Ok, technically I made tetraamminecopper(II) sulfate monohydrate but I’m guessing you don’t know what that is. I know what that is and I’m really proud of myself for knowing what that is but for the purposes of this blog I’ll just tell you that it is pretty blue sand that smells like cotton candy. Like REALLY pretty blue sand, like I wanted to take it home in a jar and put it on my dresser because it is a really intense pretty dark royal blue sand and it smells like cotton candy. Unfortunately they made me throw it away in the Acidic Inorganic Waste container under the fume hood. Stupid rules.
I actually really enjoyed school today which is nice because this class has been nothing but discouraging so far. Today's lab was fun and interesting (and even though I wasn't sure, it turns out I did the Pre-Lab questions correctly yessss!) and I even enjoyed today's lecture, it makes me feel a little better about things.

Fortune Cookies
One of my current pet peeves at the moment is fortune cookies that do not contain fortunes. I don’t mean they are empty, I mean they have some bullcrap proverb or saying in them instead of a fortune. When I eat a fortune cookie I want to know that that at some point in the indeterminate future I am going to receive good news in the mail, or that changes in my work lie ahead, that is the whole point to eating a fortune cookie!!!
This was my “fortune” today:
Good Health is Important. Eat Your Vegetables.
W. T. F.????
Ps: Mom, I still totally remember when you lied about my fortune when I was 4 years old. I haven’t forgotten yet. In fact, that may have been when my obsession with the fortunes in fortune cookie began, so yeah, maybe I blame you.

Where's Our Stalker When We Need Him?
There comes a moment when you and your best friend are standing outside staring down at two cars with the hoods open, holding jumper cables, that you realize something. You have no idea what to do now. You just hook it up right? Wait, don't you have to make sure they go the right way or like the battery explodes or something? Oh look directions on the jumper cables....negative ground what? Is the red positive? Does it matter? I don't know. Hang on, I have a manual. Ok it says don't do that. Huh?
Dammit, just call a boy.
Thank you Michael. Kailey's car started and she is on her way to buy a new battery.

SYTYCD - Week 4
This is about last week’s episode that I had to wait until last night to watch because Kailey was out of town.
Favorite of the evening:
Twitchington’s Contemporary: LOVED IT! This was all about Twitch the whole way through.
Runner’s up:
Will & Jessica’s Jazz: Really all because of Will and because I'm a sucker for a clothing trick. I would love to see Will dance with Katee (though I DO NOT want Joshua kicked off) because I think Katee is the only girl that is anywhere near his level of perfection.
Katee & Joshua’s Contemporary: How does Mia Michaels do it? Seriously. How does one person exist with this much creativity week after week???
Chelsie & Mark’s Foxtrot: It was pretty and fun, really enjoyable.
Least Favorite:
Courtney & Gev’s Broadway: Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. It seemed like the longest routine of the evening and I was bored out of my mind.
Runner Up:
Katee & Joshua’s West Coast Swing: This should have been great. I mean it is K&J being choreographed by Benji! Too bad it was boring and looked like they were marking it the whole way through. But the judges liked it so maybe it was different in studio. The hip thing at the end almost saved it though. Also, Katee’s outfit was horrid. – Speaking of outfits … Wardrobe: meet me at paragraph five.
What. The. Fuck. (sorry mom) was that black and white atrocity that Cat was wearing on Wednesday night????? Slight redemption with Thursday’s red dress and the fact that Mary looked like a normal human being as opposed to a leopard print disco ball but COME ON!!! Those bows made me want to vomit a little.
Results: Really sad to see Kortni go though we were pretty sure that was going to happen once she was put in the bottom three. Really glad to see Nigel not buying into the whole Comfort Love thing that seems to be going on. Just because she is a hip hop dancer doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t have to be amazing in other styles (see Twitch doing contemporary or Joshua doing anything), time to either become awesome or go home. Gev’s solo was amazing so I’m fine with him not going home … this week.

Excuse You
Michael and I went to see Wanted this weekend. I really enjoyed it, of course I tend to enjoy Angelina Jolie’s action roles quite a bit (hello Tomb Raider anyone???) plus it had James McAvoy in it, and I might have a slight movie star crush on him…MAYBE.
Ok, but the weird part is that through the entire movie the girl next to me burped. Like every two minutes. It was pretty quiet, Michael didn’t hear her, but it was a tad distracting. Now, I’m a burper (as Michael is beginning to realize) and I live with a burper (to Renee & Janelle: has she always said “babies” when she burps or is this new?) but every two minutes in a movie theater????? Seems excessive to me.

mm Hmm
So this is what happens when summer happens. TV shows go on hiatus and I am reduced to being excited about a blog (Burn Notice hurry up!!!). A blog with a trailer. Of course it is written and directed by Joss Whedon and stars Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris so we can safely say that I would be excited about this even during the HEIGHT of the regular TV season.
I give you.....

I Met Myself Today
And I’m a little creeped out by it.
Whose life does this sound like?
Graduated High School in 2000.
Did some college, focusing in History.
Went to work in business and had a good career at a really great company but decided that she didn’t really want to do that for the rest of her life.
Decided to go back to school to get a science related degree.
Moved to Austin because she couldn’t afford to pay rent and work part time while going to school (from DC).
Has a boyfriend getting his Ph.D in computer science.
Um yeah, on top of that. She is the girl who got the other 70% on our last test. Something happened in class today (we were lab partners) and I had a really sarcastic comment about it but I held back because I didn’t really know this girl but then she proceeds to make almost the exact comment. We went to the café to get a drink between lab and class and we have the exact same wallet (Target of course). Oh yeah, and her name is Valerie.
