Don’t Call My Name.

Me: Don’t call my name.
Psycho Friend: Good thing you’re not Jesus….telling people don’t call your name.  What that sound like?

WTF?!
I would say something rude about my psycho friend, but the saying goes, “you are the company you keep.”  However,  I can’t afford to be grouped in that category right now.

I saw YahZarah at the Apple Store.  I was saying Oooooh I know who you are! She was probably thinking get away from me crazy person.  But she was real laid back and cool.  Aaah, that voice!  If I had her voice, I’d probably walk around singing rather than speaking.

Tonight I think I’ll drop into Six Plates for their Tuesday special.  I love that place.  The owner is great.  The lady that works there? Not so friendly.  The chef from Six Plates has another venture - Local Yogurt.  I haven’t made it over there, but it’s on my To-Try List.

Don’t

Filed under: Just Life — Dubbskii @ 11:59 pm

It’s Summertime!  I’m eating all kinds of summer stuff like watermelon lemonade, veggie sandwiches, and panzanella.  Light and fresh.  I just love the produce I can choose from during these months.

Seriously.  A lot of people I know [insert side eye - yeah you] are having some serious man problems.

“Don’t you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.”

Yikes!  I have so much I want to say about all of that, but I need to get some permission slips signed first.  Just for future reference, unless you say off the record when we’re talking, I have the right to use our conversation under the creative common license privilege.

Blasts from the pasts.
Have you ever known someone that’s so dumb that you can’t even get mad at them?  I’m experiencing that every week with the same person.  All I can do is shake my head and roll my eyes.  I’ve known this guy like 12 years and we’ve hung out occasionally but we don’t really keep in touch like that.  He lived in the same city as my friend, so I’d hit him up whenever I was in town to say hey.  Long story short, now dude sends me one word text messages at like 1 am like 3 days out the week.  Dude. Are you serious?  First of all, if you’re texting me that late at night it better say something like…

My phone won’t dial out – text messages only – and my house is on fire.  Can you please call for help?

That would maybe be acceptable.  But you just gonna message “Wassap”?  Secondly wtf is a wassap?  iCan’t.  I have been working ~13 hours a day in the lab, so the last thing I want is some text message interrupting my good sleep.  Ultimate frustration.  And then when I do text back the following morning, it’s like “wassap” again or “are you busy?”  Over it. and Please Stop.

On a positive note, my ex-boyfriend released a mixtape.  Go ahead, be nosy, and check it out.

On a ten times more positive note, things are working out in the lab.  I’ve established my system, and today I started my first round of screening.  I’ll have data for 288 colonies.  Oh, Data, how I have longed for thee.  I’m meeting with this guy tomorrow who, pending the outcome of the meeting, may become the final member of my committee.  Then I can set up a date for my preliminary exam.  Wish me luck!

btw – thx for commenting ms.new mama. u keep me motivated.

A Little Advice

Filed under: Just Life — Tags: , , , — Dubbskii @ 1:29 pm

If you want to be a better person you have to be honest with yourself and it’s ok to be in love and be proud to love your girl. You don’t have to cheat because people tell you it’s not cool to be with one person. If you’re happy, do you. When you love yourself others will see that in you and do the same. They have no choice but to respect it.

~Que of Day 26~

A friend brought this to my attention and I ABSOLUTELY love it!

And anyone living their lives for someone else gets a “Bitch. Boo. Bye.”

Zoya Nails

Filed under: Just Life,Random — Dubbskii @ 4:35 pm

So my heart officially skips a few beats for Zoya nail polish.  I was super excited when the UPS man called for me to buzz him in.  I was like a little kid at the door, waiting for my package.

I ordered two samplers: La Di Da and Oh La La. Right now, I’ve painted Renee (an ultra bright pink) on my nails.  It was a rushed job as I swapped relationship advice and weekend horror stories with my friends on GChat.  See below.

Lovely!

Lovely!

Unfortunately my toes are not fit for showing on the blog.  I have painted some of them Midori (green) and some Tallulah (blue) from the the Oh La La Collection. <– It looks like Solange gone wrong.  I don’t like the way Midori looks on me – maybe it’s the yellowish shimmer.  However, I do like the way Tallulah looks.  I’d like to thank vampyvarnish for introducing me to Zoya and the Lippmann polishes which I hope to debut next week!

Week 1 of 15

Filed under: Food — Tags: , — Dubbskii @ 8:16 pm

So, I’ve been slacking on Amy’s 15 Week Challenge.

Anyway, this week’s challenge was to recreate a meal or something you enjoy into something a little bit healthier.  I decided to go with chicken salad.  Unfortunately, I don’t measure things out, so this is just a guesstimation.

Chicken Salad

Chop up some cooked curried chicken breasts
Chop up some celery
Rough chop a handful of Craisins
Dice 1/4 a sweet Vidalia onion
add a sprinkle of salt
1 cup of Fat Free Plain Yogurt

Mix it all together and eat on toasted wheat bread!

I like to believe that replacing fatty mcnatty mayonnaise with yogurt instantly makes this dish much healthier.  I hope this counts!
