missed all the message all day long. i just skimmed really quick and have to say.. i LOVE desparate housewives. that's my new fave show too.. it's funny and good looking people and good drama.. but it's JUST dark enough to keep it really interesting.
1. update on gilmore girls
2. what movies you have out on netflix
3. more details about dinner with your dad....
the selfishness hasnt been developed, we are all used to it :)
old mit alums are even more weird and awk than the ones we know...and megan if you had to see people like alex and sunil and stuff and worse yet, the "cool people" at alum events you would avoid it too...
the song just came on and i started singing out loud. until i realized it was out loud. and then i shut up.
just thought i'd share :)
buuuut . . . you get to see mit kids ALL the time . . . it's not a new thing for you.
i NEVER see mit kids. my life is devoid of mit. sure, i'm surrounded with socially retarded smart guys - but they aren't as intimidatingly smart as mit boys. wait. is that better or worse?
anyway . . . i want to see what the alums in rochester are doing! maybe there are some mit alums who are now vets in rochester and want to mentor me! i'd settle for an mit alum's spouse :)
ahhh . . . that is familiar now :)
i'm sitting at my desk most of the day today - so feel free to continue posting messages :) :) :)
(have you guys noticed how selfish i am?? i ignore the blogs on days that i'm busy but days i'm not, i'm like WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO ME?! . . . it's a very bad personality trait i've developed :( )
i avoid most alumn and mit events like the plague! don't get me wrong - i love MIT. but i like to keep it in boston and just go back and visit whenever i feel like it.
chris vinikie was one of our TAs. we went out with him once in boston i think. he was funny.
i havent' seen the show desperate housewives. when's it on? i've heard a few people talk about it.
news about the yankees's loss is still all over the papers. it's pretty funny, cause they're going over all the reasons why the yankees lost, like management, poor coaching decisions, poor pitching, etc. and then finally, the last reason - the one they don't even want to admit: "maybe the red sox are just a better team" :)
chris was a TA we had for some course 15 class...he was the one who invited us to MBA events (one of particular siginificance would be the one where i met chike...)
he was a nice guy and called me randomly when he graduated and moved to ny, we tried to get together, he always blew me off...and now he calls again...
so, i updated my address like . . . a month-ish ago?
and i immediately got an email. there is a rochester alumni club! there are 360 rochester residents who are alums! so, i just got another email from the president seeing if there was enough interest to throw a young alum party on januarty 19th!!! i'm so excited! see, you guys are surrounded by fellow beavers - i'm isolated out here! and it turns out i'm a HUGE mit dork :) so, now i'm super excited and don't care if there is no young people interest and i just get to go to the old people parties. i love alums :)
there is a really pretty girl in that show...dont know her name but she is in all the magazines...
liam refuses to have dinner with me cause im a cards fan! :)
and jules guess who else called - chris vinkie!!! can you beleive it? his job is half in london half in ny so thats why i havent heard from him in a while, but he is here this week and we are supposed to get together on monday...
there is hardly anyone in the lab today . . . its eerily quiet right now. i kinda like it :)
has anyone watched desparate housewives? i think it's going to be my new show. between rave reviews and yesterday i learned that one of the guys (my cubby buddy who went to indian to meet the inlaws) leaves the lab - regardless of what he's doing - to go home and watch it every sunday. i mean, that's dedication . . . so, now i want to watch it :)
that's all. back to the community computer :)
fifth day in a row - complete craziness!
the girls in the lab are trying to schedule a girls night . . . so i might actually go out with people in the next week! tonight, jessie is going to syracuse to hang out with college friends - so edgar gets to sleep over. but of course, it's a friday so he'll have to work until like 11:30. then, tomorrow i'm going to buffalo to hang out with my family and celebrate my grandma's birthday and spend the night there.
my dad came last night and took edgar and i out to dinner. it was good - not nearly as weird as edgar was expecting. and we introduced ourselves to the owner - roxanne. so, now we REALLY are regulars.
now i have to go camp out at the community computer and do stupid bullshit.
but i'm exhausted. went out last night, had a few drinks, had a good time. too bad i only got like 4 hours of sleep :(
oh well, at least peter's driving today, so hopefully i'll get to sleep in the car. . .
