Poker Face

You can’t read my poker face.

Some days I feel like Lady Gaga singing acoustic.  Peep the video below.

Yes, foot on the keys and all.  She should have severe sore throat.

I ended up staying in town this weekend.  I’m pleased with the amount of fun I had, but not with the amount of work I got done.  Saturday, I made it into the lab for almost an hour.  Then that was it! I had an unexpected visitor on Sunday – so I went to a cookout and then to the Carolina Ale House.  I was supposed to go to a rooftop party (?) but it was pouring down raining – no thanks!

Hopefully, I can do enough work this week to make up for skipping out on the weekend.

Memorial Day

Oh the great Memorial Day Debate…. to travel or not to travel?

I am down here in the dead friend zone – the people I know here think they’re my friends but they’re actually dead to me… my true friends are far away.  Don’t get all crazy – I kid, I kid.  I could stay here and get my work done, or I could go to Maryland and visit one of my best friends.  On the one hand, I know I’m behind on my project, and I could really use the extra days to complete a couple of parts of my cloning.  On the other hand, it’s Memorial Day and I just want to relax.  My parents will not be in town, so I could chill at their house.  Or I could start packing up things at my own to get ready for my big move.  So many questions, so little time to decide.

What are you doing for Memorial Day?

Chipped and Peeling

Chipped and Peeling

Is it me or do my knuckles look like roast beef?

I’m searching for a new color to usher in some summer flavor.  I’ll probably go through old posts on Karen’s site for some ideas.

I’m addicted to OPI and Essie.  I always see various blogs featuring other brands, but I just don’t know where to find them.  I’m aware of the basics like Sally Hansen and Maybelline or Revlon–whoever.  I’m looking for something really funky and different though.  My latest favorite has been  M.A.C.’s Varicose Violet.

Any suggestions?

Auto-Tune Response

So, this week has been crazier than most.

I returned from North Myrtle Beach on Sunday, May 11.  From the previous Thursday up until Monday the 12th I probably had about 15 hours of sleep.  My body was ti-red.  Plus my project in the lab was giving me issues.  So this has not been the week for me.

I can’t seem to get back on schedule.  Every night, I can’t get to bed until 2 or 3am which makes it very difficult for me to wake up in the morning.  Even worse, I was getting in to lab around noon, leaving me to continue working until 7 or 8 pm.  Then dinner and back to more study and preparation – the vicious cycle repeats itself.

Thursday night I went to see The Color Purple at the DPAC.  Phyre Harris was playing the role of Celie, and I think it was a great performance.  However, I did find myself thinking, I bet Fantastia would’ve killed that part!  I really enjoyed it, and if my paper was stacked, I’d buy myself season tickets to the DPAC.

Last night I crashed on my couch at 8pm.  I woke up at 2, decided to start some dough from my new book “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes“  around 5 am.  It’s so easy that I could do it in the middle of the night/mid-morning. Yessir.

Perusing around the internet today – - ok, ok I was actually only reading the blogs in my GoogleReader, I came across Vashtie‘s post on the Auto-tune News.  It included the following video:

I was DEAD watching this!  My favorite parts were the lady saying “not an east coast thing, not a west coast thing” and Katie Couric’s portion on global warming!  This really made my day.  It makes me wish that I had an auto-tune converter built into my voice box so when people approach me with ridiculousness they could receive and Auto-Tuned Response.

Anybody asking me to do anything that is not urgent will receive an auto-tune response.
Yep, that what I’ve pretty much decided.
