Own goal

Well, that kinda sucked.

Let's go with some good news (kinda like the OT one, but honestly, I can't come up with 6 things.

For Mr Bob: His very last experiment worked perfectly and his boss grabbed his labbook and another prof to discuss the results and hopefully that paper will be sent off by the end of the month.

For myself: I am not a gloryhound. My labmate and I had a good discussion (actually a series over a couple weeks) and came up with a great theory. I had a meeting with my boss that afternoon (he had tasked me with thinking through this issue the previous day). I brought my labmate to the meeting because the theory is as much his as it is mine and I wanted my boss to know that. Boss was thrilled with both of us.

(Of course, by next month, it will be his theory, but hey, what can you do?)

For a friend : He kinda invited a girl to an event and she came. I'm thrilled for him. Nice guy, terrified of women, would like a girlfriend. This may not be the romance of the century, but it makes me happy to see him doing something.

Which reminds me, I love reading about T-Kitty's plan to move to a place where her and hubby will be happier.

Update: I have contacts and I can see you!

I can also see what I look like without glasses. I have a lot more wrinkles than I thought I did.

Yay for contacts! Next step- lasik!

I had my lasik surgery, hmmm, 3 years ago? Wow. It doesn't seem like that long. Anyhoo, it is total awesomeness. I used to be blind as a bat and now I barely even remember that I used to wear glasses and contacts.

I would love to have lasik. I think I will get it in a few years.

SO you mentioned Lightsy in your blog, and I clicked on your linky to her, and it took me to a DC Birding Blog??

Go figure...

Congrats on the contacts!

Ahhhh

I took my contacts out.

That was a tramatic experience.

Well, it's the blog entry that was supposed to be apt.

Sadly, it did not come to pass.

*weeps*

By the way, that previous bit of yammering was about lightsy's link.

It's definitely hard to win when you shove the puck into your own goalie's skates, then watch him carefully back the puck into the goal.

I thought Ray Emery played poorly last night. And I'm a goalie and would normally blame the defense!

Yup, Emery kinda blew it last night. 6 goals (well, 5 if you don't count the own goal) is pretty bad.

But overall, he had played so well to get them there and so amazing in game 2 (when his team did nothing to help him).

I think it really sucks for him to go out with 6 goals against in his last game.

Oh well, he can weep in his Hummer (or maybe his Lamboughini)
