Slow work week, but a pleasant Me Week

I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well

First off, labwork this week is beyond normal tedious. There isn't much for anyone to do, since the PI's are flying in this weekend and all work has been put on standby until they get here (and then a tempest of work will ensue, no doubt). I'm doing a small experiment to see if the media I've been working on for nigh' a month and half is really at all useful. It might not be. And honestly, I'm kindof tired of working on it at all anyway, and almost wish it won't work so I can just move on to something else. However that's alot of wasted time and reagents. . .

Once I got past last week's rainy, hormone-affected Week of Crap(tm) things became much better on all fronts personal. 80's night on Friday was really fun, although I spent most of the time chatting instead of dancing (sorry!). And Saturday was Terrace Fest at the Memorial Union, and I got to salsa dance to a live band, along the waterfront on an absolutely BEAUTIFUL summer night. But yesterday was really the finest yet, since I went home early, cooked a delicious dinner and watched Y Tu Mama Tambien while leisurely painting my toenails after a ridiculously long hot shower. Then I went over to Ben's where friend Courtney was having a birthday party (an event i had forgotten totally about). There I drank waaaay too much wine and ate a piece of orange cake soaked in vodka and anisette. This I found very delicious. Other big suprises where that Ben got a haircut AND gifted me with Grand Theft Auto III--Yay on both accounts! It always amazes me how when people get haircuts your brain tends to bleep an occasional "Is this the same person? Is this the same person?" thing. Not in a bad way, just a novel way. New haircuts are a novelty, because by the next day or so you're used to it. Your mental picture gets updated. You dig?
