The Real World: Austin in Boston
I'm in Boston and my friend Danielle and I ran into Melinda and Danny from the Real World: Austin!!! Yes I am a dork because I know who they are. But it was funny. And yes, I am in Boston, if anyone wants to recommend something fun for me to do, its my first time here and I don't really know the area. Also if anyone wants a giant stuffed lobster, please let me know, there seems to be an abundance here.

Pennsic 34 pictures
Pennsic 34 started with getting out of my car and immediatly going over to Gabriel's bar next door for a drink. They were like, fruity, creamy, what do you want? And I said I just drove 6 hours, give me something hard and fast. So after tasting my concoction, I realize that it contains ethanol (only because i'm a scientist and use it at work). This makes me completely obliterated in T minus 5 minutes within my arrival. Don't remember much other than waking up to 100 degree heat with the biggest headache EVER. Then they give me a bloody mary to ease the pain. Hmmm how else can I explain the many things that went on, how about with pictures: This is where we lived:  ( The Mayhem continues.. ) Current Mood:  excitedCurrent Music: Massive Attack - Angel | | Friday, August 19th, 2005 | | 6:12 pm |

Uzz happy pennsic happy penguins meow meow happy new hair meow
I need to stop fussing with my iPod and fucking PACK!!!!! I am the worst procrastinator ever.. So sexy_pink came over and did my hurr for Pennsic last night. She is soooo great, we had fun watching the surgery channel and some poor girl who was born without a face. She did a great job and i love it. I think i'm the only girl with extensions giving presentations on human codon optimization to associate directors of pharmaceutical companies. I'm at the point where I think i've proven myself so why worry about what I look like, no one seemed to mind anyway. I can't explain how very very happy I am lately! I know its because I have such great friends (esp. those who make me smile with Billy Madison quotes hehehe) and I'm super excited for Pennsic this year. I didn't even eat lunch today, and i had so much energy. I just feel great. Ooh and I'm also excited that converta is coming to party with me in Philly allllll the way from Germany next month!!! I promise to show you a good time baby!! We will UZZZ until we cannot UZZ anymore!!!!!!! Tomorrow I can drink and be free and dance and be with my Pennsic family!!!!!!!!!!

meow meow update meow
So today i'm off work!!!! And I'm exercising in the basement on our elliptical trainer and watching Mr. Rogers. I remember how the only part of that show I liked was the land of make believe. So let me give you a synopisis of today's episode *in case you missed it*! King Friday's trolly was disguised as a school bus and Prince Tuesday was very excited and King Friday decided to build a school in the land of make believe because up until then, I guess they didn't have one. So King Friday put two people in charge of building the school in 3 DAYS! So they went all around town asking people where they should build the school. They went to the mole guy and the weird lady with the big red nose and X, the blue owl in the tree and my favorite charachter Henrietta Pussycat the meow meow cat meow meow. Someone decided to build the school outside of town so the kids feel like they are going to work like their parents. So the workers went to another town called "Somewhere Else", population 2. There they happened to find Harriet the cow who was a certified teacher. The told King Friday their decision and he was hesitant to let Prince Tuesday travel so far to "Somewhere Else". But reluctantly agreed. Queen Sarah really had nothing interesting to say, but I enjoyed listening to her voice, as it sounds like a heavy set black man trying to sound like a woman. The end. ps - thank you Jos and Anita for helping me burn 420 calories by creating the Soilbleed EP, its GREAT to work out too!

Sleep Queen
What's new in Jade-land? I got into a major knock down all out screaming match with my father a few days ago. It was about money and how I'm a horrible heartless bitch of a daughter who never calls or could care less about him or his health. I won't get into the details. But he has refused to help me anymore with my college bills, saying that he paid for my kindergarten, paid for my high school, paid for this and that and now he's done paying for me. Now its my turn to take care of him. And he compares me to his co-workers daughters who are so caring and call all of the time and this and that. Well there are too many skeletons in his closet to for me to even bring up why I don't act like a normal caring daughter, I have my reasons and they are good ones. Eric and I broke into our community pool and went skinny dipping last week. It was great. I had to climb a fence bigger than me though and now i'm covered in bruises. We must do it again, it has to be a warm night though! We've been busy preparing for Pennisic, I can't believe it will be my 6th year and me and Eric's 5th year going together. Each year I get more prepared and better organized and this year I have so many clothes I didn't sew ONE THING this year! We are camping next to Gabriels Landing which should be fun because they're a bunch of Army dudes who bring a full bar with glassware in the woods! Hmmm what else.... Oh, I've been working 10 hour days at work and going crazy. I had to prepare my first research poster where I'm the first author for poster day. So I changed the colors on the template from blue and white to bright candy pink and green. Then when I got the poster back from the printers it was bigger than me! So I had to stand there in front of my 6 foot pink poster for 3 hours while people walked by an asked questions. It was very tiring! OH and the other night I slept for 15 hours! Might have something to do with my work schedule or work stress. I am the official sleep queen. Current Mood:  okayCurrent Music: Coldplay - X&Y | | Sunday, July 17th, 2005 | | 7:30 pm |

