I think we are 60 year old ladies...
...trapped in 26 year old bodies. We can't have fun out on the town on a Saturday night, but my patio on a Tuesday afternoon drinking white wine spritzers is a hoot.

Bringing Metallurgy to the Masses
Tonight's Law and Order: SVU rerun on USA featured what they called a forensic metallurgist. Now I am always in favor of promoting public exposure to metallurgy and what metallurgists do, but did they have to cast the dorkiest, stereotypical little bald man for the role. How about a hot young 26 year old female metallurgist?

Hi-larious
Chris Daughtry and Live (just absurd) Pickler and Puck (really, nobody could be that stupid) McFee ond Meatloaf (waaay past his prime) Simon Cowell rubbing his temples and muttering "stop it, stop it" Clay Aiken suprising his doofy fan onstage, moreover, that doofy kept singing, instead of bowing out gracefully And then...Prince! Holla! I don't care that American Idol has become a farce of itself, I still love it. It does however disgust me that more people vote for American Idol than for the President, but someone else can write about that. (Yay Taylor!)

Such an Exciting Life
I am finally all set in my apartment, except for the hanging of my picture frames, and I decided it might be time to switch things up a bit. I have been looking through pics on my computer, and I came across this:

Only Three More Months...
Thank God I decided to go the grad school. Working sucks. I have done the most tedious thing, over and over for the past two days (today I worked from 7 am to 5:30 pm). I can't really say anything about what I am doing, because we sign confidentiality agreements, but I can say that I am doing flotation, wearing steel toed boots, carharts and a hard hat, and coming home filthy. It's not that this isn't the kind of work I want to be doing, but school is so much better. I am sooo tired at night, and I am totally missing the beautiful weather we are having right now. Plus EVERYONE I work with smokes all day long, and I have to smell that awful smell until I am nauseous. Hopefully this project won't last all summer, and I'll get to do some more interesting things. I find I am having a really hard time relaxing, I am so used to having something (homework, studying, an exam) hanging over my head. I feel really jittery, and I can't sit still long enough to watch a whole 1/2 hour TV show. Hopefully I'll get over that soon. In better news, I am finally loving my new apartment, I am waiting for one more new piece of furniture to arrive mid June, and I'll be all moved in. I love the way I feel here, and I am really looking forward to the weekend. Finally, I am glad Chris got the boot, he was terribly overrated and had no range. I hope Taylor wins. And OMG Grey's Anatomy Last night I was seriously freaking out and bawling in my living room. I can't even wait six months for new episodes.

Maybe not so lazy afterall
I gave my kitchen a makeover and painted one of my ratty old bookshelves. And watched 45 reruns of Law and Order. Good Sunday.

Lazy Sunday
And I mean LAZY. I got out of bed just to lay in front of the TV. For hours. I did paint my cabinets, I mean re-paint, last night I painted them a really beautiful blue, but it just didn't look right. I don't want to leave them white, I am thinking the same yellow as the living room. We'll see, if it doesn't look good I can always paint them back to white. Other than that I am being held hostage by my dog. Murphy was on vacation at my folk's house and came home yesterday. He isn't used to the new place yet, and if I leave he'll bark up a storm every time someone walks by, which is often. Hopefully he'll get used to it by next Monday, when I start my new job.

2-5 business Days

Dear Frannie...
Dear Frannie, As I keep telling you, my digital camera bit the bag. As I hate posting without pictures I have postponed updating until the new camera arrives, which will be in 2-5 business days. Yes I have a lot to catch you up on, including but not limited to: Graduation 5/12/06 (Yes, I am finally graduating) My fantastic new apartment My excellent new job A rather anticlimactic foot surgery (at least the cast is off!) and finally The complete mind-fuck that I have been a party to this last week perpetrated by my lame ex-boyfriend. So please stop reminding me that I have to update. I will. Oh, I guess I just did.
