eckerlilas wins tonight! ♥ I hope she, shutyourface, fiddleyoumust, ericaplease, and harriet_vane (and others I'm sure I'm forgetting) had an awesome time at the Discos' show tonight. PICS OF THE STEAM PUNK KIT, I WANT THEM!
+ Happy birthday toharriet_vane! Here's to a new year, full of exciting travel plans and a new place and hopefully lots of positive thoughts and events!
+ Spent the day wigged out because I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen my wedding ring. I don't even wear it 99% of the time, but when I was digging out earrings to wear this morning I didn't see it in its spot, and I couldn't figure out when I'd last worn it or where I might've put it. Searched before work, then after work I dug through all backpacks, bags, totes, and pockets before finding it.
All that stress for a hunk of pressed metal and crystal?
+ Spent half my work day using one of the department's confocal microscopes. IDK, it's good that the manager wants to help me learn the system, but she's a physicist, not a cell biologist, so I'm not sure that her advice will give me the result that I need. But at least I know now how to work the set-up, and I didn't bleach my samples, so I can always sign up for more time and re-acquire images with a higher magnification and redefining the original Z plane where I want, rather than where she thinks the cells look best.
+ Hey, new Against Me! album. I'm enjoying you. (Even though you're just different recordings/demos from Searching for a Former Clarity.)
+ Billie Joe Armstrong's teenaged sons have a band? And he produced their first album? I can't decide if I'm intrigued or if that convinces me even more that it's all about who you know.
+ So TAI's following in the footsteps of other DD/FBR bands? I'm sure I'll be sad about the departure of MGC and the Butcher at some point, but a) I'm enjoying his Animal Upstairs project, b) I'm curious to hear the new album without their influences, and c) I feel like, if there's any truth to the rumors about how Tomrad was given the heave-ho, we should enjoy some irony.
+ Time to settle into bed and set the TV so that I fall asleep watching today's French Open matches. I hear Rafa's match against Isner was more epic than it should've been? And that Nando's hair is making the FO its last stand?
+ I mentioned this in an email towhy_me_why_not and jmc_bks. The world doesn't need more schmoop, right? But this pic cries out for it.
(From TRicks' blog last week)
Brad isn't a dog person, right? But the bomb-sniffing dog for his team in Afghanistan has puppies, and one imprints on him instead of its mom. He ends up naming it Person, perwhy_me_why_not's suggestion.
How hard do you think he ends up working to get Person not disposed of, and then get the pup home when he redeploys? And what does Ray (or better yet, Nate) say when they get there? Yeah. This is my brain on schmoop.
+ Last random thought for the day. Why did hero_living follow me back on twitter? I enjoy Rudy's (or whoever posts in lieu of Rudy) positive thoughts, but I didn't realize they followed people back. :/ Fourth wall, I like you.