nush - i'm glad it's the cards vs the red sox. there's nothing wrong with a little bit of friendly competition :) bring it on!
im in a great mood :)
cards won last night in a great game, today is devs bday, tonight im hanging out with ameya, tomorrow im going home...
the baseball rivalry begins tomorrow at 730.....
i swear a while ago i read about megan getting an article from eun, and i wrote to julie saying i couldnt go to macys cause i needed to get home in time for the game, and to rupa about ave q...and now all those have disappeared too...are the rest of you writing?? im confused...im emailing this to julie and rupa too just to see in case this one disappears also...
my test is the first weekend, so DEF DONT COME THEN ill be super sad if you guys are out friday and im miserable and stressed...
i have one more week of vaca to take in dec and will prob figure that out in the next few weeks...how about new years? jules and jackie have been thinking of staying here...and cause of that ive been thinking of staying (my other idea was to go to STL for new years cause dev will be there)...rupa?
dont be sad!!! we love you!!!
i don't follow baseball, that's how i can be in a bad mood. plus - i'm serious about this haven't seen sunshine thing! and i checked the weather - tomorrow afternoon, there is a chance of some sunshine. that is the ONLY sun expected in the next 10 days. i'm getting a serious case of seasonal depression and i'm getting it quick.
plus, i miss going out and having a life. i don't like dealing with a boyfriend i can't have over because my best friend doesn't like him. it's all giving me a big fat headache lately. like - gen promised me if i wanted to ditch this job and move to nyc right now, she'd still write me a good reference even though eun would be pissed at me.
i'm in a funk :( . . . and it's all because of this stupid weather! i really think i'll be visiting you guys in december - pre x-mas holiday. so, nush i know you have your test in early december and i know you guys book up early sooo - pick a weekend and i'll go by plane tickets. or tell me we are all going to fly to vegas for a weekend and i'll buy tickets there. but just pick the weekend and the location and i'll be there.
sorry nush, but i don't think we can make our dear old uncle david pay for such an extravagant expense. how about billy G? ;)
yea, those toys are ridiculous.
jackie and i are going to macy's after work today - she needs to buy a dress for her baby cousin's baptism (she's going to be the godmother). nush, you should come with us if you want to look for a coat there. i have some stupid anti-harrasment seminar i have to go to until 6:30, so we'll prob meet at macys around 6:45 or 7.
rupa, can we get that dessert on De Shaws expense account? you and julie can just split it on your cards...jules - think of how many free things youd get then!!! (if you do this and if im not invited i dont think ill talk to either of you again :)
im not going to the thing tonight - im gonna go home, study and watch the game...maybe go to the gym...and i really need to buy an in between coat for this weather...sweatshirts arent really kosher at my office and my winter coat is just too thick...jackie said she got a nice one from old navy for cheap so i may stop by there after work...
those toys are crazy!!!!!!!
you guys going to this?

F.A.O. Schwartz's website went up recently (as I'm sure Rupa knows), and here are links to two of the "toys" they're selling:
they also have more affordable toys, too. but still, this is crazy! who has that much money to spend on their kids!
meg - the dessert place rupa is talking about, serendipity, is the serendipity from the movie. i've never been there (and i don't think you have, either), but we may have tried to go there some time in the past. . .
yay for the red sox. that was SUCh an unbelievable game :) i talked to my sister last night who was out near fenway and taking part in all the craziness. i kinda want to be in boston to watch some of it.. i might go up for a game or two.. or at least go if there is a game 7 :)
i hope the cardinals win tonight. even though my heart is with the red sox.. :) i think the cardinals are such a good solid non-pretentious team.. they should at least get the pennant tonight!
i was listening to the radio this morning.. first i heard all the anti-redsox talk and then.. i heard about this new dessert at serendipity, which i think is a lil crazy. megan- serendipity, which you may have gone to during one of your trips, is this dessert place here that is famous for large really decadent gooey dessert. apparently they have a new sundae that is $1000.
yup. not a typo. one THOUSAND dollars (pinky at the side of my mouth and everything). apparently it's 5 scoops of ice cream.. all the regular goodies.. plus.. 24kt gold leaf covered edible chocolate... chocolate sauce from some special cocoa bean that only grows on 5 trees in the world... and fruit-flavored caviar (apparently they inject the fish eggs with passionfruit and orange liquer). oh.. and they let you take home the bowl that it's in.
