lab work
I am in the lab this afternoon...again. Doing the same project that I have been for weeks now. I will be soooo happy when all of this water is removed from my sample. At least I get brownie points for being here and working AND I get to spend 95% of the time surfing the internet. I guess its alirght :)
All I have to say and thank goodness for Google Reader. All my beautiful design blogs are keeping me entertained while ice evaporates.
Yesterday was a super productive day. In the morning my boyfriend made me some delicous french toast, which always puts the day on the right foot..then my substitute landlord called about the door issue and he said he was coming over...so we did a super fast clean sweep of the place and because I have been working on "the cure" it was easy to do. Substitute landlord got the door knob working and so that was great. Boyfriend left to go do laundry...I did laundry at my apartment for the first time in forever. Normally I take it to my parents house, they feed me while I do laundry and I dont have to worry about getting in anyones way....but due to extreme temperatures lately the drain was frozen on their machine...so my dearest mother came and did laundry with me. It was nice. I got a BUNCH done and got all caught up on the dishes...made some alright coookies...and then my Mom left, shortly after my boyfriend came back with the tools he needed to fix the door jam and we watched House for the rest of the evening. It was a great day.

macho man
1. I went to the gym today and it was glorious.
2. Its still -40 outside.
3. I bought myself Little Big World, I missed it after it was returned to Blockbuster the other day.
4. My door knob froze/broke...and after hours of trying to get help from my landlord, and local locksmiths then my boyfriend finally took matters into his own hands, well feet...he kicked my door in! I have never seen such a thing before. It was pretty impressive. Talk about an act of manly behavior.
5. My landlord went out of town for months now and never told me.
6. Our dinner was nachos. It was delicious.
7. We are getting ready to head over to a friends house and they are going to watch "Slednecks 11". In case you haven't had the privilege of catching any of the 1st 10 I will catch you up...snowmachines, going fast and bad rock music. There, you are all caught up. Though if I go tonight my boyfriend said he would watch "Black Sheep" with me...and folks I am not talkin' the Chris Farley comedy..straight up zombie sheep. Sooooooooo in light of this offer I am going. I am also going to take my scarf that I have been working on knitting for a few weeks now. I figure good progress should be made.

I wonder...
On the list that I gave my dearest wonderful boyfriend AFTER Christmas...I wrote I wanted a locket. Now I need to say straight up that my super amazing Canon Rebel camera was waaaay more generous than I was expecting. I am much happier with my camera than I would be with a locket....but I still kinda want one.
So today I was doing my daily browsing of Etsy and I found this.
It even happens to match my current outfit. It may be a sign that I should buy it for myself.

blah. all out of cheese.
I am watching MTV's The City and I think everyone in New York must wear strange hats...which both disturbs and intrigues me.
Could I pull it off?
Someone has an appointment for a hair cut tomorrow...that someone could be me! I want something cute and flirty but with a definite style. Its a very blah length right now.
And now for something completely unrelated...*ahem* Artisans crafting Barack Obama soaps. Please don't. I can't decide if you really like him or really don't. If I ever become famous enough for people to even think to make a soap that resembles me, I will find them and tell them to stop. I don't want my face shoved where only the good Lord knows and cleaning the dirty bits of some obscenely hairy individual. No thank you. I am pretty sure that the President elect agrees with me on this one.
That is all.

Luigi
So this has to be one of the most ridiculously awesome things on the internet.
'Luigi works in the tower operating the new aerial tram on the hill. He's also in a polka/folk/rap band called "Kielbasa".' Man, I am just giggling away. This is great.
Makool Loves You
31 more days
31 days until my birthday.
I dunno...I am ridiculously excited about it this year...which is never a particularly good way to start out.
In honor of the cold spell that seems to be ruining my life I would like to talk about my love for sweaters, big, cozy sweaters. You know the kind, the ones that are like being a functional adult in a blanket....like this one by Anthropologie

Little Planet Big World
I have never been one to become obsessed with a video game..but there is something about Little Planet Big World that is pretty much the greatest thing ever.
The pipes are frozen, so I am back at home today and its nice to know that when I get bored cleaning I will have a little sack man waiting for me. Yes. My own sack man, every girls dream come true.
My boyfriend said that if he were to design a video game that tried to match what goes on inside my head...this would be the game. I have to agree...there is a whole level about meerkats.

2009
Last night my boyfriend and I went to a fun new years party...it was nice to get out of the house. Though I slept in waaay too late and my goal of starting the year with a clean apartment was an utter failure.
I wish I had this bed to crawl into tonight.
