I can march IN my penguins, now!

Could a shoe BE more Maggie?

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.

Where's the beef?

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.

In my line of work, when someone dies, we say they went to "Chicago."
Hmph.
Makes me chuckle.

1) Say Goodbye - Dave Matthews Band
2) Song 4 You - Ben Lee
3) Alone - Lisa Loeb

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.

Its Oscar time!

sharing part of my fifteen minutes

Check out the new website of my friend, photographer Steve Giralt. It just launched yesterday. I'm on the site - click on "People" then "Craigs List" (long story) and look for me!!

Meet my new friend: Insanity Prawn Boy



















THAT'S RIGHT!

To be 15 again...

My 15-year-old niece posted this on her myspace profile. I loved it - its so true. I just wanted to share:

I would like to meet a boy; a cute one. who will call me at 3am, just to tell me he was thinking about me. and he'll buy me jewlery from vending machines. we'll make fun of eachother, and laugh about it, bc we both know its true. we'll watch movies together at 3am, and dance to spice girls and backstreet boys. We'll be stupid around eachother & it'll never end.

Your Mom's Box

If I see or hear that phrase one more time I swear I'm going to lose it.
I'm sick & tired of Opie & Anthony poisoning the minds of my male friends.
EVERY single time I read one friend's email or post there it is...at leasts once: Your Mom's Box.
Not only that, but I'm sick at the crude humor and sexual innuendo he insists on putting into every writing. Pussy, dick, tit, fuck....its there....at least once or twice. Can't you write a message WITHOUT those terms? Do you think it increases your cool-ness factor? It does not. It makes you look like a douche bag. And to think, he asks me if I have any single friends? Get over yourself. I would never subject any of my friends to that behavior. O&A make men aggressive & give them God complexes.
Sure I've chuckled at a skit or stunt a time or two (back when they were on normal radio) but I've also almost vomited at the crap they insist on talking about. I don't care how many women Jim Norton's gotten to piss on him. I don't care to hear about sniffing someone else's belly button cheese and I don't care to listen to one more stupid women call in and discuss their breast size and whether or not the curtains match the carpet.
So I did the smart thing - I don't have XM radio. Besides, paying for radio seems just plain silly to me (but thats another rant for another time).

psht

After reading several other blogs, some friends, some acquaintances, some just random, I have decided that I don't blog nearly enough.

I'm no ski bunny

So, I'm back from West Virginia where I learned one important thing: I CANNOT SKI.
I made a noble effort, though. I just can't do it.
It was a fun weekend despite my sore tushy.
It was absolutely BE-A-UTIFUL down there. Corey drove me around to show me Blackwater Falls, Seneca Rocks and even attempted to get to the highest point in WV, Spruce Knob.
It was a nice little vacay that I definitely needed.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Yay!! One of my favorite holidays and this year, I have a feeling it'll be better than ever before (no pressure).
I at least hope to make it better than last year's for you.

Who pods? IPOD!!

Ordered my new toy this weekend from Amazon.
Now if the focker would only ship, dammit!!
Thought I might have it for this weekend, but alas I won't.
I have to be patient...but if you know me, one thing I'm not is patient.

Rodenticide anyone?

Phil must die.
That focker saw his shadow and now I'm doomed to freeze my ass off for 6 more weeks.
WTF?
Give me the warmth of spring.
I need it. I'm sick of feeling like I have Raynaud's.

Johnny was a chemist's son,
but Johnny is no more.
What Johnny thought was H2O,
was H2SO4.

HA!!

(if you don't get it - email me)

I've been lacking with updates - my apologies. Believe me - I've caught shit for it.
This week was a bit insane, but fun. I'm exhausted from it. I've said it before, you all know me: I L-O-V-E buring the candle at both ends.
Class started on Monday. I was very excited to learn that my pal Brooke is in my Organic Chem class. Instant lab partner - sweet! I was then notsomuch excited when I saw how much the books were. $400. Gulp.
Tuesday, Elena & I saw Yellowcard at Irving Plaza. They rocked our socks off. Awesome. It was a fun night. We did beer @ McManus first, dinner @ Heartland Brewery second and then rocked out at IP. I had too much fun text messaging the big-screen thing that they have down between acts. Mags & Lena do rock, dammit!!
Wednesday was more school & then the usual Karaoke @ the OL. Sang our usual I Love Rock & Roll. We were way off, though. I don't know what was wrong with us that night. I sang Spiderwebs alone and it was better. I was quite upset I didn't get to go to trivia @ Hooter's. For some strange reason, I thought Paul & Mike were upset with me since I bailed kinda early the previous week. They didn't call me to tell me what time to be @ Hooter's, so I was a sad girl.
Thursday. Hmph. Thursday. Was woken up at 6:30 to learn that my coworker had called out so I would need to go to our Nyack office to cover her. I was pissed. I hate going there. Especially when I have LOADS of my own work to do in New City. So I sucked it up and went in early. Thursday night I drove out to Danbury to meet an old friend. Then I got a txt from Paul & Mike saying they missed chillin' with me. :) Awwww..... So the usual trivia crew will be 2gether again next week for karaoke! Yay!!
Thursday night I was abosolutely exhausted. I didn't get home until almost two and I thought I was going to pass out. Got up for work Friday morning & felt much better and some how relieved.
Last night (friday) I went with Kelly & Bethany to see Lisa Loeb @ the Canal Room downtown. It was AWESOME. After that, it was to, where else, but the OL. Hey, its my Cheers.
So, I am quite tired today. I plan on doing absolutely NOTHING.
Well...maybe laundry....and go to the mall.....
