hey meg - these are for you! look how awesome our living room looks :) all the pictures in the frames are my dad's.
we took these pictures on thursday before rups and ameya came over. the other pictures from the night are in anusha's camera. . .
you guys should fight more often if it means he'll buy us more presents :)
i didn't do much work. now i'm just watching tv. i'm going to put the laptop down now.
jules, dev just bought me a new wireless hub that is supposed to be muuuch faster than our old one
thought youd be excited :)
i told patty id go with her tomorrow to get her car...and its like an hour away!!! this sucks! how am i goign to get any work done!!!
im prob not goign to be home for a while...im gonna go to devs after work, get some laundry started and i think take a nap there...then ill come home after...he is going to some party, and actually invited me to go with him, but i dont want to...im waaaay too tired
yay for dvr! and yay for home setups.
rupa had to come home cause her sis will get into town in a little bit, so she said i could sit on her couch and work on her work laptop while she cleans up. this is so much more fun than working at the office :)
nush - you should study at work so you can hang out a little at home tonight :)
i think i need to ask gen one question.
and then i need to fill out one form (which is half filled out and only a page long) and then i will go home. enough of this sitting at my desk and playing! its useless. i might as well go run my errands and go home instead. . . .
don't look at the nutritional info! i firmly stand by the saying "ignorance is bliss." going out drinking just makes me want to be so unhealthy the next day. i always just crave greasy bad for you food. if someone looks up the nutritional info for buffalo wings, i think i'll scream. hmm - now you guys are making me feel guilty. maybe i'll force myself to go to the gym after work to make up for the wings i'm going to have tonight. or for the coffee cake i just ate. or for half of rupa's happy meal fries. . .
rupa's hula hello kitty is cute :)
writing down what you eat actually does work. i tried it for a couple of weeks this summer, and you eat so much less when you write it all down! hmm - maybe i'll start doing that again. i usually eat pretty healthy all week. it's the weekends and drinking that kill me. . .
ive always wanted to keep track, but since i eat so much random indian home cooking and stuff its hard....i tried doing weight watchers when i started working here cause my cousin was doing it, but i couldnt do it...
although ive foudn just writing everything you eat down makes you eat less!!!
all said after a bag of fritos....cause they dont make small size bags of spicy doritos!!!
i found a default template to set up a calorie counter spread in excel - it has the formulas already set up to type in your recommended total calories and fat and type in everything you ate and it'll do all the subtraction and percentages for you . . . i added in a category for carbs too and was thinking i'd be good and keep track. yeah, all corporate chains now have their nutrition info online. my recommendation is not to check - let yourself pretend. it's painful to see the actual numbers. example - one of the worst things for you - in regards to fat - served at chang's is the salad. that takes the fun out of it!!!!! oh, and don't even get me started on johnny rockett's burger and a milkshake - that'll fill your day's daily allowance of everything except vitamins! so, i say going out to eat is about spoiling yourself. don't look at the calories, it ruins it!
what is a hot and spicy chicken sandwich???
chicken select strips are sooooo bad for you....
rupa - what happy meal toy did you get?
just for kicks i went to the mc d's site.. to see what our damage was today :) funny how they have calorie listings on the website now! and i discovered... that you can get a happy meal with an apple and milk instead of fries and coke.. not that we would do that.. mc d's has to be unhealthy :)
for your enjoyment

ive been craving the new chicken select stuff there!!! but after seeing super size me and after feeling like eatign that basically negates working out for a month, i have withheld...but i think ill give in next week...
i really want taco bell this weekend too...i love that it is close to us...
ordering wings sounds good...although jackie and i are on opposite ends of the spectrum! so well have to see how that works out....
wow we are fatties....and im so tired and hung over still that i dont want to work out today :)
i just spoke to my boyfriend jackie - she doesn't want to go to a sports bar; looks like she's just as tired as we are. she suggested we watch the game at home and order wing. we'll probably order from that atomic wings place (those are the wings they have at down the hatch). so nush, how does that sound?
testing 123: rupa and i were trying to figure out why my postings always come up with the link to Girls. i guess i just didn't erase the whole html part completely, so that's why it was doing that.
nush, i'm glad the talk was good :)
rupa and i just went for a walk around the block, then went to a mcdonalds that's twice as far as the one around the corner from our building, and we sat in the park while rupa ate her happy meal and i ate her fries. all in all, a good lunch break.
the nap was good, the talk was not fun, but also good. he just doenst communicate well. i told him if what i needed from him last night was too much to ask for then i dont think that i can be in the relationship...he basically was like im just not used to having someone always concerned and living their life around what i do and im not used to having to tell someone things all the time, but that doesnt mean i cant change, and i have to change at some point...blah blah....
