why do i still have 2 hours left? jeez. i came in at 9:03 this morning, which is the closest i've been to on time since my first day. I'm almost done with the Kress file, but some of these files have absolutely no clues on them to explain what grants they pertain to. Why couldn't someone have just written the fucking grant number on the sheet? how hard is that? or to even say, re: grant blah blah blah. it's really not that hard.

i'm in the office today because i was not in the office yesterday. i had forgotten to set my alarm when I fell asleep on tuesday night. i woke up wednesday morning thinking, shit, i must be late. it was only 8:10. so i thought, cool, sleep more, and i woke up again at 9:10. i called and said i wasn't feeling well, and could i come in tomorrow? and my boss was super nice about it. she's so nice :)

so instead of working, i went to west way with kelsey, where they tried to charge me 40 cents each for lettuce and tomato on my tuna salad sandwiche DELUXE. what the fuck does the delux mean, if not, comes with lettuce and tomato? we got fries with it. that would be a tuna salad sandwich with fries. the waitress was all sorts of bitchy.

edit: oh yeah, i mailed my speeding ticket in and faxed my score cancellation to kinko's. hopefully they're both on time.

then we went down to barnes and noble at lincoln sq, where i proceeded to buy 3 stephen king books (i can explain. one was a hardcover in the bargain books section, which i can't resist. hearts in atlantis, was that a good movie? the other two were insomnia and the eyes of the dragon, both of which have some crossover or overlap into the world of the Dark Tower, which is an incredible series by him. if you like westerns, you should definitely check it out) and shadow of the hegemon, which i've already read, but don't own, and it was hardcover in the bargain books also. kelsey amused herself reading "the devil wears prada," written by the fresh out of college assistant to the editor of vogue, and people magazine. yeah trash. she also had the most incredible ink stains all over her face. how did you manage to do that?

then i wanted to go see finding nemo, but 68th is not showing it, only 84th. i hate that. i also hate having to pay $4 whenever i leave the columbia area. fuck that.

so i came back home, then ordered from giovanni's with london. i almost stayed to watch lizzie mcguire (how old is hilary duff? amanda bynes is hotter, though). heh, i made a comment of which i am extremely proud, so i have to write it down here. kelsey and lightshow came down, and said, we're going to max soha for dinner. i said, niiiice, and then i saw bonnie too, who was also apparently going. so i say, what the fuck? what are you doing? and so on, and then some more words, and i dropped the gem, "do you want a fourth wheel to go along with your third?" i'm really proud of that. you don't understand.

then, more final fantasy tactics, then poker, during which i won 4.60. i came in second though, behind dave's 5.25. blimey bastard.

tomorrow is the mets yankees game. but it is also tom's birthday. but it is also christian's party. tom, your parents picked a terrible time to conceive you, or your mom picked a terrible time to pop you outta there, i'm not sure which.

i love eating lunch here. i had salmon with mexican corn and smashed sweet potatoes for 5.08. and i get 5% off if i get a ziptic, which i'm going to. it's like dining dollars, but i guess not as good, since 5% is less than the NY tax. grr

i want comments! how come no one comments on my page?

btw, new record on tuesday of 40 page views. so i know you fuckers are reading it. where are my comments? unless it's the same person 40 times. you bastards.

the reason this is so long is because i'm typing it in notepad and posting the whole thing at once. i figure it's less obvious that i'm fooling around on the computer if i do it that way.

mary, you don't read this, do you? i love you mary! come home already, jeez.

oh oh oh! almost forgot. our circuit fucking OSCILLATES. almost perfectly, too. .940 instead of .993 MHz, but that's probably due to the parasitic capacitance of the oscilloscope probes. oh well. since we got it working around 10:40 on tuesday night, i have not talked to my partner about it once. heh. i told kinget the good news on wed morning, and he sent me this long email almost immediately that i just have not bothered to read yet.

wow, this is long. jess, your desperate polls suck. stoops, post more crap. makiko, come back! mara, you're a jew. amanda, you frighten me. mike liu, chilllllllllllllll. pardo, good luck with the aliyah. susan (susan? do you read this?) finish your semester already for god's sake. who else do i know reads this? um, whoever that is at smith college, hi. jillian, come visit me! and who is it at SUNY stoney brook that comes here?

whew, wasted 22 minutes writing this up. i rule.
