lunch

looking to go on a diet? try my new weight loss plan! it's fast, easy, and only available to baylor employees. see how simple it can be:

1. go into the pathology department break room between the hours of 12 and 2.
2. inhale deeply.

i guarantee your appetite will be gone after just 30 seconds! if the smell of weird microwaved food isn't enough, just move on to step 3, putting your head in the fridge, and you can bet that you won't be wanting food of any kind for the rest of the day!


side effects may include nausea and vomiting.

happy birthday to me... i just ordered a bottle of knockout matte black.

hey it's karen o from the yeah yeah yeahs!

having black nail polish on makes doing anything, like, say cutting brussels sprouts, ever so slightly badass. (please note i said 'slightly'. not in this universe will the word 'badass' ever really apply to me.) i've been obsessing over this for a few months, because i'm a sucker for anything matte. i can't wait to try it out next to my glow-in-the-dark skin.

speaking of celebrating my emergence into this world, i can't decide what to do for the big day. i sort of want to go shooting..

whitest girl alive

how is it possible to sit outside for half an hour at lunch and get a sunburn? unfair!

sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

today's song of the day. i had forgotten that i like old elton john until we watched almost famous this weekend.

(this makes me want to get on the MTA to grand central. i miss new york.)

please be mine!

spotted while driving down shepherd. it's my favorite color. sigh.

and those are two starbucks, directly across the street from each other, not one big one.

i'm wicked excited.

it may have given me an ulcer, but i booked my ticket back to mass. twelve days at home, morgan's graduation, and michelle will be joining me for a weekend so she can compare old and new england. (meaning she can experience all the things i've overhyped.) time to figure out who we know that's closest to the T!

lately

a spontaneous picnic of breakfast tacos outside the menil. living in montrose is the best.

ask me about tie-down roping and/or bronc riding. i am now very knowledgeable on rodeo subjects. also, they had fireworks INSIDE.

i am obsessed with poladroid. it makes all my pictures magically look as if they were taken in 1982.

presents

today at work i've been sitting in a little room using the scientific equivalent of a deli slicer and taking tiny slices of mouse organs to put on slides. normally i sort of loathe this, but not today. for today i have a new birthday ipod, given to me by a certain someone whose name begins with 'd' and ends in 'ave'. it has a click wheel! my old ipod would be so ashamed, sitting up there on the shelf next to my phonograph and the bonfire and blanket i use as a means of communication. i happily sliced uteri while listening to nick cave. it was about as nice a day as it can be at baylor.

but wait, it can get better: there are thin mints hidden in the lab freezer. (inside a latex glove, don't want any contamination.)

eff this

I'M CRABBY.