Hurricane Dennis
We are headed to Wildwood this weekend with Lori and Vince! I'll do my best to stay out of the sun, wish me luck! Eric made this but was inspired by Karen's version which I'll post later because I only have it at work. Its Hurricane Dennis - featuring my friend/co-worker Dennis.

I'm so tired, we had such a long weekend! Friday we got lost going to Flux *my fault* and got there just before it closed, Saturday we drove to Asbury Park for Viva's show at Asbury Lanes. I loved Asbury lanes, its an old bowling alley and they had the band set up right on the lanes, lots of good rockabilly music. We met up with Miss Biyana who I haven't seen in a year I think! and her friend Mark. I met some of Vivas other models including Susi who is from Atlanta, she is really sweet and silly. Viva was so much fun to party with, I love that girl. We got a little drunk, a little crazy and didn't get home til dawn! I tried to convince everyone to run naked on the beach, we were only a block away, but Asbury Park is no Ocean City, so it might not have been the safest idea. But come on, is there anyone else out there who likes to be spontaneous?!! I also ran into Courtney, an old friend I haven't seen in 5+ years. Carrie, Corey and I used to hang out with her, she didn't know that Carrie died, so I told her and that was weird. But Courtney lives in Asbury Park and has been desiging corsets, she is so cute and sweet I really want to see her again. So Saturday definately made up for Friday! And I don't have anything bad to say about Flux, it was just an off night and Eric and I were mad for getting lost, but its a great space, great music and I love Schmitty and Lea, they are good people. So support them!! I'm never satisfied with my hair, I think every time I do it I learn what to do or not to do.

Just got back from our yoga class and we had the drill sergeant teacher today. She turned the heat up so high I had to do everything I could to keep from running out of there screaming. It had to be well over 100 in there. But that is why I do it. I need something that will push myself and take myself away from being comfortable. All day I walk and sit and its a perfect temperature. But how can you really live or really feel unless you can test the limits of your mind and body? This practice takes me to the edge of what I can physically do every time, I think nothing of work or problems, just focusing on my ability to go beyond what I thought was possible. I imagine it is a similar concept to suspensions, realizing the limits or non-limits of what you can do.. It also reminds me that life is not easy and nothing comes easy, everything worth having requires hard work and patience. In July, they are doing Asthanga yoga by the ocean in Avalon. I really want to go, but I'm afraid of, as Crudelia puts it, "the damned ball of fire" against my pale skin. The class is a 2 hour intensive from 10AM to 12:00. Anyone know the highest possible number sunblock they make now? I am absolutely in LOVE with my new Oil 10 CD, Arena. It is some of the most intelligent and beautiful sounds I have ever heard. I highly recommend it. I would *love* to take some sort of chemical stimulation and sit in a dark room and listen to it. So Eric and are planning our vacation time for the rest of the year and it looks like we're doing a short Pennsic in August, Germany/Amsterdam in November to visit Tom, Nadine, Crudelia, friends and Valerio. And then my Italian princess from Rome is coming to visit me after Christmas! I am so excited for that!!! She is turning out to be so special and I can't wait to show her everything here and introduce her to everyone because this will be her first time ever in the US. Then next year we will visit her in Rome!!! Current Mood: rejuvenatedCurrent Music: Oil 10 - Electric Angels | | Sunday, June 19th, 2005 | | 11:19 pm |
Sexy and Sushi
Today started out very very bad, but ended up OK. We wanted to drive into the city to pick up a CD I had ordered, really quick but it turns out they decided to pave the schulkyll at 1:00 on a Sunday..real smart. So we sat in traffic for 2.5 hours to go 30 miles. It was actually 2 hours to go about 5 miles which made it even worse. I was in park most of the time and we were arguing about how I hate living so far away from the city but actually its not that far, its just that damn road that I hate so much!!! Then the people in front of us started screaming at each other and at their screaming kids, it was actually pretty funny. The guy was yelling at his 3 year old and the wife was calling him a child and I thought they were gonna kill each other. Traffic really brings out the worst in people. It was so bad, people were turing around and driving the wrong way off the on ramp. BUT, it turned out good because we ran into Jessie and her really nice boyfriend so we shopped a bit and then went to visit Adam and Dawn who I haven't seen in forever, but I i missed them so it was good. She helped me to find really cheap but good corsets on ebay. She is the best! If you read through all that boring talk, youre lucky because I want to have this really fancy and swank party at our house where we eat sushi off a naked (preferably Asian) girl. She cannot talk or move, and she must be clean or allow me to bathe her beforehand (hehe)! So if anyone is interested in this or knows someone willing to "perform" for dinner, let me know. I figure in our crowd, there is bound to be someone into this.  Current Mood:  bouncyCurrent Music: Manufactura -Sex and Suicide | | Friday, June 17th, 2005 | | 12:39 pm |

