Not a LOST post, I promise...kinda...


Well Well Well,

Thursday = Group meeting!
Up to bat today were: Newbie TB and 3rd year McB.
TB did a lit. talk on Asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic enamines (JACS, 2009, 131, 1366-1367) and McB talked about his research, which involves putting a solar farm over Nevada...seriously...ok, well maybe not seriously.

The week is winding down! And what does that mean in my neck of the woods? 
Not a whole lot actually. Saturdays have become workdays, not full out workdays, but still spending the greater part of Saturday in the lovely lab. Sunday on the other hand is my lazy day. (Grant it, I do have lazy days quite often, but on Sundays sometimes its a miracle if I get dressed). 

What's on my to-do list for this weekend that is not Chemistry related?
  • Go raincoat shopping with B
  • See Kris on Sunday 
  • NOT see He's Just Not That Into You (Because K8 is in Philly and WILL NOT allow me to see it without her!)
  • Out to dinner with B probably

...but...I really should be productive in lab this weekend, I'll fill you in on how that actually goes!

What? No T.V. to talk about? Oh yes ladies and gentlemen (which I should actually put lady and gentleman, b/c let's face it only 2 people are probably even reading this) I have been watching my shows this week! AI is into full swing with Hollywood week, Gossip Girl was an eh-ok episode, and 90210 was FAB. (Privileged was pretty good as well).....
BUT
My absolute favorite this week would have to of course be LOST. 
*Spoiler Alert*
Jin isn't dead!!!!! wooooooooo....how he survived, I have no idea, but my heart melted like butter when young Danielle found him, oh leaping lizards the world is at peace once again.
AND! I knew it, I knew it! Miles was on the island before!...which corroborates my theory that he was the baby in the flashback!
Oh and I totally thought Charlotte was D-E-A-D....soon enough! The sickness is going to get her...

So, one of my 2 readers admit ed that he stopped reading the posts when they started talking about LOST, because he doesn't watch it. So from now on IF I say anything about LOST then I will make sure to save it to the end so as not to lose any readership. :)

Have a great Thursday night! 
(filled with The Office, Grey's and PP [oh and its a crossover episode tonight!])

Group Meeting Thursday!



Well it's Thursday and in my neck of the woods that means...(drum roll please)... GROUP MEETING! 
(If you guessed, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, or The Office then you get an honorable mention).

N-dizzle and J$ were the presenters today and it was a great way to start of the semester! Oxidative Mannich from Chem Comm....not a shabby idea (Chem. Comm. ASAP 2009, I forget the author at the moment...)

Besides GM the rest of the day wasn't too exciting: 
  • The ice is melting and the walk to work was def. less hazardous than yesterday (Oh yes, I totally wiped out and k8 was there to witness). 
  • I set up 2 reactions
  • I tried to figure out my 'green substance' from yesterday with no success
  • Danced to pop music, most notably Beyonce's "Single Ladies", BritBrit's "Womanizer", and some Kanye West ("Heartless" AND "Love Lockdown")
...

Yeah, my life is pretty much the most exciting EVER. 
(I think the # of times k8 laughed at me today was down from yesterday although my dancing is always something that adds to the tally)

No new Grey's, or Office tonight and so I do not have to choose between them...PP and AI are the only shows I'll be watching today

Ooh Ooh Ooh...*New LOST Theory* (Ok, it was by somebody at lostpedia (www.lostpedia.com) Ok, so remember Ellie (the girl watching Faraday with Jughead?) there is a pretty sweet theory that suggests she is actually Ms. Hawking AND AND AND...what if she and Charles Widmore were actually Faraday's PARENTS???? That's right that would mean that Penny and Daniel are halfsies...think about it...could be??!!!???

Ok, so I'm thinking there needs to be some kind of theme days (Remember spirit week from the days at Sweet Valley High???? ...or whatever High School you might have attended). I'm thinking something to the effect of 'Talent Tuesday'  or something, I don't know, it's just a baby idea at the moment...but perhaps it could develop into something...

 *sigh*  

Ok, all for now...Goodnight and Good luck....ok, so maybe there will be another post tonight, but signing off for now :)
