Yubsie's Yammerings

QotD:

Ryan: "I'm glad you don't have erectile dysfunction."

This is what happens when he looks at my spam folder. :p

Why is my spam always 80% off? It doesn't matter which clearly highly respectable Viagra dealer (because clearly I'm in the marker :p), it's always 80% off. Have some variety, spambots! :p

Meme from seryan

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Her Noble Excellency Yubsie the Blue of Fishkill St Wednesday Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Yeah, this post has no actual content. :p I think I'll go sew or play video games or something. :p And maybe wrap my sister's Christmas present. :p

The NMR machine is rather on the blink right now. Even if we can GET a lock, which takes like five tries, the spectrum ends up looking all manner of hideous. I sent my sample up to Shrubby for a boron, and I asked him to run a proton while he's at it. We always have to get Shrubby to run the borons, because we're not trained on the machine that can actually do them, but usually we can run protons on our own. Which is good, because they need more or less constant running. OF course, there's nothing for me to do until I get it back. I can't even use this time as reaction time, because I don't know if my sample needs to be refluxed for longer. If it's done now, I don't want to risk making it decompose by heating it longer. I can only figure this out with the NMRs though, which means waiting for Shrubby.

On the plus side, I managed to get on to SciFinder for the first time in like a week, so I can find lots of papers. Except I totally don't want to be reading papers right now.

So, umm, comment spam please? I need entertainment!

Things in Chemistry that Yubsie Cannot Take Seriously:

ENDOR (it's a calculation method, iirc)
DAMN (diamino something or other :p)
Bipyridine (a common inorganic ligand... which is abbreviated BIPY :p)

Still no love from Aldrich. Can't get on to SciFinder. Running out of keywords for literature search.

PLEASE. Someone start comment spamming me to alleviate my boredom? :p

Spammers. All of you. I was only gone for three days, how did I get back 320 entries without catching up? Yes, I eventually gave up. :p

I had a fun time at home. The puppy behaved herself fairly well, for a change, though Legolas has taught her how to open the gate into the kitchen. I'm still not sure how HE figured it out, he's the STUPID cat!

My Sandman made the rounds again. BJ has proclaimed Desire "weird". Gwenna's partway through volume six, which means she's one shy of the SOUL EATING volume. Shannon flipped through a bunch of them admiring teh pretty. Because there is indeed much pretty. Oh, and Wes seems to quite like Sandman. :p He also thinks there should have been some Wes in The Swarm War, and tried to physically make it so. :p

I finally FINISHED The Swarm War. My ship is being frustrating... and Tess doesn't even SHIP them! They shouldn't be causing me this much trouble! :p

I saw The Corpse Bride, which was very fun. Death is fun, even! :p Maybe I'm slightly morbid, that I keep finding so many places to apply that. :p

My big discovery this weekend: Cutting fabric is a PAIN when you have cats. I was trying to lay out the fabric for my Fire Pretear cape, and both cats kept deciding it was a toy. :p

Oh, and I finally saw Princess Mononoke, which was very snazzy. :D

Yeah, my entries jump around a lot when I don't update for a few days, I know. :p

[Poll #650054]

In the Cragg. Very bored. Spamming. :p

Trying to study. Brain melty from exam. Spamming. :p

Still snowing. Don't want to leave. Spamming.

EDIT: LOok, I was good and just changed the icon out of boredom instead of making yet ANOTHER pointless post of nothing. Aren't you all thrilled? :p

I've now used all three of my icons on posts this morning.

How sad is that? Pretty sad. :p

It would be sadder if I had a paid account and managed to use all THOSE icons though. :p

I really do abuse the :p face, don't I? :p

I'm done now.

Really. :p
