someday soon i will post a real entry

but for now i'll just say that sometimes my life is awesome, sometimes it's depressing, and sometimes it's just plain weird. the past few weeks have been all three.

my slow descent into alcoholism

yet another band i really want to see in concert is the new pornographers. maybe they will come to toad's place someday.

it was a rather eventful weekend, although not so much an exciting week. friday, i went to gpscy for karoke with a bunch of people. i sang careless whispers, which is an amazing song, and a cute boy from hgs sang with me. after some investigative research (ie talking to other people who live in hgs) i think his name may he hugh. who knows. but it was fun. i drank a lot and didn't get drunk because my tolerance is way too high.

saturday i spent three hours working on the confocal microscope and taking pictures for glow-in-the-dark neurons. then i went out again to gpscy (which was lame because no one was there), richters, and louis's lunch (mmmmm... burgers). in between all that, i watched a good amount of season 5 of the simpsons.

sunday i went climbing with jessica from my lab and her boyfriend jeff. it was a lot of fun but now my arms hurt. then i went to the ted leo and the pharmacists concert at toad's place. it was the longest concert ever because there were three openers. i went by myself as usual, and had no one to talk to between sets, so i randomly listened to other people's conversation. apparently, i was involuntarily making faces at the comments that this one guy next to me was making. he called me on it and we talked for a few minutes. he was a 24-year-old senior at yale who grew up in canada. nice guy, cute, i will probably never see him again. the concert was pretty awesome because i was standing right in the front and leaning on the stage. my ears are still ringing, but it was worth it. ted leo sweats so much on stage it was kind of gross. yay concert!!

last week i talked to a bunch of people (well two) about my third lab rotation. i talked to angelique bordey and david wells, who both were really nice with interesting research. tomorrow i am talking to mark yeckel who kind of scares me because he asked for a cv or description of my research background when i emailed him. weird. oh anonymous blog commentor, any advice or opinions on these three pis? i think i'm leaning towards rotating in david wells lab because he does more molecular stuff and i would still be able to learn some electrophysiology, but in angelique's lab i would learn live calcium imaging in cerebellum slices. pretty cool. i still have a week to decide though.

brad, casey, and i had talked about going skiing next sunday and monday but now the weather is supposed to be warm and rainy so we probably can't go. which sucks. poop. maybe i can figure out some crazy borrowing the car scheme and pick up my skis and my brother and go skiing over break. we shall see.

i'm so excited!! poop, ash, and beth are coming this friday and we are going to see billy fucking joel in concert!!!! yay!!

and on tuesday harry potter and the goblet of fire comes out on dvd. chu, the manager of gpscy, is going to get the movie so we can all watch it on tuesday night after hours. this is also very exciting.

speaking og gpscy, i am working thursday and saturday this week.

also, i am going to see rent tomorrow, and that should be fun too.

i like having no class! yay spring break!

on a completely unrelated note, i had a weird, kind of bad dream this morning that woke me up. i've had several similar dreams in the past, and it's not that they are bad dreams, they just make me sad. the general theme of the dreams is that gerrit decides that he will never talk to me again, never pick up the phone when i call, never call me back, and always sign off of aim when i sign on because he has decided that he hates me for some reason or another. the reasons are never exactly the same, and not really important. it just makes me sad. i haven't talked to him in a long time because he's so busy with sns stuff and classes and npp and new friends and things. i don;t think we;ve really talked since i visited him in newark airport. i have no idea what is going on with him now except for what is posted on the sns bboards which i still read because i'm a creepy old stalker/lurker person. it sucks. and i suppose he knows what is going on with me because of this stupid blog that he reads every once in a while. and really since i post most of my life here anyway, what's the point of a phone call? all the stories will be the same. and now i'm abusing this blog to tell gerrit that he should call me back because he reads it sometimes and maybe the message will actually get across better than me leaving messages on his phone that are forgotten about.

i miss my gorilla and i want him back. i told joe the poop to steal him back for me.

i should probably do lab work or eat lunch or something semi-productive now.

fluffies.
