exsequar: ([ST] Chris blue-eyed imp)
So I just watched Ocean's 13 for the first time in a while and ADLKFJDLSFSAFDLKN I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Ahem. It just gives me such unadulterated giddy glee! The plot is so cheeky and clever. I love how if you watch it a second time, you realize that they basically told you the surprise ending ahead of time, but they talk about it so vaguely that you don't realize! It's all just incredibly clever. My favorite bits that I noticed this time were: when the random guests were getting their payouts, one guy at the cash-in counter was the bouncer guy who "beat up" Danny in the first movie! HEE! And my other favorite bit was when they were talking about the Susan B. Anthony, one of the brothers asked Saul "Would you go through that for 10 million?" And he says "No. But I'd do it for 11!" And then at the end of the movie the payout is 11 million! HEEHEE. Oh boys, how so adorable?! <33333

And of course, of course, there's Danny and Rusty. Boys of my heart, omg. Whenever George is on screen, I get a little tingle; when Brad is, I get a BIG tingle; and when they're on together, well. Let's just say this movie inspired me to go hunting for some of my favorite Danny/Rusty fic. AHHHHH ILTHEM. I love how they sometimes speak like they're the same person, absolutely no space between where one leaves off and the other picks up. They're SUCH an old married couple, and it makes me gleeface.

I love revisiting old fannish flames, it makes me happy in my heart. :D

Tomorrow I'm going to visit my most favoritest cousins! Yay! I'll probably be up there Saturday night, but I have to come back some time pretty decent on Sunday so I can... go into the lab! Of course. I have to seed bacteria, seed yeast, and finish a peptide (maybe). Life is exciting! I also had a couple really interesting meetings with my professor today. He has this massive question he wants to answer, but he honestly doesn't know the best way to go about it! So we had two big brainstorming sessions, and I think I contributed at least somewhat. Every time I do I feel very pleased with myself. This whole period feels a little bit like a trial run, you know? No matter how much I want to join this lab, he also has to want to HAVE me, so I feel like I'm trying to prove that I can handle it every time we talk. And so far I think I've been doing pretty good with that! But anyway, with the project, we bounced around at least 5 different approaches today, and it's all kind of overwhelming. It will probably end up being a multipronged attack, but next week I'm going to try the simplest (and roughest) and see how things go. Science! How exciting!

I know I keep talking about it, but it honestly feels amazing to love going to work every day. I'm going to ride the buzz as long as it lasts! :D
