happy friday!

good point :)

but im still curious....

mystery christina

we are trying to figure out a girl named christina who is an '02 and is not an aphi?

i don't think i care enough about alex to put that much thought into it :)

our intern

FYI she is awesome. apparently alex's gf is christina but she wasnt in aphi...thoughts??

he is moving in with her...

the intern (elizabeth) went to lunch with alex today...

cool picture

take more pictures of your apt and post them online!

im in such a cheerful mood today :) i think its finally the cool weather - i just wish it were a bit sunnier but also this cool.

apparently it was big enough . . .

my painting

the pic might be too small to really see but i'm going to try it anyway . . .

this is the painting that i purchased in st. augustine - it looked really small on the wall so edgar and i made a bigger platform/frame to hang it on

hahahahah

i watch saved by the bell like every morning and that took me a second to register....

i want to see if he is coming to ny!

im off to get my nails done...

screech is in rochester!

dustin diamond is performing at a comedy club in rochester this weekend and was on the radio this morning!!!

the mental health afternoon was good :) i did laundry and cleaned and baked and watched movies. at 11, i met up with jess at a cafe and split a bottle of wine. we closed the place then went to my apartment and hung out a little longer. then i called edgar and talked to him for a while - so basically, i didn't get to sleep until 2. i am DYING this morning! lab meeting was horrible - the guy presenting is 1. an idiot 2. speaks in a monotone 3. has a thick spanish accent (no offense jules but it makes it hard to understand when he's discussing his project that i know nothing about) AND at one point they shut off the lights - i was out. it was only an hour and a half long but it was the longest hour and a half of my life . . .

wonderful day so far :)

its only 10 am and ive done so much today!
i went spinning at 630, then came home, cleaned my bathroom, showered, made eggs, dropped my laundry off, and have been at work for over an hour :)

jules have fun in miami!

megan how was your mental health day?

i cant wait to go to boston next week....

they shut off the ac!!!

something broke and they shut it off...its gonna get so hot in here :(

urgh...

i went to the gym :) read another 30 pages of HP. only 200 left...

mental health afternoon

this afternoon, i'm taking time off for my mental health :) i'm going to stay until lunch-ish and then i'm peacing out, i think around 2. i think working 7 days a week is getting to me because i find myself stressing out and getting defensive over things that normally wouldn't bother me. so, i'm going to leave early - since i don't have anything pressing to do - and go to the gym, do some laundry, and bake a coffee cake. of course, its raining out (which i walked through to get here since the bus pulled away as i was running towards it and i didn't want to sit around for another 20 minutes until the next one) i'm still wet. i'm in a good mood though because i know what i have to look forward to in a couple of hours :)

so much fun last night :)

rups and i went out for sushi and then to a small dive bar that was so much fun :) it was nice to catch up about everything for a few hours...

tonight im going to see a broadway show with patty which should be fun. i love going to shows. im glad ive been doing that more these days.

d. e. shaw's keeping us busy

but I'm here, alive and working :) I can't wait for this weekend! I'm heading down to miami thursday after work for jackie's birthday. it feels like the last time I was in miami was ages ago! really, it was only at the beginning of june, but I was getting so used to going every few weeks. anyways, it'll be good to see my parents, especially my mom. she's been really down lately because of some family problems back in colombia, so I'm really looking forward to spending time with her.

other than that, there's nothing new and exciting going on in my life. I've just been feeling kind of blah about everything. I hope spending a weekend in miami snaps me out of that. whatever you guys decide about the wine tour is fine with me. sounds like fun :)

ali

i never saw that - i should add it to my netflix.

any update on the wine tour? if its just us, what about the idea of edgar driving there? would he not be ok with that?

hitch

i thought kevin james was even funnier than will smith - but DAMN will smith is looking good these days! he got all in shape for ali and it looks good on him :)

technical difficulties

im here :)

i reset all my passwords, then rupa gave me my login info and i had changed my password so i wouldnt forget :) of course i forgot...anyway just figured it out :)

i had a good day, crazy morning, but then i went to the gym and ran for 5 miles and lifted some weights. it felt so good. and tonight im having dinner with rupa!

last night i saw hitch. i loved it. i love will smith.

no love today?