i forwarded your part about the yankees blog to him...lets see what he says...although i think i need to go home, nap and then study....but i havent had wings in soooo long! i def want to go to fridays happy hour sometime next week to have half off wings....my treat if either of you will go with me!!!!
why the testing 123?
maybe we'll do the baseball game too :) today is of course my sis's bday.. yay! she's coming in very soon.. which means i'm leaving work very soon... and then maybe we'll meet up with you guys. i miss holden too :(
jules- there's some software i have used that i loved called PodAct or something like that.. i need to look on my laptop at home and see what it is. i'll let you know :) i can't get light in your eyes out of my head now!!!
Girls
and i forgot to charge my ipod last night so there's no way it's going to last me another 5 hours :(
oh, i def do less work.
on the other hand, from monday at 8:30 to wednesday at 3, i put in . . 27.5 hours in which i was actually doing stuff that whole time. sooo . . . i don't do a whole lot total, and the work i do do seems to come in random spurts.
Girls
i didn't think that was possible! ;)
nush - yankees vs redsox tonight. i know you wanted to study.. .but wings and baseball! how you can you say no to that?
holden sent rupa and me an email seeing if we wanted to go to riviera to watch the game. i'll go if you and / or peter wanna come. and of course, dev and his friends are invited too. i wanna meet this famous jack :)
i think watching a baseball game and then going home and sleeping sounds like a great way to spend friday night. . .
ok, i'm bored of being at work now. as soon as i def confirm antibodies, i am going to walk to where dorothy's desk is in my one attempt to talk to her (which i keep trying to pysch myself up to do and never actually get around to it . . . after that, i'm going home! i'm not doing anything. courtney set up a sign up binder for one of the machines that other labs are using that shouldn't be. the only extra binder she found was bright pink and the only tape around was mint green - i said it looked like a watermelon and gen jokingly suggested i draw on seeds. now, at the bottom of the binder is an outline of a watermelon half in green tape, black seeds drawn in and "fruity" written at teh bottom. they told me to go do work . . .
Girls
trust me megan, i'm definitely bringing my ipod. i plan on stealing a lot of your music! i haven't found a place to download songs for free. i've actually been purchasing songs on iTunes for a while now. i definitely think it's worth it.
rups - do you know how to take music from an ipod and put it on a computer? i know there's some sort of software you can download to do it, but the last time i tried it it didn't work and i just ended up erasing everything from my ipod.
oh yea - megan, anusha's hair looked awesome last night! we took some pics, so hopefully we'll put those up soon. (they were taken on anusha's camera, though, and she's not the best at sharing her digital pictures).
nush - can rupa and i come nap at dev's too??? nah, just kidding. i think it's good for you guys to talk. i'm sure everything will work out. is he coming to the comedy thing with us tomorrow?
i don't have thge song light in your eyes, but i definitely want to get it from megan :)
yay- you should get one. i love mine!! i have light in your eyes.. it's in my morning mix :) but i'm ipod is at home today. i'll upload it later. got to have my meeting with jules today!! yay!
whats going on with your ipod megan?? i havent heard anything about it....maybe you can wait to see mine and julies next weekend and then decide which one you like? mine is green...i love it!
jules - i think i need to go talk to dev...plus im tempted to go there and take a nap :) its probably a bad idea, but either way i need to go talk to him...and i think after talking to you this morning im more calm :) i love my friends, you guys are the best
AND I LOVE MY HAIR!!!!!! :)
if julie doesn't have it, i do.
in fact, make sure to bring ipods so everyone can skim through my selection and get new music :) can't promise any amazing finds, but you'll get some new options :)
jules - did you every find a place to download mp3s conveniently? i think once i actually get my ipod, i might just suck it up and do the itunes thing through mac - its only .99 a song . . .
HE is on thefacebook.com
and has over 50 pages of friends . . . i know, because i was trying to find the v's to see if johnny v was up :)
Girls
it was so nice to hang out yesterday! we had a great time. . .too bad dev was a pipi head last night.
nush, do you want to meet up for lunch later? i brought a sandwich, but i can bring it and eat with you wherever you want. rupa doesn't have a couch anymore (sad, i know), which is why i had to show up to work at 10:30 this morning. i love working somewhere flexible :)
i'm supposed to go out and party again tonight, but i really really dont want to do that again. i think my ideal evening would be: go to the gym after work, go home and make dinner, stay in and watch a movie. i invited jacob and his roommates over for happy hour, but i'm hoping i can just push it back till tomorrow. the thought of drinking again tonight isn't making me very excited.