isn't that ridiculo? it's good to see the economy is picking up and we're in this weird decadent era. $1000 for ice cream! that's a month's rent! or 10 pairs of expensive jeans.. or a laptop! craziness.
if cards make it to the world series, there is going to be chaos in your apartment! it'll be like rivalry!
it is still raining in rochester. it hasn't stopped raining this week. i haven't seen sunshine in days. it is starting to get to me. i almost bought a plane ticket last night for nyc to leave tomorrow and not come back until sunday night. i thought that might cheer me up . . .
but my dad is coming tonight to take me out to dinner (with edgar - first time there has been parent/edgar contact since *the night*) and it's my grandma's birthday so i'm going to buffalo on saturday . . .
i played with jessie last night, so that was a little better. and i slept a lot. i need to go to the gym and rock climbing and stare at bright lights and try not to let the fact that there is no longer sun in rochester bother me.
i wore red and have my cards visor on my desk :) gametime is 8 pm...
my cousin is luckily in ithaca all day today so he doesnt have to be subjected to another night of baseball, but he is catching on to the game, and surprisingly yesterday, i wanted to go out to dinner and he wanted to stay home and watch the game! i fell asleep when it was 8-1 in the 6th or 7th inning....it was great :) 8 hours of sleep....
hopefully next week we will be cheering for different teams :)
i can't believe they did it! i love the red sox :) i'm so ready for game 1 of the world series on saturday. anusha's poor cousin . . .he's going to think everyone here is obsessed with baseball! i can't wait to go to free wine tonight and celebrate.
i hope you ladies all have a wonderful morning :)
rupa if you want to stop by anyway, ill be at home watching the game
the astros scored in the first inning...
im going home now to put on my lucky stl hat :)
thats dev's nickname for me, but it helps - i came up with a solution to all the complicated stuff :)
too bad it pushes our hanging out back for another two weeks!!! maybe we can find time early next week?
that's too much planning.
but yeah.. november sounds like a better idea. i'd rather the games take priority. :)
or if today is too complicated with work/cards/sox/etc...you could just hang out with us on nov 5th when he gets back (which is also my last day of partying/socializing/talking to anyone before the exam...)
jules and rupa you both have to be around that night!
yeah i was going to watch the cards at home...i want to leave now :) it starts at 4 so should be done around 7 or 730? and the sox game starts at 8...
we could go to that place that you and moush always talk about? can you take out from there? i havent talked to my cousin yet, but he prob wont be too happy about staying in and watching baseball all night...so if you want you could come over, we could eat dinner, have a drink or two, and when you want to go home for the sox game, ill take my cousin out for a bit then come home? he is leaving at 5 am to go to ithaca tomorrow, so maybe a low key night will fly with him...
what time is the cardinals game supposed to be over? if we could meet between games, that would be awesome.. otherwise i'd rather come by and meet your cousin, hang out for a bit and watch the rest of the game at home. if anything it'll end at 12.. 1 and i didn't want tonight to be such a late night. such a change from last year.. i've gotten to be a big fan of the sports bar called my living room :) sushi sounds good though..are you gonna watch the cards game at home? maybe i'll come by and we can have sushi early at your place?
hi megan and jules :) sorry that was an anusha only message. :)
by the way.. "akbari" means "akbar-style" as in the style of ancient akbar food.. it's the same as "moglai"
entrees around 15-20...so not super expensive, but not a cheap place...
after all this no carb thing though, its totally worth it! when is it over? this weekend?
when dev heard you guys lost 7 lbs he was totally tempted to do it...so when he gets back we may start...i need someone to do it with, and you guys started when i was sick so i thought it was ok to pass on it :)
rups - thoughts for tonight?
nush, is it expensive? i haven't had indian food in a while - i miss it! maybe i'll go there after i'm done with the 'no carb' part of this diet. oh yea, and i have tons of work to do. i might not blog anymore till december. . .
what is that?? , am i supposed to know?
