15 minutes of real, actual work...

ok, so i did more than 15 minutes of work today, but i did find that the lab is much more bearable if i take relatively frequent breaks to walk around the basement of the dana building and socialize with people in other offices and in the halls...this made the day go by MUCH faster, and it was nice to catch up with a lot of people, ranging from former students to friends i haven't seen since last winter.

hal and AJ ( aka 'the other brown girl') came over this evening to watch the season finale of Rescue Me with james and me. it was a really good finale and i am sad that i will have to wait until 2006 for the next season to begin; i suppose i will at least have CSI, CSI: Miami, and Alias to look forward to pretty soon, but the grittiness of the FX dramedy will be missed.

ok well it's already pretty late so i will leave you all with some quotes from the day:

christine: wow, you are accomplishing quite a bit before noon!
~i guess i at least appeared to be working...

andrea: anyway, i have a feeling your party is not going to be a simple, small affair since you don't know how to plan anything simple anymore (kidding, or am I?).
~called out via email

carrie: will there be any drinking games involving fish tanks full of liquor?
~10 gallons is quite a bit...270 gallons is probably just a little crazy...

me: so what were you up to all summer?
andy: shrimping.
