one more miracle

This weekend just whizzed by! It didn't help that I spent Saturday afternoon in the lab, but still. Whoosh! Bye! In five minutes it's Monday! *hands*

I'm still devouring The Big Bang Theory. Every time the theme song starts up I clap and sing along because it's SO CATCHY. "We built a wall - we built the pyramids!" *dances around* Toward the beginning of the song, does it say "The autotrophs began to drool"??? Ahahaha. OH SHOW. Penny's baffled and fond tolerance is so adorable. I feel you, girl! ♥ I just watched the one where Sheldon gets sick and the guys avoid him at ALL COSTS. Hilarity.

Today I went to see HBP again. In the process of discussing it with my uncle and cousin, I discovered that my uncle and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on some things. He thinks that Twilight is a great movie, while the Harry Potter movies have been largely "yucky" (though he did like this one). UM!?! Uhhhh yeah. *facepalm*

I enjoyed it again, though I still acutely feel the lack of a more climactic ending. (I read the end of book 6 when I got home and I would have LOVED to see that on screen.) Basically I spend a lot of the movie gazing at Hermione with great fondness. She's SO PRETTY. My crush is epic. I know I can't be 100% straight because I crush SO HARD on female characters, and often can't wrench my eyes away from them - Hermione, Faith, Scully, STARBUCK. We watched Razor today (the BSG movie) and Starbuck is relatively minor but she always captivates me! Basically, I tend to fangirl male-male (and sometimes male-female) relationships, but my crushes are very very often on the gorgeous, competent women. Love love. ♥

When I was in the lab on Saturday, Ashley (coworker) showed up and I found out that one of our labmates had been in a terrible motorcycle accident. He was hit by a car and his leg got terribly crushed, as well as a lung punctured. He was in surgery then, but I haven't heard anything since because I don't know him pretty much at all and I don't want to pester anyone, so I suppose I'll find out tomorrow. I hope he's okay. :(

I'm mostly posting just to post. I always feel weird when I go longer than a day without posting! Sorry I really don't have much to say. I am caught up on my flist though, for now!

Oh, one thing I can share! This adorable apocalyptothon story: The Chainsaw Job by annerbhp. It's a short, adorable Leverage story about how they'd deal with the zombiepocalypse. Love!

Happy Mother's Day!! I know there's a lot of strong, awesome moms on my flist, and I just want to say I respect you so hard, and you are all amazing. I hope you had a lovely day. ♥ I sent my mommy a card and a gift certificate for a 30 minute massage, so I hope she enjoys that :)

My day was pretty intense. My friend Dierdre has been single-handedly planning and running this charity drive called Dump N Run, where we put boxes in all the dorms and public buildings, and students put stuff they dont want anymore in them as they're moving out of college. We collect all the stuff, sort it, and sell it in a big community yard sale. So all last week I went around gathering boxes almost every day, lugging stuff to my car and dragging it into the sports center where we were storing it. Yesterday I worked for 6 hours gathering the last of the stuff (it took me and Matt 4 trips in his Jeep from ONE dorm building) and helping to sort it in the gym. We ended up with unbelievable piles of stuff - a couch, some armchairs, several desks, a couple bookcases and dressers, a kitchen table set, hundreds of pounds of clothes of all sorts, four entire tables full of food (like soup, oatmeal, granola bars, those kinds of things), four tables of shoes, and lots of miscellania. So today I woke up at 8 to help Dierdre make and put out signs, then the sale started at 12. By 11, people were already lining up, and at 12 there were at least 50 people in line, probably more. When we opened, it was a flood! Within 45 minutes, 90% of the stuff was gone, leaving mostly crap. We made - wait for it - at least $1800. Yay!!!! I was so proud of Dierdre, and glad that I'd taken part, but oh boy I'm exhausted. I have a bad back, so the six hours yesterday of standing and lifting completely did a number on it, and even ibuprofen and icing isn't really doing anything. Bah. Oh well, it was a good thing to do, and the money's going to the local Domestic Violence Services and a food kitchen. Yay!

Michelle and I came home and collapsed around 1:30. We watched two episodes of Leverage to relax, as you do! Elliot, I love your FACE, and OH HARDISON!!! How are they so amazing? Parker is absolutely growing on me too, especially after the episode with the orphans. "We're more than a team." AWWW team. *draws hearts* My main stumbling block with this show is that I just... don't like the two older leads, Timothy Hutton especially. He is frequently ridiculous in the bad way and almost never funny and I spend most of his screen time rolling my eyes. But whatever! Little team kids! A little crazy and dorky and badass and snarky! A millllllion hearts.

We then got a craving for Christian Kane so we watched two random Angel episodes, first Disharmony because it was on the disc (HARMONY *hearts*) and then... the one with the Evil Hand!!!1!!1, I forget what it's called. Now of course I'm listening to Kane because Christan could croon to me ALL DAY, unf. Where is his next album?! Sigh.

Michelle made tasty pasta with salmon and pesto sauce, and then she went to bed, so now I'm just chillin on my couch doing NOTHING. This would be even more awesome if my back wasn't killing me, but as it is it's pretty damn awesome. \o/ I am almost a million percent done with college! YAY!

La la la I'll stop rambling at you. Maybe I'll finish the SPN fic I've been reading - I know! Amazing! :D
