one man show
ok so. about an hour after the last post I went to take a shower and get ready for the wedding. I was at a hotel and flipped through a bunch of sec football games I don't care about until I finally settled on 'what not to wear' on t.l.c. (people nominate their frumpy friends to be on this show so basic cable can tell them they need to improve how they dress. nevertheless, it would be awesome to get lots of new clothes. though... having your 'friends' nominate you has to be insulting).
anyhow, I had been pmsing all day (the sad kind not the mad kind) and I actually started to tear up at the end of the show when the inspirational music starts in low and the person is so happy about how they dress now. she was like, "I'm so happy about how I look... I'm a whole new person!" and I was like, "I'm... so.... happy..." then realized this was no good because I was going to a wedding, where people (at least women) have free range to cry and I had just set the bar really low.
but I kept it together and had a wonderful time. kelly looked beautiful and the reception was at a country club with an open bar and t.v.'s (but not sports bar esque. they were in the corner) so I could keep tabs on the usc and ucla games (mainly the ucla one because they were playing washington).
Lastly, new KT Tunstall (love!) album came out 2 weeks ago and I've been listening to it non stop because
1. she's a woman artist
2. she's scottish (watch out for her adorable british teeth in music video... precious!)
3. her songs have lots of instruments (i.e. more than a guitar), but the guitar part is usually easy to play so I feel way competent if/when I play her stuff
This is the video for "Hold On"- not my favorite song, but the only one with a music video on youtube (not an acoustic set, etc.)

drastic fantastic
I'm in Spokane, Washington for a wedding this weekend. It's pretty, but chilly. To me, if it's sunny outside it should automatically be warm. apparently the bay area observations don't hold outside that system.
classes continue. i love guitar still, yoga makes me sore, econ is full of pompous boys, mechop is interesting but way too much work, my two design classes are bearable and not much work, computational methods (matlab) is evil and my directory on the usc server is down so I couldn't submit my homework. I wish I had a hugger, like a professional hugger I could summon by snapping my fingers or just inadvertently pouting. and he'd come over and be like, "it's ok" and i'd be like, "really? *pouts*" and he'd be like, "yes. i promise" gosh, he doesn't even need to physically hug me. verbal hugs count too.
such is the sad little lonely life i lead.

my bitter pill to swallow
first- i love the indigo girls, my guitar class, and my new ability to play "ghost" by the former. seriously incredible- who knew?
second- I made an awesome joke today that you may not get if you're older than me. So, I'm in mechop and we're talking about uncertainty in a function of multiple variables/inputs (so like how much error is in your calculation if each term has its own uncertainty) and our professor shows us a taylor expansion of the terms involving higher derivatives he just wrote "h.o.t." for "higher order terms" instead of writing them all out
later in the derivation he said they would just drop out entirely since they get so infinitesimally small. and I turned to loni (adx sister, mech eng, in 3 of my classes) and said, "he just dropped it like it's hot. literally." and snickered to myself substantially. it would have been funnier if it hadn't been an 8 a.m. class and if loni hadn't been half awake. oh well, I'll take what I can get. in my heart I know it was a hilarious joke.

slide away
danielle, whitney, and I went to new ralph's last night. no kidding:
Danielle, upon pulling out a shopping cart: "ALL OF THE WHEELS TOUCH THE GROUND!"
we have been living in darkness for so long...

sugar free
I'd like to share with you some text from a handout in my mechoptronics class, about technical reports:
Some characteristics of Reports:
1. Everybody hates to write them.
2. Everybody hates to read them.
3. Almost nobody does read them.
4. They take a HUGE amount of time to write.
5. They are absolutely CRUCIAL to YOUR success in engineering.
WHY!?!?!?!

silver lining
um... there is a new ralph's. I can't (easily) bike there- it's on 9th (I live on 29th). But um, it's basically amazing.
And I really want to learn how to cook. Some people can see random ingredients and then put them together in their mind and somehow come up with a dish. So far this has eluded me, but I want to get better! And rachael ray will help me. I choose the recipe, take stock of what I have, then get to a grocery store. I like cooking! and then enjoying it with someone! I made a florentine- which is like a quiche- lots of spinach, and eggs, and some onions. and some cream. it was delish and I'm so proud when I think of it. or eat it, there still some left in our fridge.
So now I just need lab rats- people to enjoy my very slow cooking with me (no slow cooking like a crock pot, I mean I cook very slowly because I'm not good yet). and then to eat it slowly on our back deck. and to soak in the evening and pretend we don't have work to do. You'd think people would be lining up to do this! but somehow they aren't. it's just me and rachael for now.
