay tuned for upcoming stories on an iguana and some fiesty crabs. But for now, I feel the need to post a few snippets of things that make me happy, excited, or otherwise moved [...]
First: Have any of you seen the new Geico commerical with Charo in it? Holy crap, it cracks me up.
Second (for my knitting friends): I just stumbled across the DiY network’s knitting show. It’s actually quite interesting, and I think it’s useful to actually watch someone DO these techniques (as opposed to scrutinizing drawings in [...]
I have recently rekindled a forgotten love for a television show: Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs.” While staying up late last night to chug water for my blood donation today (which, incidentally, never happened as my iron level was too low. Too bad, because I was really looking forward to those Nutter Butters), I flipped to [...]
[I happen to be watching this thing on TV about those two divers that a few years ago got left on the Great Barrier Reef. It's a little creepy. When I was diving south of Sydney, I got separated from my buddy and the rest of the group because I got absorbed in looking at [...]
I’m in the middle of overhauling my blog, so if anything looks funny/ugly/weird, that would be why. I got tired of the canned templates that blogger offers, so I made my own. Let me know if you don’t like it or if anything is too hard to read.
On a random notion, I googled the term [...]
Here are a collection of random thoughts in lieu of a regular, rambling entry.
I decided this evening that perhaps my most favorite smell may be detergent. Especially laundry and dishwasher powder detergent. It’s probably a good thing you can’t get high from sniffing a box of laundry detergent.
I secretly do not like the Georgia Aquarium, [...]
“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later.”

(I [heart] Mitch Hedburg, God rest his comedic soul)
Somebody’s figured out my life EXACTLY:
What I do everyday
If you’re a grad student, trust me, these comics are right on the money. I’ve spent several hours reading them and then just cracking up. It’s good to know that everyone else feels as depressed and stressed as me. The guy who writes them is coming to [...]
Time for random thoughts:
I just figured out those random questions that are in the blogger profiles. So I told it to give me one. Go look. It’s an exceptionaly pertinent question, given my profile picture.
Does anyone find the band 311 as annoying as I do? Get an original tune already. Geez.
If someone made a movie [...]
Walking from the student center to the library involves walking down “Skiles Walkway.” Skiles Walkway is a gauntlet of various student organizations–all lobbying for your attention. As I walked to the library today, I was handed two flyers, and all I could think of was a Mitch Hedburg (a comedian) line:
“I don’t understand why people [...]
So you’re probably wondering about the “Rock Lobster” references in my blog. Mostly it was because I couldn’t think of any other theme. Also it was because the song “Rock Lobster” by the B-52’s (yes, Jenna, I’m aware they’re from Athens) refers to sea fans in the lyrics…
“…Mermaids wavin’Wavin’ to the mermen.Wavin’ sea fans,Sea horses [...]
This represents blog #3251234 started by me. Maybe this one will last more than a month.
Vive l’internet!
