the past few days

Well, in terms of my summer blogging it's been a while, but not much else to say.
My birthday was good! Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes (:
Check it:
-my parents took me out to dinner for my birthday
-my mom bought me a slice of a cake & a cannoli from the pastry section of Papa Joe's
-Zach bought me lunch for my birthday
-Vanya bought me a fruit tart & strawberry cheesecake...for my birthday
-Nick baked me a pie...also for my birthday
-my Dad is the only person who gave me something other than food. hahahah are you guys trying to say something??

So I've been sick for the past two days...I've been more sick within the past eightish months than I have been in years, combined. wtf is up w/ that?

Other than that, I think they FINALLY opened up the moat around deRoy! or it flooded hardcore, but I doubt that since it hasn't rained in a while & it was never flooded when it was raining before. However, they did pull a slight fail when they failed to clean up all the rotting leaves, cigarette butts & everything else that's been chilling there since the beginning of time
...and that's most def the best side of the moat. It has potential to be pretty, but it just looks like a mess as of now.


Something funny I thought to leave all of you with (name spelled mnemonically according to one of our post docs from China & number completely wrong). Found this afternoon on the wall of my lab! Btw, this isn't meant to be malicious or anything, I just enjoyed it.
NOTE: edited out the numbers of everyone else, can't have you kids stalking them! (:

Oh yeah, today I rediscovered the fun of paper bag lunch puppets...Zach just gave me a weird look. Though in all fairness to me, there was a hole where the "mouth" would be so I had lots of fun sticking my pinky through it so every time my puppet opened its mouth there would be a tongue sticking out. I thought it was fun. well okay, clearly.


Updated: This is why I love my brother hahah what a jerk
