Yesterday before heading to San Antonio I stopped by the farmer's market for my weekly pastry/coffee and saw some delicious looking watermelon. As I love watermelon and Avital does too I decided to buy it.

It is HUGE. The size of a fat baby/toddler. And it weighed in at 16.2lbs. We checked twice.

And it was delicious.

So my steering wheel has been locking up both while driving and while pulling out. Took the car in. So what happened was that something in the wheel system thingy broke and all the power steering fluid all leaked out. So it's unsafe to drive and they have to order the part. Good news is that they'll give me a car for the weekend. So I can still go to San Antonio and see Avital.

OH yeah. I left my dress at her place, so I need to go pick it up. It's a three hour drive, so it's best to do it on the weekend so I don't have to do six hours of driving in a day. We'll have tons of fun. Meaning I'll get some reading in and she'll study.

Yay last minute plans.

Spent the day with the boy and then HP at midnight with friends. Come home to find a number of e-mails in the inbox, many from XP and a few of those dealing with the current plot.


So apparently when I take a day off is when things go boom. Narcissistic? Yes.  But I see a pattern. Correlation rather than causation. Yeah. Still not gonna trade my sanity and personal life for it. Which is going awesome if I might say so myself.

Not too long ago nute  posted an article about a same-sex penguin couple raising a baby penguin.

This is a follow-up to this. In an unexpected? unfortunate? turn of events the penguin couple has split up. Or rather, they have been separated by a female penguin named Linda. Linda began courting Harry in her burrow shortly after the passing of her partner this past winter. Apparently, according to a caretaker, Linda is conniving, and more than likely has a plan to not remain single for long.

No word on how Pepper is handling this.

I feel like they should go on Maury or Jerry Springer and work out their issues. But that's just me.

Happy Birthday maureenans !!!!

Stop getting old.

I am DONE with my comps!

I'm not talking about how I did, or how I think I did.


IT'S SUMMER DAMMIT!

Total internet lockdown until June 25

So I made it to 21.

Go me.

I had a series of weird dreams last night.

One of them was too long and detailed to related.

The other involved incandescently and myself doing econometrics.


Um... wtf?

It's Official! There will be a Deapool spinoff!


After months (years? decades?) of speculation it has finally been announced that Ryan Reynolds is attached to reprise his role in a Deadpool movie.

It's still open for scripts (anyone from XP want to have a go? y'all can shat better storylines in your sleep than many people).


And that's my report for the day children.

EDIT: There are spoilers in the article for those of you who haven't seen the movie (sorry Cate!).

But ya. Deadpool spinoff.

The world is ending! I am actually understanding econometrics!

(Not counting today as it is pretty much over!)

Days until Macro final: 4
Days until Micro final: 7
Days until Econometrics final: 11
Days until Birthday: 14
Days until Avital: 19

Pretty much my birthday and seeing the incredible Ms. Avital are what keeping me going at this point. I'm so excited for her to come, no lies. The boy said he can probably get us super special passes to go into NASA, and he's off that weekend which is double yay. So we'll be doing that on Saturday because it takes most of the day. I mean it's almost an hour to get there, then we walk around see the "museum" do some stuff there, then head back. And Sunday we're going to the zoo! To see the Red Panda! And all the other fun animals! Including the Koala.

And you know we both have to be religious, but we'll have fun too! And celebrate my birthday! And RELAX!


Sooooo freaking excited you have NO IDEA!

In case you guys hadn't seen it yet:



Wade Wilson for you all to enjoy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS AISY!

Planning my birthday. Have a couple of options floating around as to where I should have it.

But the big question is:


What should my first drink be?

Breakdown-
Saturday-
Sleep- Midnight
Woke up-4am
Houston to Dallas- 4.5 hours (got turned around once and the next exit was 15 miles away)
How many siblings my aunt has- 7
How many came over with their respective spouses- 6
Number of children- at least two to each of those adults plus my three cousins
Number of times I heard about Jonas Brothers/Hannah Montana- Infinite
Number of drinks I had to keep me from going psycho- 4
Time they all left- 8:30
Time I went to bed- 10
Where I slept- Couch

Sunday-
Woke up- 7am
Went to mass- 8:15 am
People at lunch- See above for rough numbers

Played outside in the wet grass with the boys. For some reason little boys love me (I think it's because they realize I'm really a 14 year old boy, though the hypothesis has been raised that it's because I'm hot. That person is clearly insane).

We had an egg hunt.

AND!!!!

I had coffee and chocolate. YAY!

I went to school to check my e-mail and stuff because I don't know if mine is back on. woot Still haven't done my homework due tomorrow. Who gives homework over a MAJOR holiday?

Oh wait my professors. Dammit!   

I stepped on the scale this morning and realized that I have lost over twenty pounds since starting grad school. So maybe all that studying and walking around campus and being too busy to eat is a good thing.

That's not to say I'm not eating. I do eat. Three meals a day. There's just no real time for snacking. And my diet varies from lovely salads and healthy fare to last night's dinner: pistachio ice cream and smoked salmon. Not at the same time. But it was delicious.

Om nom nom.


I miss chocolate. I think I'm going to buy some for Easter and just inhale it. Mmmmmm chocolate.

"Journalists never know anything, especially those who talk about economics." SO TRUE

When did I turn into such a girl?

The fact that being a Red Sox fan poses more of a pause than being non-Catholic is something (I find) hilarious.
