Allerca has come up with a hypoallergenic cat!
They are $4000 and if you order one now, you'll get it in November 2007. Also, you can't choose gender, or color.
More and more, I feel like I'm living in some futuristic sci-fi movie like Gattaca or something. But for cats.
I have to admit, I want one...but it all just seems somehow wrong to me.

This weekend was absolutely awesome.
I got off from school Friday on the verge of tears (things are much worse than even organic chem lab ever was...), so I went to the gym. I think I've been channeling my stress about schoolwork into issues about my body, seeing as I have forbidden myself to worry too much about school.
Then I got home and was too tired to do anything but go to Blockbuster's with Aaron and rent the first disc of the second season of The Office, Aaron's new favorite show overall and my new favorite sitcom-like show.
On Saturday, we went to Ikea to partake of their delicious Swedish meatballs!!! which I was so excited about that Aaron had to tell me to "cool your jets! we're going already!" and also to look longingly at furniture we can't afford. Such as the Ekeskog couch that's $900. boo.
Ikea is quite a trek from Dallas--way up North, and the only way to get there is through a tollway so it took us $2 each way to get there and back. On the way back, we stopped at Kroger's to pick up some potato salad for a potluck birthday party.
At the party, I met Jeff's parents (Jeff is Aaron's housemate's bf), and he introduced me to his dad as "the girl who knew what a stingray was"! At first I thought he was talking about Steve Irwin or something, but then I realized belatedly he meant the Corvette, and was quite flattered. Also, I might now have some chairs for the front porch, as Jeff's dad had some he was trying to give away.
Impressions on people at the party:
--drunk girl
--drunk girl's husband who is not ashamed to mime "blooming" in the interest of winning Cranium.
--guy with Dave Matthews Band shirt who sang Rancid when he saw my shirt. (Aaron thinks this is contradictory, a guy who listens to DMB and rancid, but I do not.)
--little girl who's birthday was in two days who had just been to libby liu's and loved her balloon and didn't want her birthday to end, even though she had just had her birthday party.
--little boy who was scared of Jeff's dad and cried
--Jeff's dad, who was introduced by Jeff as 'Jimmy Buffet' bc of his hawaiian shirt and who told me and Aaron about a yearly car show that they have on the streets in Fort Worth.
Sunday, it rained, so I just had to convince Aaron to go to Target with me just to get out of the house, even though I should have been studying Anatomy. We also met our first new neighbors, a middle-aged gay couple, who seemed quite nice. They worried that they might have been too loud when moving in and setting up their furniture. One of them said, "We almost got a divorce," trying to set up closet shelves from Ikea, which I thought was hilarious.
Halloween is coming!!! What should I be?
We already bought a holographic painting of the Mona Lisa that changes her into a female Dracula in certain angles for $3.99 at CVS, and bought a frame for it for $16.99 at Target. Lol. But it is quite an addition to the living room. I love it.

argh.
"...So, the cell’s currency for being able to use ATP is dependent upon us being able to synthesize huge amounts of ATP and recycle ADP into ATP and AMP into ADP and, um, ATP as well."
I literally spent 20 minutes trying to transcribe this sentence out and figure out what in the world this guy was trying to say. I think mainly, the confusion was caused by his absolute butchering of the definition of the word currency. And the roundabout way he talks.
Worse, that last chunk about AMP and ADP and ATP, he trailed off in a mumble. It was quite frustrating.
I can live without professors with communication problems, speech disorders, and a large vocabulary that they do not utilize correctly.

My boyfriend might be the only white boy I know who has rhythm. You should really see him booty dance to Fergie's London Bridge.
It's an overcast day in Dallas. I know it's warm and muggy, but I'm inside studying right now, and it looks so nice and crisp outside. I feel like wearing a hoodie.
I am looking forward to:
-a bike ride at night to the video store
-getting all these new house chores over and done with
-a month to be over so i can get a bill already in order to apply for a dallas library card
-going to the man made lake with the remote controlled boat
I am thinking about starting to research a novel about the communist takeover in WWII. Biting off more than I can chew? But that's the story of my life!
In related news, this weekend I accidentally got me and Aaron wrangled into a chore--peeling wallpaper at his house. It's really much more difficult than I thought it would be. I thought it would be 30 minutes of satisfying peeling (much like peeling a sunburn...) and so I peeled a bit off, thus ensuring that it would be a task we'd have to finish. But it's turned into a mess of going to home depot for enzyme and scraping, scraping, scraping. I feel like my right bicep is getting overdeveloped.
Anyways, I haven't forgotten about a certain "best of" cd that I'm supposed to be sending off. It's coming, I promise.