my mom had a ton of gulab jamon at home, but told me that since i dont see you often there was no reason for her to bring it to me for you - but if you give me some fair warning before you come next time ill make sure to have some for you in my apt :)
i went to Amma (on 51 and 3rd) during lunch to get Allen a gift certificate for his wedding reception. its my fav indian rest ever - and just walking in there reminded me that i def need to go back. i think dev and i are going to go there when he gets back from this world wind tour...
i took edgar out for indian food last night!
the first time he's ever tried it - and he was ready to hate it. we got chicken tikka masala and paneer akbari and naan. he LOVED it :) we were too full to get dessert but next time . . .
just thought i'd share with the brown girls how i'm spreading their culture to the ignorant masses of rochester :)
just to let you know.
although, between you guys and the people in the lab . . . i'm keeping up on all the baseball info without having to watch :)
courtney is a red sox fan, gen is a yankees fan . . . they both have the same picture from last night? as their backgrounds, only gen's makes the yankee look like he's in the midst of attacking and courtney's looks like the yankee is about to run.
i'm surrounded by freaks and i love you all :)
jules you are crazy - if all goes well, you will have to watch baseball all next week too!! so the normal life can begin after that...
rupa - i dont know if an early dinner will work :) my baseball priorities lie with the cardinals....and their game starts at 4...so after work i was thinking of going home to watch the rest of that and then meet up with you...so maybe we should scratch dinner and just watch the game (my poor cousin, baseball is driving him nuts, but i dont care, i want to watch the game tonight...)
im up for watching it at home with julie and jackie, if you want to just come over?
dude, i'm obsessed! i can't believe the red sox managed to force a game 7. just one more night, and hopefully i'll be able to go back to living a normal life :)
i just got to work. had a doctor's appt this morning. just a yearly checkup. she was really really nice. i love nice doctors :) i think i'm going to lunch soon. usually people get some work done before they take a lunch break, huh? oh well, it's all good.
tonight i'm going to the gym, then home to watch the game. nush and rupa - let me know what your final plans are, although i don't know if i'll be joining you. i'm trying to save some money for tomorrow and the rest of the weekend.
i left ekta a voice mail yesterday, and i sent both her and josh neubert an e-card. she emailed me back today thanking me for the card. it was nice hearing from her. isn't it great how you in relationships your memory starts to forget the bad stuff, and you just remember the good memories? i mean, sure she was a psycho roommate by the time senior year rolled around, but she's a sweet girl :)
yay!
hi all :) nush- sushi sounds good if we can eat early and then go watch the game somewhere.. i'd rather not do sports bar food :)
i finally have a window. yay!! we actually do have full time staff that moves us b/c people are moving so much. they were really nice :) they even unpacked for me.
nothing new here.. i ended up watching the game at home yesterday which was fun... work is.. guess what? busy. :) blah. i hope it gets better soon... i miss blogging all day! happy wednesday everyone :)
rups
if you click on your name then it tells you that you did graduate! you just have to figure out how to eliminate the course 7 thing...
have you found anything interesting?
according to the MIT directory, i have a "none" degree and am course 7!!! dude, i HOPE they call me for a donation! i'll be like hey kid. check your stats. what's my major and what's my degree? i will NOT give money until those are updated. as soon as this is done, call back and i'll give you a credit card donation or whatever bs is required to get you the free movie tickets that night.
so mad.
*shake fist*
i just read what i missed yesterday and i feel the need to stand up for myself!
we didn't kiss! well, a little tiny peck kiss. like, across the table! apparently when guys actually profess an interest and me and call me beautiful i'm suddenly modest and don't put out ;)
oh the memories.
does anyone know ekta's address? she sent me a card so i feel obligated to send her one so i went out and bought one and am ready to mail it but . . . i have no clue what her address is!
rupa: if you want to cancel to watch the game thats fine, or if you wanted to go to a sports bar type place for dinner thats fine too...let me know, im flexible...
i have such a headache....
my cousin and i went to verlaine last night from 8-11 or so, had lots of drinks cause their happy hour goes till 10, at 945 we just ordered like 5 drinks :) came home, watched the rest of the game with jules then went to bed....i need sleep!!
rupa - my cousin agreed to sushi for dinner :) where and when would you like to go?
you have to have time to think about it! if even i, the boring lame roommate, has time to think about it...you def should!
