soundtrak: the flaming lips: flight test
so the wedding in hershey was nice. really nice. extremely expensive, we're talking about caviar, nice. both the bride and groom are from kenya, from our tribe, so it was cool.
i wish i could have taken more pictures, but suddenly during the ceremony, my batteries cut out on me and of course, i forgot to bring extra.
during the pre-reception (yes, they had a pre-reception):
the only thing bad about the whole trip was the drive. hershey is about two hours away from us, but since we didn't stay at the actual hotel, we had to drive another two hours for the next one (where they had the after party... yes, they had an after party... this wedding was crazy). dad was trying to get al and i, even timon to drive so bad, but it wasn't going to happen.
and of course, this weekend, lo and behold, i left my camera at home, so i didn't get any pics of mic's last outing with us. we went to downtown silver spring and watched f. 9/11 at the silver theatre. yes, the movie was opinionated, but it really opened my eyes to alot of the things that went on, before, during and after.
maybe it was my mistake to try to talk to bbq right before we went out. well, i didn't want to originally, but the tension was getting to me. 'you know, i'm really upset with you,' i started. to which, he laughed.... HE LAUGHED. 'i'm not laughing,' i told him, but before i could continue, others showed up at the door. i was seething mad in the back of crispy's van driving towards downtown. is there even any point anymore? i don't know what to say to him. i'm so frustrated about the whole thing; i'm at the end of my rope.
but i was talking to JK (yes, i know... i'm amazed too) about the whole thing:
JK: well, you should let him know how you're feeling but don't interpret his actions
JK: he might just not know what to do, but he does need to know how you feel
JK: cause that's important
how right he is. JK and i are at a better place, mostly because he's been receptive to things that i have to say to him. so there's lots of understanding between us now.
now i have to go and do what i have to do.
i decided to stay late at work today. no particular reason; no experiments or anything. so MT (the new postdoc) left before i did today, to which the summer students found quite odd. i was about to leave myself, but they gave me an idea. so, MT and i have this thing... we mess with each other's stuff. i'm meticulous and i like things the way i put them. he'll deliberately come over and turn my bottle opposite or place things in the wrong place, just to drive me crazy. i always retaliate by writing something witty on his bench... i'm just too nice to him and he mocks my niceness by pinpointing all the ways i could have led him awry. so today, the summer students helped me hatch a plan. his bench is a horrible mess, so i did him a favor and cleaned it up a little. oh, and i labeled everything. and i do mean everything. *insert evil laugh here* it took me 45 minutes to get it all done, but i can't wait to see the look on his face tomorrow morning. i got him good!
today, i also called dee, whom i haven't talked to it a long while. she's doing her thing in the world of fashion; she recently had a event in downtown dc. it was nice.
i can't wait for this weekend. i'm visiting my friend SM in philly, that i met while working at GSK. even though it's a weekend, it's the closest thing to a vacation that i can get. i can't forget the camera this time.
hmm. i don't know where this entry came from. i had a totally different idea of how i would write this, but it's ok i guess. it's written.
peace.
