Animal Practice: Eeeeeeh. I was excited about the concept of the show.... but the execution of it is gross, so far. OMG so much unethical behavior. As much of a douchebag as Mr Waxman is in the pilot, he should sue the vet for stealing his dog and performing unauthorized surgery. Uuuuuuugh.

I was bummed to find the subscription requirement because that was definitely not advertised. But I haven't had any trouble with the feeds any more than the live coverage on TV (whihc has occasionally been garbled and weird. Especially Sunday.)

powerfulcheese04

You can watch live streaming of all events online with a cable/satellite/whatever subscription that includes msnbc and cnbc (As most do, I believe).

Just watched the women's synchronized diving... and I get all teary eyed when the athletes get all teary eyed and overwhelmed when the scores came up and they won silver!

I think a lot of people keep collections as "nostalgia triggers." A lot of people also just keep collections of things they think are cool. Collecting serves different purposes for different people. I collect owl figurines. The collection started because my undergrad mascot is the owls, so...

I just made Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcakes.

They are as amazing as they sound!

(Also, buttercream frosting is approximately 100 million times easier in a stand mixer than with a whisk or a hand mixer. Hand mixer frosting is epic fail and whisk frosting is at least 24 hours of sore arms.)

I haven't signed up for any yet, but I might! I have to say, though, that OF COURSE my alma mater (Rice) is offering a course on nanotech. ETA: Oh my gosh, Hutch is offering a course on "Chemistry: Concept Development and Application." He was the Master of my residential college (think wha...

I just got a new washer and dryer for about 30% off, all told. Our dryer must have heard us being pleased that we'll get a paycheck every week (we get paid on different 2 week cycles) because it does today. Given that I paid 150 for the pair 3 years ago (and the guy I got them from paid 300 4 years ...

I just read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn in less than 24 hours. Such a page turner!

I need some help, Kimmie would be great but any help is appreciated. We have two female cats. Monkey is 5 and Yoyo is 4. Their litter box is in the basement. Monkey just started pooping in the opposite area of the basement from where her box is, same spot every time. She did this a few times, so we...

Paychecks!

I got my first paycheck this week! For a month of work. Yay money!

(Though, boo taxes! The government definitely doesn't do 30% of my wages worth of stuff for me!)

Did you watch Top Chef? Justin reminds me of a softer, gentler Marcel. He does really crazy stuff with food and just enjoys being himself. I loved last episode where Marty was freaking out about dusting too much chocolate on something and he runs up with a dish towel and is all "REMEMBER MY TIP...

powerfulcheese04

I love Justin.

I hate Nicky, Martita and Marty.

I find Malcolm boring.

I think Yvon is kind of interesting. I like how chill Ippy is.

I don't like Michelle.

Overall, I'm a little underwhelmed with this season.

powerfulcheese04

I really enjoyed the Trickster books, but found the next set (Beka Cooper) really offputting.

powerfulcheese04

I say it that way too, Alea and Nomi.

powerfulcheese04

I really wish I could blow my first pay check! But... bills. We are going to go out to a nice dinner and I think I'll buy myself a new Fossil purse. Granted, I'm not sure I could bring myself to spend my whole pay check on something! I've never bought anything as expensive as my whole pay check (at ...

powerfulcheese04

You look hot, Alea.

Adam and Renee, your wedding looks beautiful! Have a happy honeymoon and a happy life.

Thank you! I'm looking to add some strength training to my life and I've been having trouble deciding what to do. There isn't a gym close to me (and I don't know what to do on any of the machines anyway) and I don't have the money/commitment yet for a personal trainer. Reading strength training exer...

Kelly, where did you get your workout plan from?

The creek at the end of our backyard is full of fireflies. I love love love watching them.

Being a veterinarian!

Apparently, last night I found the most awkward possible position for my neck then stayed in that position for the entire night. I woke up with this incredible pain in my neck. It hurt to move. It hurt to sit up this morning. I didn't realize how much bending is involved in feeding my pets in the mo...

I also can't imagine a place without central A/C. Everything at home had central air, everything we looked at in NC had central air.

June 3. I wanted earlier but we needed time for all the paperwork to come in

powerfulcheese04

Dear Bob, Seriously, I need to start working. I am bored out of my mind with this stay at home wife thing. I don't even have kids to take care of or anything. I can only clean so many things, cook so many things or watch so many episodes of TV (I'm in Season 5 of HIMYM, which I just started watching...

powerfulcheese04

Oh my God, Kelly. Me too. In a desperate, disgusting, completely guilty way.

powerfulcheese04

Dear Bob, Sorry for disappearing for a while there. My life got super crazy busy. I graduated from vet school. I am officially a doctor now! Definitely haven't gotten used to that yet! My brother graduated from college, which nobody expected to actually happen. My husband, my parents and I drove 110...

I thought there were only 2 seasons of downton out yet?

powerfulcheese04

Alea, I've been eating toasted buttered English muffins with just a touch of strawberry jam for breakfast lately! Delicious!

powerfulcheese04

Dear rest of the crap I own,

Please neatly place yourself in the remaining boxes strewn around my apartment. You're getting a little overwhelming!

Love,
Your owner

This makes me feel kind of like a bad person... but... I wish I had lied to my aunt. You see, my dad has this sister. We have not seen her since I was 12 or 13. She kind of regularly goes completely off the deep end. She also hits up both her brothers for money and gets really mad when they won't gi...

powerfulcheese04

Kelly, I am so so so so so excited for you!

Thumbs down: Money is a little tight right now, between bills, rent payments, the way nate's paychecks fell and moving expenses.

Thumbs up: I sold a textbook I was going to give away for $75. Now I can buy the Harry Potter ebooks for the trip!

powerfulcheese04

I love it Shannon! It's beautiful!

I really want to make a t-shirt quilt.