thats right, two moves from last time...well we can check and either way we can go to rickys maybe next week sometime before i leave/your mom comes in...
remember last time? you got your hat at some random second hand place, rickys was PACKED and empty... i think it was the last day
but the best was when megan kissed the DKE :) and cari changed clothes with the boy in the middle of the bar...
haha. yea, i can't believe you're already thinking of costumes!
i don't think you should be a hawaiian girl if they all just saw you wearing that in hawaii.
if i still have my cowboy stuff you can def borrow it, but i don't know if all that has survived 2 moves.
i think ricky's is probably the best idea. . .
i all of a sudden had a mountain of work loaded off on me, so i don't know when i'll be able to even think about halloween. . .argh
im gonna be in seattle for halloween and dev's friend is having a party...so i kinda want to figure out what i want to be before i leave (and i think being a butterfly wont fly for another year...)
one idea was to borrow jackies dress, wear my lai and be a hawaiin girl but that seems kind of lame (esp when some of those people just saw me two weeks ago in the same outfit)
the other idea was if you guys were going to do something else, i could borrow your cowboy outfits from last year...
and the last idea (which i kinda want to do anyway just to see what they have) is to go to rickys or whatever its called to see what the have....
any of that sound like a good idea? can you believe that even im thinking about halloween this year? and not grumbling and wishing it just passed?
it wouldnt be awesome - where the hell would they put it??? :)
im going home sat morn after the party friday night. i think ill take as early a bus as possible cause it doesnt really make sense to just sleep in when i can sleep on the bus. and ill come back sunday
my grandparents leave sunday :( i get so used to having them around - i dont know why they dont just move here for their sake i mean, i can understand that it would be a bit overwhelming for my mom and dad - they constantly say things like if we make unreasonable requests like that when we are old remind us that we shouldnt do that :) its pretty funny...
are you spending all weekend at home? this is the last weekend your grandparents are here, right? sad.
i think my aunt is coming with my mom, too, so i'm excited :) my aunt is crazy - she's like my sister.
yea, i finally got a confirmation email from fresh direct. we spent $27 on chicken! i didn't realize it when we were ordering it. they'd better bring us a whole lot of chicken. . .
we should remind jackie to give the maintenance guy a call so they can fix our fridge. wouldn't it be cool if they decided to just buy us a new, bigger fridge?? that's obvioulsy never going to happen, but i can dream. . .
do you get to hire temps or people to pack and move your stuff for you?? maybe you should hire someone permanent to do that since you move offices so often!!
sorry.. i've been busy all day. glad to see that thigns are good today.. i am moving offices tonight. i get a window again. woo hoo!!!
blah.. more tomorrow.... bye bye
those are the exact dates of my trip to seattle...sad!
i went on to freshdirect and it showed that your order would be delivered from 8-10 tonight, so hopefully even though they didnt send you a confirmation thing it should be ok...
im going home on sat so ill just bring back my groceries from there since getting 70 bucks of stuff on my own is nearly impossible
megan - what are you talking about??
yea, it's really gross out. that's why ordering in is a good idea on days like this :) i just had yummy (and spicy) shrimp thai soup and chicken skewers.
nush, the deadline to change the fresh direct order was yesterday at midnight. it's weird, though, i thought they were supposed to send me another email confirmation today. . .
my mom's here the weekend of halloween, thurs oct 28 - mon nov 1st.
its gross out, i just met my cousin for lunch. we had ABP it was so good and soup was so comforting, but then the 10 min walk back was not comforting at all and now im cold again...
so, there is a room with hoods across from my desk. it's a designated mouse room, so i never work in there. in fact, only guys work in there because somehow the lab is divided that boys work with mice and girls work with human. so, this kid matt (who i share my cubbie area with) listens to the most random music! he's like that quiet science dork who listens to ghetto rap. today it's metallica so it's making me super happy :)
meghan's birthday is around now too! i think today . . . or the day after joshie's? somewhere soon :)
but since its not, i have to look at it all day today until this blog is archived. thanks julie :)
my cousin is going to ithaca all day thurs, wont be back till midnight, so im using that as my one day of actually studying...so hopefully the sox will finish this game off in 3 or so hours so you can come out wed night :) if not, he will be here the first weekend of november...so try to keep that friday free! i def want to take him out, and after that weekend im going to be on social lockdown until the exam...so friday nov 5 you guys should all plan to go out with us!
