Listening to: "Hao Jiu Bu Jian" - 5566 (translates to "Long Time No See")Work is still going slowly, which is good b/c I've been staying up late from hanging w/ Becky, Amanda, and Jen. I'm gonna start calling us the movie room girls (although we might create our own girly movie room).
Thursday, Becky and I made lemon bars, and we stayed up late talking about various things like fears, intuition, BakerShake, and romance novels. On the subject of romance novels, Becky and I are trying to get Amanda and Jen hooked on the Dark-Hunter series. I don't know if Amanda will be as eager since she's into historical romances (I like vampires and paranormal stuff ;P). Becky and I have agreed that between the both of us, we'll get all of Sherrilyn Kenyon's paranormal books. If any of y'all are curious, check out Hunter Legends (her books are divided up into Dark Hunter, Were Hunter, and Dream Hunter).
Yesterday, in celebration of X-men 3, I put together an outfit that was my interpretation of Rogue when she's not in uniform. It wound up looking kind of like something she actually wore in one scene of the comics. I'll try to get my pics uploaded this weekend. One day I'll get around to making an actual X-men costume, but the question is who I would be. Anyway, I had to explain to my co-workers in lab on why I had white streaks in my hair. After work, we had Asian food night. All of the girls decided to cook for the guys...okay it was really more for ourselves. ^_^ We had dumplings, sushi, chicken teriyaki, salmon shirayaki, sponge cake, and Jello. Then we watched Airplane. It was fun doing this together; maybe we should do it every weekend.
Quotes of the day:
"I was wondering why you would want white streaks in your hair when you're going to get them anyway...it's the nanotubes." - Vanaja, who had never heard of X-men (she's from India) and seen me assume the duty of taking care of the nanotube flies
"Psycho-ass? Hmm, I like that." - Zarek in Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Hangin' w/ the ladies
