Yubsie's Yammerings

So, kinda sick of saying "Hi, I saw out front that you're hiring?" :p I went to the mall and applied at a bunch of stores. Including a kids' clothes store, which led to a lot of jokes about "Ooh, and you can wear the clothes!" from my family. Loving family I have. :p

This was AFTER the madness that is Free Comic Book Day. Or as I like to call it "Evil sale day" :p I was MOSTLY good! I bought the first volume of the FMA manga, volume two of Books of Magic and volume four of Lucifer. None for full price? Yeah, I need a job. :p

I also ran into seryan, which is always exciting and random. :p

This evening we went to see The Choir of Misfits, an amusing musical put on by a new community theatre group. I got to gawk at all the shiny things they've done to the high school theatre since I left. :p

I've decided that McDonald's is like dwarf bread. There's always going back to McDonald's! Just like there's ALWAYS the dwarf bread. :p

I did an old fashioned Organic II chloroform/water extraction in the lab yesterday. Hopefully it worked, but I haven't been able to find the CDCl3 to run an NMR. We must have it somewhere! I was using a cute little 25 mL separatory funnel. It was ADORABLE, though annoying to find the stopper for.

Yes. I just called a piece of lab glassware CUTE. :p It can be! I mean, 10 mL Erlenmyre flasks are ADORABLE!

Oh, are those the men in white coats? Who sent them?

We were working on our Spec lab report yesterday. We spend about half an hour trying to work through an equation only to discover that it resulted in an imaginary number. SO annoying.

Speaking of annoying, I sat down to play the SIms after I finished my Japanese homework and discovered that a download was crashing the game before it fully loaded. This led to a good chunk of time moving files around trying to figure out WHICH download it was. :p But I did eventually manage to open the game. The Tams are currently at a ACK two toddlers stage, because the human baby and the alien baby both grew up. I think toddlers might actually be more annoying than babies in that game, because they need to be taught skills. :p Simon has left his job as a surgeon for a life of crime though. He's currently a getaway driver. :p There ws also hilarity with Inara's "client" wandering up to Book's orphanage in his UNDERWEAR and playing with the dollhouse. Two of the kids are now teenager, and the girl is in the midst of befriending Zoe and Wash's teenaged son. :p

Oh, and I placed a pretty shinies order with Chapters. Volumes 4-6 of Runaways so I can catch up with the second arc quickly. That only came to about $25, so I had to find something else to bring me up to the all important free shipping. Thus, the first volume of Lucifer. I mean, if my Fables ever comes in at Hobbyton, I'll be caught up with that! We wouldn't want me to not have an expensive series to collect now would we? :p

Cabaret tonight!
