Alkanes & ketones & halides....OH MY!

Spent the last 48 hours cramming for my organic chemistry test tomorrow. Oy.

Would ya like a weekend recap?? Here ya go:

I'll start with Thursday: booked outta work as fast as I could to go meet up with Treble. Sorry I was calling/texting the wrong Rob all day!! OMG.
Head into the city to pregame @ the Molly Wee before Corey's show. Show was FABULOUS. Afterwards head BACK to the Molly Wee for some post-game/pre-St. Pat's drinks. Got my fair share of pinches after midnite for not wearing green...bad Irish girl. :-P Y'all know I didn't just to get the pinches, right? Ha!

Friday had dinner with Mom & Corey. Corned beef @ MBG is always a good way to start St. Patty's day.
After a short nappy at my house, Corey and I called a cab (which took FOREVER) & headed to PR to meet up with Bethany & P&C (we'll use Beth's nickname). Shots & beer were flowing in true St. Patty's day style. AWESOME time had by all!!

Saturday hung out at Kelly's and just relaxed. Much needed R&R.

Sunday, Corey & I took a drive to see one of his job sites. It was pretty neat to actually SEE what he does IRL.

We watched some b-ball at my place and I hit the books after he left. I haven't stopped since. Ugh.. I can't wait for tomorrow to be over. I want to get this test over & done with. Unfortunately, I can't forget it once I'm done. Effing cumulative final.

My back hurts, my head hurts. I'm going to bed.

The Archdiocese of NY says its okay to eat meat this Friday since its St. Patrick's day.
I've got a secret...I was going to anyway.

I'm late....

with this meme.

Ordinary Joe tagged me with these meme on March 2nd and since I've been a little behind on my blog-reading, I'm doing it now. So...here goes:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1) Say Goodbye - Dave Matthews Band
2) Song 4 You - Ben Lee
3) Alone - Lisa Loeb
4) She Don't Come Around Here Anymore - Bill Ricchini
5) Brooklyn Stars - Matt Pond PA
6) Something Pretty - Patrick Park
7) Idioteque - Radiohead

Now I'm tagging:

1) Corey
2) Bethany
3) Ryan
4) Kelly
5) Michelle
6) Scott
7) the MLE (happy birthday early)

....you're it.

I'll have to buy my oreos on the black market now

Interesting article in last week's New York Magazine:

Stop & Shop launched a program called SmartMouth that used their loyalty cards to create nutritional profiles for their patrons. The problem? They were in contract talks with a few HMO's to make use of the data the collected. So the person who has a penchant for salt & vinegar potato chips (me) and heavy cream may pay a higher premium than the chick online if front of them buying the soy milk & organic broccoli. All just because they swiped their card to get a lousy 50 cents off! They discontinued the program shortly after its inception.

Whats next? My car insurance premium is going to go up cause my EZPass tells Allstate I drive over the TZ twice a week and the GW at least once?

some late night rambling

They need to invent some sort of computer chip type device that can be implanted into women's brains that would shut down all parts that are not necessary for essential life functions. That way, at certain times I would be able to shut down my ability to think. I shouldn't think - its bad for my health. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. G'nite.


ps - it would also prevent me from coming on to Blogger at 12:30 am and posting.
