Random Thoughts
Melon juice
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Since 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 [...]
No knitted thongs in this post
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007Some 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 [...]
Happy because I had cookies for breakfast
Thursday, March 1st, 2007Random 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, [...]
LOST is lost, pretty much.
Friday, February 23rd, 2007Hey, 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 [...]
Hell is wearing corduroy in an elevator while drinking sweet tea
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007Let’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 [...]
Sniblets
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007Hot 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 [...]
Blech, some reviews, and a baby picture
Monday, January 22nd, 2007I 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 [...]
Mmm, snarky needlepoint.
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007So 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 [...]
"Drive by…Miami-style."
Friday, January 12th, 2007Alright, 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, [...]
ITP, OTP, and MCP (that stands for "Merry Christmas, People")
Friday, December 22nd, 2006Reason #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 [...]
2006 in 39 questions
Thursday, December 21st, 2006I 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! [...]
A Merry TiVo Christmas
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006So 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 [...]
A little something(s) to keep you occupied
Friday, December 15th, 2006[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 [...]
Blog-o-riffic
Thursday, December 14th, 2006So 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 [...]
Hell, thy name is "A Merry Disney Christmas"
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006Just 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.
Ok Go
Thursday, November 16th, 2006Wish 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.
Birds!
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006Astonishingly, 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 [...]
Snippets
Thursday, September 14th, 2006My 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 [...]
Four random paragraphs
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006First: 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 [...]
Mmm…dirt.
Tuesday, June 20th, 2006I 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 [...]
A veritable lobster bisque of pictures
Monday, June 19th, 2006[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 [...]
"Here comes an average-sized girl in blue jeeeeeeeeans!!"
Thursday, June 15th, 2006I’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 [...]
Detergents, dancing, and dog-in-a-barrel
Friday, June 9th, 2006Here 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, [...]
Quote of the Day
Saturday, March 25th, 2006“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later.”

Piled Higher and Deeper
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005Somebody’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 [...]
Random Firings of My Neurons
Thursday, October 20th, 2005Time 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 [...]
A Quick Thought from the Rock Lobster
Wednesday, October 5th, 2005Walking 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 [...]
They thought it was a rock…
Tuesday, August 9th, 2005So 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 [...]
Sucked in Again
Friday, August 5th, 2005This represents blog #3251234 started by me. Maybe this one will last more than a month.
Vive l’internet!
