    Reunions and Chick-fil-A

    This week must be our week to meet up with old friends.

    We won “free chicken for a year” at Chick-fil-A. Lindsay entered our names the last time we went, and we got a call yesterday telling us we won. They gave us 52 free combo meals. So, we’ll get to go every other week together for free! That’s worth like $250 if you think about it. We’ll definitely make good use of them.

    You're So Vain

    I told Lindsay that I want to put up some random thoughts, funny comments, etc. from our lives to keep interest up in our blog. So, here’s my first random thought…

    You know the song “You’re So Vain”? I hate the song for various reasons but the main one is this… She is singing to some guy who she thinks is selfish, vain, etc. and says, “You’re so vain. You probably think this song is about you. Don’t you? Don’t you?”

    The statement is dumb on multiple levels, namely that the song IS ABOUT HIM!

  • My research advisor, Dr. Cooks, was on an online radio show yesterday called “Science and Society.”

    You can listen to it here.

    He was interviewed about the basics of our field, mass spectrometry, and its applications. Listening to it may provide some understanding about the basics of mass spec and what our group does specifically. However, I must warn you that the interviewers’ questions were not very good…I wouldn’t have even known how to answer them. ( :

    Damage Control

    Alright…my dearest husband is trying to turn our blog into a big mass of dorkiness, so I’m intervening.

    He said that if I wanted it to have different content, then I had to add it.

    So…here I go…

    Umm…

    Well…

    A Disappointing Ending

    The Colts had such a good season, only to be followed up with a sucky ending. They were totally thrown out of sync all game on both sides of the ball. You have to give credit to the Steelers…Their blitzing schemes and running game were excellent today.
