and I will borrow this from my beloved ex-roommate

who borrowed it from ani -
we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me

***

the countdown continues
the unemployment figures are up
college graduates can’t get any job having anything to do with their degrees – french fries with that?
gas prices soar
terror alerts are on “high” – but americans won’t let that change their ways of life, because that would be letting the terrorist “win” (yeah, because really, they care if you go eat a cheeseburger and have a beer or take that weekend trip to the lake)
the stock market rose the day after a war announcement – but appears to be settling back down…

what does all this mean? I really have no idea…except that I still have this niggling little suspicious feeling at the back of my mind that all of this is a covert operation to cover up something much more insidious…

all right

what’s left?

heh

rhodopsin, oncogenes/oncoproteins, ES cells and transgenic eukaryotes

I can do this…
but my brain is all wrinkled and ouchy

currently

I am studying for my biochemistry exam.
really, I am!

of course, this is a study break. You know…where you stop studying for 45 minutes or so, and surf Xanga, check your email, scratch, pick, sniff, make a run to the bathroom and do anything other than go back to studying for biochemistry.

who really wants to know six ways to identify protein-protein interactions? not me! who cares about any of this! I want to go out. I want sunshine and mmm…cool breezes, not hot and stuffy lab time

*thhhhp*

on a happier note, my mother has promised to watch my heathens when I head to Boston for my spring break. I am excited for spring break, even though my friend has just become single again (and isn’t loving it). Mayhap we’ll head to the bars and see if we can get 26 guys to chant her name (again).

On my list of stuff to do in Boston:
      – visit aquarium
      – Cheers!
      – go to an infamous piano bar that my friend frequents (two+ times a week)
      – eat clam chowder (both the red and the white)

anything else I should do in Boston? I really find that I don’t know much about that area…guess I can cruise the MIT and Harvard scene and check out the hotties that reside there

beautiful weather
beautiful weekend
beautiful hair

all combine to make me feel very damn beautiful

and still in a rather obscenely good mood…

Song: Wild Horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
And now you’ve decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

I know I’ve dreamed you, it’s a sin, it’s a lie
And I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
So let’s do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses we’ll ride them someday

well now, that one is boots, she’s sitting in front of the register…she’d cold…

and i’m sure, to the casual observer, that you’re thinking…boots/possum look an awful lot alike….but no, really they’re not! I swear ask anyone! they can tell the difference

more proof that the government really is run by morons

and it’s … kitty #1

yes, yes that beautimus specimen is none other than the infamous Possum…why such a name?

heh, well, now, when she was a kitten, she was NOT beautimus, rather, she had long fluffy coarse whitesh gray fur that looked exactly like an opossum…

so
she became Possum
unfortunately, her fur fell out and grew back in as a much more typical, svelte, delicate silver tabby lady pattern…of which she is very vain and spends many excessive hours licking and LICKING AND LICKING (she is a little bit obsessive compulsive)…

bless her heart though…it is just a good thing she is so pretty, for she is dumber than a big old box of rocks.

sometime later this week, kitty #2 Boots will reach my profile…

so

Slept. Ahhh…felt so good. Brain finally decide…fuck this and if the creepy girl decides to kill me – then so be it.

so

good quality sleep.

two functional experiments that yielded the results I wanted.

my obscenely good mood is getting even better! I’m leaving work early and going…to TARGET!

heh

of course, I have oodles of homework to do…but somehow, I don’t really give a damn right now

I’m going to stroll home in the sunshine and smile and be happy because…hell yeah, I’m in a good mood, it’s 45 degrees out and there really is sunshine…

mmmmm
impending springtime

oh! and I am defrosting a mightily delicious apple-almond stuffed porkchop for my dinner…

and I got a $100 fine dropped at the library…by admitting to my moronitude (yes, I can’t even claim to have been acting, I really was a moron!)

so…
here I come sunshine, and Target, and porkchop and oodles of homework

you better be prepared for me! I’m squirrely as hell…