jules, when is your mom here again? i forgot to do the freshdirect thing...its prob too late now right?
tomorrow is oct 20th.
oct 20th is josh neubert and ekta's birthday.
do with this info what you will :)
i'm just going to watch it at home. i can't really eat or drink anything, so i'd rather watch it at home. also, i want to go to the gym first, so i wouldn't have time to go to the gym and then make it to a bar on time. if they make it to game 7, though, i might want to watch it somewhere.
the only plan i have for wed night is my 2 gym classes, so i might be able to meet up with you guys later if you're out. it all depends on how much sleep i get tonight, though. if tonight's game is anything like the last two, i'm probably not going to be up for going out tomorrow night.
evelyn's girlfriend, deanna, is going to be in town this week for work. jackie and i are going to take her out on thurs night - we're going to free wine. if you and your cousin are up for cheap wine and chinese food, you guys should come! rups - you should come, too! megan - hop on a plane and we'll see you here :)
are you going to watch it at home? or are you thinking of going out to watch it?
rupa said she was free tomorrow night to go out for a bit with my cousin...do you have plans?
im soooo tired. my cousin came in last night, i basically have to swear off studying and sleeping all week cause of this...dev and i went to port authority, picked him up, came home, had a few drinks, some chinese food, and just hung out till like 1 am. it was fun to see dev hanging out with my fav cousin :) then dev had to leave at 5 am to catch his flight for this 3 week excurtion out of ny....i need sleep...
how can you think of gilmore girls when game 6 of the red sox/yankees game is on tonight??? ahh - this whole rivalry makes me re-live the good old college days. and i don't even like baseball! :)
i'm tired today. i slept horribly, and the weather outside is so gross! at least our weekly dept-wide meeting was cancelled, so now i can sit at my desk all morning and try to put a dent in the growing pile of work i have to do. blah . . .
i'm at work. but i walked from my car and hit up dunkin donuts (yum)
i'm wearing rainbow toe socks - two different rainbows, don't worry. courtney always notices my socks (like, within the first week of me working here she was like do you always mismatch your socks?)
tonight, i want to watch gilmore girls and go rock climbing. i think there is going to have to be a vcr involved. i didn't get to go rock climbing last night because i didn't leave the lab until 7 last night (yeah, here from 8am to 7 pm!)
now i'm just mumbling to waste time until i finish my bagel and have to go downstairs . . .
carlos is not carlitos :) carlos is big carlos, the tall puerto rican? carlitos is carlos dorta? or something like that.
i don't know what jaime is up to. i haven't talked to her since . . . a year ago? she was still in mass, but was planning on moving to florida. she was a bridesmaid in this girl we graduated wedding - it was very weird.
tomorrow - i will be coming to work. hopefully just in the morning though . . we shall see. its 6 and i'm still here!
and i just realized i needed to drop pee off an hour ago and i didn't!!! crap!
seems random to have a work party on a random monday night...
our xmas party has been confirmed - im really glad its the week after the CFA cause it tends to be a rowdy event and if i couldnt go for studying i would have been disappointed.
and this friday my boss is having his wedding reception - i was kinda bummed out cause dev couldnt go, julie is out of town, rupa and toral both said they would get back to me, but ameya just said he would go! i cant wait now :) its been sooo long since Ive seen him, and im missing his halloween party cause ill be in seattle (shh dont tell him yet...ill tell him that after he comes to my party on friday :))
i think ill head home soon...
megan are you off tomorrow? is this every other day thing for a long time?
we have a company 'party' now. it's not really a party. we get appetizers and drinks, then we all get to hear david tell us how great the company is doing.
enjoy the rest of your days :)
or a different carlos?
my cousin gets in at 830 now :) i dont know how im supposed to get any work done this week....
jules - gabe slept on the couch right? i think my cousin will sleep on it all week...or maybe ill sleep with you and he can sleep in my bed...we shall see...
i heard he's engaged! gabe told me that the other day. i don't remember to who (whom?), though. megan - whatever happened to jaime?
