carlos, jaime, and tomorrow

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!

parties

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?

leaving soon

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 :)

carlitos?

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...

carlos

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?

james the weird

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 :)

whoa

so much to read! scrolling now :) just some more in a second :)

yeah its being weird today....

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...

my turn to say sorry :)

that's it.
i give up.

blogger doesn't like me!

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 . . .

MY BLOOODS NOT HERE YET!

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?!

WHY ISN'T MY BLOOD HERE YET?!

sorry about the josh thing...

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.

yon

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 :)

more on movies

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.

josh juster

i emailed josh to tell him im going there next weekend...decided yon wouldnt care :)

what can i be for halloween??? there is a party there sat night that we are going to...

seattle

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 :)

y tu mama tambien

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 :)

read to rupa :)

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!

meetings

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 love julie!

she's so great and wonderful :)
i would NEVER yell at her :)

nine queens

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 :)

don't yell at me!

i was typing, dammit! and do you think i just stare at the blog and wait for you to respond???

fine. be that way.

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 :)

yes, boys ARE girls

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. . .

boys are such girls

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!!!

me too :)

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. . .

goodmorning :)

im in a good mood this morning :) i had a fun weekend. got sufficient studying in, went out sat night - which i havent done in NY in a reallly long time. and sun had brunch with toral, then watched the red sox game with dev and his friends...

it was nice...
