Huzzah Science Nerds!

I'm not sure if I've gushed over my Micro class enough, because I love it, and all the random shit I'm learning. Once you get over the fact that in 3 weeks of class we're still working on basic anatomy of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells , learning about all the bacteria and viruses that cause disease is fun. Although, I can see how this class would make anyone misophobic, I mean yeah, we all know that "germs" are everywhere, (and they are) and mostly thanks to our BRILLIANT plan to keep everything squeaky clean and the overuse of antibiotics we are in fact creating more and more antibiotic resistant bacteria.

But, before you go and scrub down the counters and flip out, remember, we've survived how long without the use of antibiotics? Seriously.

You do have to marvel at how good at surviving prokaryotes are though, they're everywhere and in everything and have managed to adapt and evolve and even pass their antibiotic resistance between species. Thats really cool!

Yes, I really am a science geek.

And my roommates insane giggling over fanfiction is starting to frighten me... time to go hide in my room and pack for a weekend at home in Seattle.

Allison? Why do you own a sword?


Well, my random purchase of an unsharpened full sized katana has turned out to be a good investment. Not for combat or anything like that, but for retrieving scissors from behind refrigerators. I'm sure I'll be yelled at for improper use of a sword, but it worked. :D

In other news, my Mirco exam sucked, or at least the essay/FIB portion. I'm also once again out of things to read and will be stopping by a bookstore ASAP to try and remedy that.

A Smith away!

Seasonal bipass

Well, its summer, and we've completely missed spring. Its in high 80's to low 90's for the past few days which makes walking to class HELL. The only good thing is that the tomatoes we have planted and our basil is sprouting. Huzzah!

My microbiology class is fun but i've got an exam tomorrow, which i don't want to take. Blargh. I just want to sleep.

I also haven't worked on my painting at all. Which makes me a bit sad, but it will, eventually get done.

worst way to wake up...

it has happened before. Its never pretty. There were some interesting noises, swear words, and the throwing of heavy objects. Looming isn't appreciated.

One down...

Calculus Final is over and done with. No more finals until Friday, but i need to start studying ASAP. HATE finals. Didn't work much on my painting this weekend, was too lazy. Its also WARM outside, which is strange and should only last another day or so. Blargh. I need to sleep.

Huzzah for ART!


This is the idea I had, you can't see too much of the details, but scale patternings are like the moon. Painting is in the "current project" sidebar!

Oh Supernatural...how I've missed you...


Seriously, my thursdays haven't been complete without loud parties across the way and Sam and Dean Winchester kicking supernatural ass. As well as the glorious crack lines that always seem to appear.


"You've got to be gay for that poor, dead, intern."


Tis glorious. Hee... Ghostfacers...oh the nerds... And as an added bonus! The Winchester boys to drool over!