courtney is convinced it's because he's condescending. i think its because he's seriously socially awkward - especially with women - and he's trying to make friends. maybe i'm more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because i spent 4 years with the most socially awkward boys on the planet . . . this kid is NOTHING compared to a carlos agrilados :)
i just got back from lunch and it took like 10 tries for it to even load...
so the follow up on the jail thing for the wallet - he is in jail for 2 years and they are giving us two months free service to compensate for all the money dev lost in his wallet and for all the headache :) i suggested to julie and jackie that we should pass the free months on to dev since he is the one that lost all the money and just pay him instead of time warner...
i posted a message a couple of minutes ago and it has yet to appear!
and it took forever to say it had posted it!
man, this computer pisses me off . . .
the nurse still isn't back from the other hospital with my samples for today! and i just finished making/updating the excel spread sheet . . .
this is a problem because it means i can't start my work for the day! i guess i could set up the antibodies . . . yeah, that makes sense. although i can just as easily do that during the half an hour break . . .
damnit, why isn't she back yet?!

it kept giving me error messages so i kept hitting publish!
yeah yon will be pissed...but who cares :)
its only 200 from jfk :) its def worth an annual visit....
wow i cant believe im talking like this...
im off to have lunch with dev.
he'll be pissed at me when he's lived there for years and i haven't flown out to visit him - and the second nush move out there, i buy plane tickets :)
no, he's not in nine queens. he's in the american version . . .
it's called criminal with john c. reilly! (i just looked it up)
i love the internet.
ok, so there is this guy in my lab . . . who either thinks i'm really dumb (entirely possible) or i think he likes me (well, entirely possible 'cause let's face it - i'm hot ;) ) he is always questioning my methods. but in wicked stupid ways - like, how long do you wait to run your samples on the lsr? (i know that made no sense, but work with me) ok, he's one of the people in charge of the lsr . . . but if you look at the sign up list, i'm on that machine every other day! so, i don't know whether he is finding a stupid excuse to talk to me, or if he thinks i'm an idiot and the reason that eun is having problems with her dyes is 'cause i wait too long to run my samples. i don't know, he's just weird. and his questions are *friendly* - he doesn't say like hey, how was your weekend. it's like awkward pause. so, um, how long do you wait to run your samples? i don't, it's just weird. i can't figure out whether he's being an ass, helpful, or awkwardly attempting to be nice.
i emailed josh to tell him im going there next weekend...decided yon wouldnt care :)

whoa, nush. . . you can be yon's neighbor!! that is scary, but good that you feel like you guys are ready to take such an important step :)
neither of the guys from y tu mama tambien is in nine queens. i didn't recognize any of the actors as people i should know, but i could be wrong.
one of the guys from y tu mama tambien, gael garcia, is in a new movie - the motorcycle diaries, i think, or something like that. it's supposed to be good. it's in the theaters now - i really wanna see it. i like gael garcia - he's a cutie :) the other guy from y tu mama tambien, diego luna, was in dirty dancing, havana nights. i caught a piece on tv about the two of them the other day. it's funny cause they're both the most famous mexican actors right now, and they're best friends. after y tu mama tambien, gael garcia (my fav of the two, although i'd take either!) has taken more artsy, independent roles (like el crimen del padre amaro, where he's a priest who gets a young girl pregnant); whereas diego luna has taken on more mainstream american films (he's working on another movie now, can't remember which on).
ok, i guess this is enough useless info for all of you. i'm guessing megan might be the only one who might be slightly interested ;)
as for nine queens, i didn't know that there was an american version of it too.
subtitles don't bother me at all. i just like movies :)
horrible movie, that sashank recommended, and rupa left her glasses in the car...
so you and julie played different voices and read to her for about 20 min then we all gave up!
my group is silly, we have meetings every mon and tues at 9 am...
my favorite cousin from india is coming tonight :) he gets in at 1030 or so from boston. im not sure how im suppsoed to study while im supposed to entertain him...but we shall see...
im going to seattle next weekend. im taking friday off and going thurs - monday morning. im pretty excited, but also kinda scared...i think ill be going there next summer for good....scary right...