Finally!
EAGLE'S NEST PICTURES! In case you don't remember, the Kehlsteinhaus, or The Eagle's Nest is a home atop a 6000 foot mountain in Berchtesgaden, Germany. The Eagle’s Nest was designed as a birthday present for Adolf Hitler’s 50th birthday by Martin Bormann on behalf of the NSDAP (Nazi Party). Hitler in fact seldom visited the Eagle’s Nest. The allied bombing of World War II did not damage the Eagle’s Nest and thanks to the intervention of former Governor Jacob, the Eagle’s Nest was spared being blown up after the war. Today the Eagle’s Nest remains in its original state. In 1960, on the occasion of the 150th celebration of Berchtesgaden’s incorporation into Bavaria, the Bavarian government relinquished its control of the building to a trust that ensures that the proceeds are used for charitable purposes.

I'm going through separation anxiety from my iPod. I had to leave it at apple after meeting with one of their "geniuses". It was like leaving my cat at the vet. Gonna go exercise in my basement and maybe I'll finally get to finish updating the rest of my Germany pictures from Eagles Nest and Berlin. Current Mood:  anxiousCurrent Music: NONE!!!

I forgot to mention I got a STAR award today at work!!!!! It comes with a little bit o' moolah so thats good too, I'm gonna put it in my UZZ fund so Ericmr and I can go to Europe again this year. What did I get rewarded for, you ask? I have spent countless hours trying to validate the Cedex, this instrument that counts cells, to make it FDA part 11 compliant. And the 2 other jerk-offs that were supposed to help did nothing. So bahahaha to them! Although I love the STAR award, what is even more important to me is my hand-made award from Dennis and savestheworld for "Putting up With the Most Crap."

What went wrong this weekend: Went to Pittsburgh. 5 hour drive, getting changed in a car, go immediately to viewing for Eric's uncle and meet most of his extended famiy for the first time.. at a viewing. Realize that where we are staying is with his cousin and his psycho girlfriend who likes to "pick on new people and exploit their weaknesses", so we decide to stay at a hotel, but no one answers their phone to help us find a place. Go out to dinner with cousin Rachel and she drives us to the wrong hotel, it being $200 a night. We drive around Pittsburgh aimlessly for an hour after midnight, everything is closed, we are lost and can't find a place to stay. Finally beg a taxi driver to help us find a Holiday Inn, find it, no vacancies because the SENIOR OLYMPICS is in town..just my luck. BUT, they did find us a smoking room that smelled like horrible cigars, had 2 tiny beds and an air conditioner that hummed all night and it was still too hot. BUT we DID get the "bereavement rate" because I begged to let us stay because we were only in town for a funeral. Wake up, realize I forgot my hair brush. Realize its an hour earlier after checking out and getting in the car, because the clock was wrong, regret not going to breakfast. Spend 30 minutes trying to get out of the parking garage because I lose the ticket, back up, Eric drives over a cone, removes cone, gets black shit all over his hands (mind you he's wearing a suit with a WHITE shirt). Get in line to leave, realize someone else lost their ticket, watch old people have a clusterfuck trying to back up their cars which took forever. Make it to the second viewing the next day just in time to look extremely akward and have 30 seconds to say goobye in front of crying family members I just met. Its 1000 degrees. Starts raining, realize I forgot my umbrella. Go to Catholic mass, its sad, I see a granddaughter crying. Go to burial, some military ritual is performed, that sad trumpet song played and again, very sad. Go to lunch, drink a toast to Uncle Rege. Say goodbyes, and go home. Change in the car..again. Now its raining, terrential downpouring hurricaining rain. Then HAIL. For 5 hours..... What went good this weekend: I went to a new place I have never been. Supported my husband through a difficult time, even though I complained a lot and I have PMS, and for that I am sorry. Met some of Erics cousins who are really fun and like to drink and party. I learned that Germany is better than the US because you can take the TRAIN everywhere and I HATE HATE riding in the car. I still dont' feel like my life is back to normal yet after coming back from Germany. But its slowly getting there. Current Mood: distressedCurrent Music: Dulce Liquido - Dementia |
