Everyone seems to be doing all these really cool, introspective “year in review” posts. Where they talk about all their accomplishments, and all the shit that’s gone down, etc.
I don’t really have one of those. My “what I accomplished in 2004″ list looks like this:
1. I started a blog
2. I have managed […]

Ran some errands today. Exchanged Sadie’s collar and got her a new toy (spoiled!), went to Target to check out slashed Christmas stuff. Very disappointed that […]

Yesterday I hung out with my oldest and best friend, Jenni. We went to see Christmas with the Kranks at the local ghetto theater. Then went to Century III mall, an equally ghetto mall, so Jenni could make some […]
Children LAUGHing, People PASSing, MEETing smile after smiiiiillllle….
Published December 28th, 2004 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsToday I hit the mall for some good sales with my mom. We went to a good mall, not the ghetto mall that’s closeby. Definately a good choice.
I got a nice pair of black pants to go with a top my mom bought me. I love pants made from fabric that’s loose and silky. It […]

Overheard in the ladies restroom at a Panera in PA
a mother: from the stall to her teenage daughter “what time is it?”
stranger: “it’s 1:45″
mother: ignoring stranger “do you have a watch? […]
Christmas eve:
The morning was spent trying to figure out 1. where we were going to go out to eat, 2. which movie to see, and 3. was my brother going to grace us with his presence?
answers:
1. cheesecake factory
2. meet the fokkers
3. yes, amazingly enough
Then I stayed up late…AGAIN! loading another anti-spyware program on my […]
and all through the house…
My family is drinking margaritas, eating christmas cookies, and watching a documentary about bridges in pittsburgh on PBS.
Hello. My name is ESC. I am a geek, born into a family of geeks.

I’m leeeeeeaving, ON a jet PLANE!!! ****now with continuous, up to the minute updates****
Published December 23rd, 2004 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsWell folks, color me gone.
Almost gone. I’m still puttering around the house, cleaning up bits here and there. And occasionally running back to the bedroom in horror when I realize things like “pajamas! did I pack pajamas?” or “socks!!!”
Never did finish my chocolate covered pretzel making. Because I am lazy and addicted to my laptop. […]
I should be packing, but I’m in denial that I’ll be traveling soon.
I kept hearing this weird fluttering noise in my living room. Then I see this thing:
crawling up the light cord. GAH! DIE DIE DIE! I use roach spray indescriminately on any creepy crawly that enters my domain. The […]
Grrrr…what a SUCKY DAY!
Monday night I ordered radioactivity, figuring the order would be approved Tuesday, it would be delievered today, I could probe my blot tonight (hehe…dirty sounding, I know) and wash and put in the cartridge tomorrow. Then it could sit happily while I was away for the holiday, and when I got back, […]
Craziness here in atlanta. First of all, it’s been COLDER THAN A WITCH’S TEAT here for the past few days. And I’m not crying like a wimpy southerner. The weather guy (Flip Spiceland) took great pleasure on monday pointing out that Atlanta was 6 degrees colder at 17 than some god-awful desolate […]
Here’s my new rug:
Hand woven wool, and it only set me back $25! Nice.
Baked cookies (finally!) tonight. The chocolate mint pinwheels and neiman marcus chocolate chip, and also made some coconut macaroons, which turned out a little sticky. Woohoo! Tomorrow I make chocolate covered pretzels. Who wants to come over? […]
I had two, count ‘em, TWO work related Christmas parties yesterday. One was for the biology department. They put out a VERY nice lunch spread! Salad, rolls, broccolini with shallots, red potatoes, chicken marsala and beef tenderloin! With creme brule’ cheesecake. Mmmmmmm…
The highlight of the afternoon was a little skit […]
How disgustingy cute and sweet are we? I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop, and kevin is sitting not 10 feet away on the desktop..and we are instant messaging. Flirty instant messaging.
Just like old times
Yeah, I’m still here. My seminar was today, so I spent most of the day STRESSING!
“but ESC! you’re a 6th year graduate student! Why are you stressing over a simple 25 minute presentation?”
Well, normally, I don’t. You have to understand that generally by the time you get to your 6th year, you […]
Hehe…someone just found my site Googling “thanksgiving spongebob.” I don’t think they got what they were expecting. I sincerely hope it wasn’t a kid, because they just more of a sex education reading that entry than they ever would with George Bush’s Sex Education of Abstinance and Lies.
Maintenance of Genome Stability, or some bullshit like that
Published December 14th, 2004 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsGrrrrrrr. Just had my first “practice talk.” The first one NEVER goes all that well, ESPECIALLY when I’m talking on things I’ve never talked about at a seminar before. It’s all new material. Boss lady and the people in the lab gave me helpful suggestions. All stuff I’ve heard before: […]
Yesterday I decided that I needed a BREAK FROM CHURCH! Seriously, I’m getting sick of all the meetings and events and whatever. So I called in sick from choir and my meeting (hey, I’m still technically sick) and decided to be lazy. I used my amazing powers of femininity to convince Kevin […]