so nush - meet up later? rups, are you free? will you be able to join us?
havent heard that song in forever...jules do you (and therefore I) have it?
for me the song was the usher one that chris sang :)
i knew him!!!!
he came to my room!!!!!
really, he and i should have made out. why didn't we make out??? probably because i didn't think i could actually make out with a guy i had a crush on. DAMNIT! why didn't i just make a pass at him back then?! he was a freshman! he would have been excited to have a random sophomore girl jumping him!!!!!! did they tell you what he was up to these days? oh, johnny v . . . i told edgar that this guy named collins used to sing light in your eyes and it would make all the girls in the room cream in their pants. he was unimpressed.
do you still have a couch in your office? can i come over at like 1130 and take a nap???
i feel like crap.....
devs roommates are 3 atos '04s, and i told them that the only 04 i knew was johnny v, and i didnt know him, i just wanted to know him :)
they laughed
:( :( :(
i'm sorry! i think he sounds a whole hell of a lot more high maintenance than you! i'm glad you got to go out and have fun, though. you've been working hard studying and that is bound to get to you. i'm glad you let yourself have a night off to hang out with friends, even if dev was a stupid head :( boys suck! i can't wait for you guys to get here next week!!! i'm going to leave early again today and i keep thinking why isn't it next week yet?!
so, i got to stay home and organize :) i watched man on fire (not good) and cleaned out my closet (mostly) edgar dropped and added a class yesterday, so he got to play catch up and do a lab and a take home quiz he missed. i got to see him for like an hour - i met up with him at dennys while he grabbed some food and then i went with him to his school to finish the lab write up and slip it under his prof's door.
i KNOW i'm not hanging out with anyone tonight :) basically everyone i know works at restaurants, so they are all working. so, i think i'll finish putting away clothes and organizing and maybe take back empty bottles . . . i lead such an exciting life :) MAYBE i'll make it to the gym!
have you guys ever heard of thefacebook.com? its like freindster, only it divides everyone up by what college they are going to/went to. koo added herself and put up a pic from spring break with both her and i in it. i played around on it for a little while this morning, seeing who was on it. i was hoping for a ryan wagar or jamie brady or johnny v - someone i am almost sure i'll never see/speak to again . . . but no such luck.
i would love to post the pic. i found one . . . but once again, blog hates me or my computer does . . .
megan to add a little to rupas blog...
the night with the girls was great - and the best part is we are going to be doing that all next weekend WITH YOU TOO!!!!
but the night with the boy was not so good...hence the title of this blog....
the night for me started at 530 when jules and i drove for 2 hours to go get our haircut :) but it was def worth it and we will def do it again....ill send you pictures tonight when i get home - but he showed me how to make my hair curly!!! i love him :)
and what i wanted for the evening was to spend time with rupa julie and ameya and also with dev and his friends. i know that my friends would have gone wherever he was, and i told him that - all he had to do was call. and at 8 i called and was like im on my way back where are you? at 9 i called and was like im in the city and dont know where ims uppsoed to meet you so im going home. he texted me and was like i dont get reception here, ill call you in a few hours. i wrote back and said, i want to come with you! he wrote back and was like there isnt anyone here you wouldnt like it anyway, so i said fine, went home hung out with jackie and julie...ameya and rupa came to the apt...we went to one club, now 1130, still no call from dev...went to another club, now around 1 maybe, still no call. then he calls and is like im home, where are you? at the time i was already crying out side of a club wanting to just crawl into a ball and go home. he complains every day that i dont like his friends and i dont want ot hang out with them, when really how the hell is this my fault?? i keep trying and asking and begging for him to call me to see them and he doesnt call...
anyway we ended up at a club across the street from his apt so i called and told him that, he showed up and the second he got there was like i just want to go home, and i said fine, go, but i was mad at that point, and ready to call it a night, so i said bye to the girls, caught up with him, gave him a piece of my mind, told him i wanted to go home, be by myself, the cabby was really nice and was like sorry you are crying i dont have any tissues, i called chike on my way home cause i just wanted to feel appreciated - i wanted a guy to tell me that i wasnt high maintenance and that i was fun when we dated - cause dev thinks all this is high maintenance - all i wanted was for him to call me so i could go out with HIS friends???!? i dont get it....
ill prob blog a lot today cause my two bosses arent here.....
i want to just be home and asleep.....
Megan- I had a fun night with these girls that involved drinking at their apt (and seeing the apt all setup).. going to one bar and watching really good breakdancers do their pop-locking thing :) and then out to a club that played real hip-hop. :)
Even though we all live in the same city, this was the first time in a long time that we all hung out. Yay!!
