Rapid fire listings (PART 2), go!

man, busy 2 weeks!

to catch up, and get myself back into the routine of blogging, I've to do the rapidfirelistings again..

In no particular order..

• questionablecontent is seriously a good webcomic. I just finished reading the archives yesterday, and it is now my favorite slice-of-life comic.
• Rachel Ray! Ohhh delicious Rachel Ray. I picked up my March and April editions of Everyday! in quick succession. Gonna hit up one or two of those vegetarian recipes sometime this month.
• Last week, I made deep-fried tofu and some bean sprout soup. While the soup turned out ok (as sort of a palate cleanser for the tofu), the deep-frying caused a huge amount of smoke in the house- I forgot that oil begins to smoke at around 400 degrees.. no more just turning it to HIGH (3 came out of his room coughing his lungs out)! The ones that actually got fried were incredibly salty. Must. Be. Careful. With. Salt.
  
• Camelback mountain! We (00/88/I 2 saturdays ago, 00/I/Asians last saturday) got our butts kicked by that thing. The first time we made it to the top, the second time, pasta beforehand, along with running to the mountain from where we parked, rendered us incapable of going further than the top of the guardrailed-area. The asians made it, however.
• I got new sandals, courtesy of 88. The old ones snapped while visiting 00/88's home in Duckpie. I was so excited after getting them (velcro-strap tommy hilfigers) that I ran out into the kitchen to show every (in my best durrr voice) and promptly slid and hit the floor hard enough to make me remember The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
• I hate being poor! If I'm frugal for this month, I can survive with food and gasoline and probably not die. But I'm not frugal; Mr. Pond needs liner and plants and fishies.
• The first time at camelback Mt (2 saturdays ago), I had lunch with 00/88. It was a pleasant experience, except for someone trying to sneak a peak at me while I was in the bathroom. I forget the place's name, but it had pizza of several varieties.
• I has pseudo-surround sound. Donated speakers from 88 and some wiring-help from 3.
• I WANT WATER HYACINTHS. Well, not really. They'd look nice in the pond, but I didn't really think they were that awesome until I realized they were banned from Arizona.
• My resume. I am sort of working on getting it done by this week, references before the end of the month. No, the blog can't be on my resume :(
• Indie music. Lots of it. QC sort of gave me a push in that direction, easing me gently into the genre (not quite the culture, yet) with an album by The Flaming Lips- The Soft Bulletin. A bit quirky and one of the only albums I've listened to as-of-now that made me want to dance and had songs about mad scientists..

Delicious stats (since last post lol):
Packs of 27s Smoked: 4
Camelbacks climbed: 1.3
Exams that went well: 2
Exams that went horribly: 1
Phone dropped: 5
QCs read: over 900

Rapid fire listings, go!

Lot has happened over the last few days, but I will cover from yesterday morning, in itemized fashion:

• Started smoking again - mainly chaining to help me stay awake for a little all-night cramming for PSY 330, exam 2. Not a great idea. After the first draft, I was light-headed and nearly passed out, barely even finishing the damn thing.
  
• The Office - since we went out for 15A/15B's dinner last Thursday, I was unable to catch up on it until this morning, when I remembered. OMGANDYANDERINAWKWARDCUTENESS
• Saw an old friend from high school who recently came back to Arizona to continue their education in another direction. While the greetings weren't as pleasant enough for me to usually tolerate, I forgave in favor of a warm exchange ("Wow, you still go to ASU? I thought you'd be done by now!")
• By procrastinating all spring break, not doing the last two homeworks and missing the last two lab sessions, I had just about royally fucked myself for this exam. I am prepared for a 50%, although after taking it this afternoon I feel optimistic (as in, "maybe I BS'd enough to get a 70%..?")
• Caffeine. CAFFEINE. Man that stuff is dangerous combined with cigarettes.. I'd almost forgotten their awesome dream-team'bility- 3 pots fixed that..
• The POWER NAP. 30-45mins of assisted power nap (3: Dude get up *FLASH CEILING LIGHTS*)
• That mentioned, I have slept about 30-45mins since waking up on 3/23 around 7am..
• PGS 443 - Dr. P is amazing and easily one of my favorite professors in the psych dept. Although his "I'm kind of joking about that, but not really joking" quips get repetitive after you realize that he is retelling an anecdote from 2 lectures ago.. again. Nevertheless, I renew my doubt of psychoanalysts, big pharma, health insurance companies and over-diagnosis with each dose of the entertaining morning lecture.
• Questionable Content - I've spent about 4-6 of today's waking hours reading the strip. I'm up to 99, and I've read about 500 strips back from the latest page. J. Jacques is amazing.
• Dr. K attended today's lab meeting and discussed grad school and reaffirmed my belief that it will be nearly impossible for me to attend in the foreseeable (~5 years) future. It costs a lot (just to apply, GRE, etc), my GPA sucks, I'm not interested in academia, and a few other annoyances that I will detail later.

Desperably in need of sleep.