Can I just say…how much…I LOVE MY KITCHEN AID MIXER??? It’s beautiful. And wonderful. And marvelous. I think I may have called out “oh god…yes….Kitchen Aid!!!!” last night in bed. I’m not sure. But Kev was definately upset about something!!
haha. that was a joke. I really called out “cuisinart!!!”
Last night I made two […]
potato and 4 cheese and controversy ***UPDATE***
Published December 9th, 2004 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsMrs. T’s pierogies used to have 12 pierogies in box. Now, I count only 10.
I love Mrs. T’s peirogies…but I think the bitch is ripping me off.

First of all, Happy Hannukah to all my Jewish blogfriends: Mikey, Gooooooch, thedave, Dan (I think?), and a Hap. Hann. to Katey (get it? it’s HALF! yeah…not funny). Did I forget anyone? So to all those folks, let me buy you a beer.
Health update: The tidal wave of snot has mostly retreated to my lungs. […]
I’m laying on my couch, with a huge mountain of snotty kleenex, a half a glass of decaf iced tea, and an empty bag of doritoes next to me.
Yep. still sick.
The cold has quickly migrated to my lungs. This may actually be a good sign, as it usually takes longer to do that. The down […]
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAA!
Someone found my blog googling “randy colon.”
It’s the best birthday present ever.
and oh yeah…
The service of music today went great. I managed to not sneeze, cough, snot, or wheeze through any of it. and my voice held out, too.
Kevin made me lunch, and then gave me a new watch (STILL haven’t […]
I’m sick. Sicky sicky sicky POOOOO!
Woke up this morning with a very sore throat, passed it off as sinus drainage. I had dress rehearsal at church at 10, so I downed some asprin to dull the pain. But by the end of rehearsal, I was feeling a bit woozy, and sniffly, and sneezy. Still […]
I am going out with friends tonight to get an early start on the festivities. Drinks and Thai food - mmmmmm…
tomorrow is choir dress rehearsal, an hour or so at work, then home to set up the christmas tree. sunday is the music service in the morning, and then home to…whatever Kev has planned. […]
I figured out the mp3 issue. I didn’t know that stoopid iTunes locked their songs. I can play them on my computer, but can’t do it on my player…without FIRST burning to a cd, then copying back on the hard drive, and THEN transferring to the mp3 player.
pain. in. my. ass.
Is there […]
The food is good, so why do they fight so much?
Published December 2nd, 2004 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsI am somewhat calmed down now. Mostly because of the very nice lunch I had with my friend Vic. I haven’t seen him much since he got married and moved to Charleston, but he was back in town for a conference, and to meet up with old friends. We ended up having a […]
GODDAMNFUCKINGSTUPIDGODDAMNTHINGPIECEOFSHIT!!!!!
I just WASTED an entire morning, downloading a copy of the music that we’ll be singing at the big choir service on sunday, so I can listen and practice. I bought it, downloaded it, and then tried to get Windows Media Player to transfer it to my mp3 player. I could see the […]
That’s what I would call a post about pastries. Sadly, this post is not about pastries.
Here is a pic of the stand mixer mom got me. Nice! I need to bake something. Requests?
Let us all sing a happy song: my advisor/boss lady is going out of town until friday afternoon. Hooray! Oh, the slacking that […]
It’s very difficult to listen to “dancing queen” on my headphones and NOT dance around the lab a little.