i've heard of it. a movie that is out right now with the ugly guy that always plays the dumb sidekick and . .. i think . . . one of the guys from y tu mama tambien? no. some hispanic dude that was in a movie i saw. crap, what's the name of it?!?! anyway, that movie is based on nine queens - the reviewer of the american remake said it's fine, but if you've already seen nine queens don't bother. and if you don't mind subtitles, just see nine queens.
my take on subtitles - i watched city of gods, bella epoque (spelling?), and various other subtitled movies and barely even noticed. i TRIED to watch passions of christ and could NOT get into it - partially because of the subtitles. i think the moral of the story is it needs to interest me in order for me to read the subtitles. and didn't we watch a subtitled movie tha sashank recommended that we had to read to nush? and we started doing it in voices?
thank you julie for responding to me :)
i was typing, dammit! and do you think i just stare at the blog and wait for you to respond???
complain all you want about me not being around but just remember - i'm here now! where are you?!
i should be making an excel spreadsheet and consolidating all of my data. i'm not, i'm playing online. and it would be easier if someone responded!!
it's monday morning - i'm sure your bosses don't expect you to be productive! hells, rupa IS her own boss! she should stop expecting too much :)
but no, peter's not our favorite just because he lives closer. jackie and i are on his side because we think the other guys dicked him over. i like the other guys, though, and i still hang out with them when i go home. but if it comes down to choosing between them and peter, i'd definitely stick with peter.
jackie and este do have constant romantic issues. right now they're on their "we're not speaking to each other" phase, which is another reason why it would be soo much better to be able to avoid them in nc. este called jackie a couple of months ago and left her a really mean drunken message, basically professing his love for her (yet again) and yelling at her for leading him on. at the end of the message, he was like "if you think nothing's ever going to happen between us, if you have no feelings for me whatsoever, tell me to stop calling you and i will." even though jackie's refused to tell him that on several other occasions, she was pissed after she listened to his angry message, so she sent him a text message telling him not to ever call her again. they haven't spoken since.
drama, drama.
i saw girl with a pearl earring this weekend. it was really good! i also saw an argentinian movie that my dad got through netflix and my bro brought with him. it's called nine queens. megan, if you don't mind subtitles, i recommend it. we all really liked it :)
so megan - do you like your job? this alternate workday thing sounds pretty good.
jackie and i have been doing the south beach diet for 1 week now. so far, so good. . .
is peter our new favorite because he lives near nyc now? i thought we liked este . . . and don't este and jackie have like constant romantic issues? or is that sooo last year? i have a good feeling about everything. worse case - one girl man each group of guys and entertain them with witty banter. they'll forget to fight :)
i had a boring/good weekend. i saw starsky and hutch! yeah, it was pretty silly . . . i went rock climbing yesterday - but only for a little. BUT! i got to the top of a wall i previously couldn't - in fact, had to climb it twice to get to the top yesterday. it juts out at the top so it scares me a lot.
now, my subjects who i've been playing with their blood have moved out of hospital yesterday - so they need to come in to have their blood drawn. which means its going to be happening all day instead of in the morning. so, i'm going to be here until 6 or 7. which doesn't include analysis - which i'm putting off until tomorrow.
and that is all. got now. keep blogging for the next half an hour 'cause i'm just going to be sitting at my desk!!!
hi ladies - i had a good weekend, too. i had fun with my bro and his girlfriend all weekend. we went to the red sox bar last night, riviera, and watched the game there. it was so much fun! a couple of tables around us were yankees fans, so it was fun teasing each other and stuff all game. it was even better that we won it in the end :) whoa - now that i think about it, we sat at that bar for over 7 hours yesterday! sad, huh? now i'm sleepy and i got my period this morning. . .
regardless of how the redsox do today (or the rest of the week, if it comes to that), at least i have north carolina this weekend to look forward to! jackie, peter, and i are driving down for the miami / nc state football game. we're staying with evelyn, and jessie aleman is flying up from miami and meeting us there, too. there might be a little bit of drama, though, cause peter got in a fight with the rest of the guys we went to school with (este, mario, gaby, george), and i found out that they're going to the nc state game, too. and i can't imagine the UM section at the stadium being very big, so there's definitely a chance that we'll run into them. i just hope they don't get drunk and start stupid shit. . .
