What what what

I'm really just writing in this blog to kill the last 30 minutes of work. It's a blatant disclaimer, please don't expect a unified theme or any inspired pieces of writing today. It's going to be motley crue, in line with all the random noise in my head I suppose.

Having blunt cut bangs like those high end fashion models on the catwalk - nice, very nice. The price you pay? You have to wash your forehead religiously to keep it clean. I'm being bugged by Jason to change my hairstyle. But truthfully, I really don't feel like it. I have in mind a picture of the type of hair I'm striving for. It's still a work in progress and I don't want to cut short my hair's potential. It would be a shame.

I exchanged songs over email with a colleague today. She sent me a funny weird song. A "chicken" singing about avian flu and how she (the chicken) doesn't mind being eaten, doesn't mind having her eggs snatched, she just doesn't want to be seen as wellspring of disease. Okaaay. Moving on to other news.

My current struggle at work to get a certain bacterial product is becoming a laboratory joke. It's both ego deflating and heartwarming (I know, contradictory emotions) Today, I finally am getting a product that may be what I was looking for and when I told people in the lab, one person broke out a WHOOOPEEE and another person was all smiles and cheers. I know my boss will not be complaining.

I was supposed to go have dinner with a friend today. It was cancelled at the last minute because her father was in the hospital. She's so nice and polite, she sounded truly apologetic on the phone when cancelling on me. If it were me cancelling, I'd just go, "Listen, I can't go because blah blah blah." It was not a situation that called for any sorries to be made.

I spent a good hour today struggling to read a scientific paper. It made me feel stooopid. I was like a student struggling with English. I had to read each sentence slowly, line by line, sometimes looping back to repeatedly read the same paragraph again. I think I am gradually getting a clearer picture of what the research is about. But it's still taking way too long for bragging rights.

Oh God!!! It's only 5:44. Why oh why does time go so slowly? On the other hand, I don't know what I'll be doing with myself after work today. It promises to be a dull evening...maybe. We'll see. I guess I could go work out at the gym. I could also finish watching 24. Chloe O'Brian, why is this person not making millions hacking into bank accounts? She's got all the ingredients to be an evil genius who can dominate the world (well, maybe not the personality). I find it funny that she's everyone's goto person on the computer, she's a one woman computer central. I swear, she should have eight hands, with the work that she does. Does she never feel overwhelmed? It's always like this. Jack: Chloe, I need you to cross reference all data sources and link it back to Christopher Henderson and also transfer some ITPA protocols to my PDA asap. Chloe: peers at the computer, pounds a few keys, "I'm on it, Jack!" Well they are a dynamic duo.

In other news, Mom recently bought seedless watermelon that was oh so sweet. Yummy.

In other news, I might go jetskiing with Jason this weekend. it depends on how well he plans the thing and whether it all works out in the end. Just kidding, I'm sure it will be fun. I can't wait to go jetskiing. Next thrill seeking event: Skydiving? We'll see...I'm not so sure I'm up for it just yet, seeing as how I have a substantial phobia of falling and dying.

Alright enough rambling for today. Adios!