edgar drinking

he'll try a little if i say oh, try this one its good.
mostly, he wants to come along to hang out with the people. he actually got annoyed with some chang's people who were like oh, drink this you HAVE TO drink this! because he thinks the whole drinking thing is an example of pluralist ignorance - that it tastes bad and we are all succumbing to peer pressure that is so deeply ingrained we don't even notice it any more. so, he's in theory open to trying wines that i say are good - only white though - because he believes there has to be one out there he could stand. i think he has convinced himself that they all have an alcohol after taste that he doesn't like.

moral of the story - he'll drink something that someone tells him is work trying as long as he feels they have truly thought about it and he can trust them, but not if he feels they are doing it just to get him to drink.

the limo sounds good to me too :)

I'm so excited... if the limo drives us around, then edgar will drink
too? or won't he? I think it would be fun to do the limo thing and it
doesn't sound too expensive if there are ten of us... then maybe we can
convince edgar to have a lil...

that's what i was thinking . . .

the fun thing about the limo is its completely legal for us to drink in between wineries - you buy a bottle of something you liked during the tastings and then pop the cork on the drive to the next place. that's not so legal if edgar is driving . . .
also, i don't know how many people i've recruited. everyone was initially really interested, but gen said she couldn't go and then courtney said she couldn't . . . so i don't know whether matt and his gf will want to go without courtney and gen. butters - from chang's - wants to, but i don't know if he's heard prices. and kelli from the lab was interested, but she's still breast feeding so i don't know whether she's actually going to want to do it . . .
i guess i should send an email out to them and ask for confirmation sooner rather than later . .

how many people are we?

megan if you figure out how many people we are and which one we want, ill hold the reservation on my card and jules, rupa, and whomever the rochester people are can pay me back...

10 passenger limo sounds fun :) it picks you up from your place and takes you there and back? how far is it?

if its just us, what about the idea of edgar driving us around so we can drink? :)

more on wine tours

The rate on the 10-passenger Stretch is $475 plus tip for a six hr wine
tour.
The party bus goes for $650 plus tip for 8 hrs.
Wine tasting fees at the wineries will run about $1-2 per person per winery.
Lunch at one of the wineries $10.
If you would like to make a reservation you may do so by calling in with a
credit card to hold the date.

hi hi

I'm here now :) I had a busy morning with meetings and a lunch thing
but now I'm finally back at my desk. I had a great weekend.. Friday was
fun... didn't get to see nush for very long, but it was a fun night. I
then went to boston which was awesome.. basically hang out with my
parents and sister all weekend.. my parents drove me home yesterday..
and we stopped in jackson heights, queens (little india) for indian food
and then came here. it was really nice.

how were other weekends? jules I'll stop by in a bit to say hi :)

where is everyone?

Girls

such a perfect weekend :)

fri night i hung out with julie and rupa FINALLY! Sat just did nothing by myself all morning, went to the park, went shopping it was great. it was a totally weird feeling to be by myself doing those things but i liked it :) then i went to a comedy show with satyan and his friends which was absolutley hilarious. i think i need to go to those more often. then we went out to dinner, i tried meeting up with the girls but was much happier being asleep by midnight :) i woke up at 7 am on sunday morning since we went to bed so early and satyan and i laid in bed from 7-1 it was so fun :) i learned all the first date stuff i should have learned months ago....

he is amazing :) i cant believe i was starting to think that relationships were just how mine and devs was - dysfunctional to the nth degree...

then i went out with devs brother for lunch, museum etc, went to the gym, then went to satyans to work on our taj mahal puzzle :) that thing is hard!! but its fun to do a project like that with him...

g'morning!

helllooooo darlings!

g'morning

hi girlies- i just saw jules and she looks awesome with her new hair.. and she's all glowy cuz it's friday or something :) nush, i'm excited to see you tonight! megan, what's your plan for the weekend? how's the new apt?

i'm going to boston tomorrow for real this time.. my parents just left to drive up there (they slept over) and i'm taking the bus in the morning. i can't wait :) boston in the summer is super fun.

tgif

if only it were 5 pm....

the show last night was really good :) i love going to them. its so fun to watch him up on stage.

the first time satyan and i really hung out was 5 months ago yesterday - jules, rememebr the night that you and joe were out and came home and he started calling satyan happy cause he had never seen me smile and be giddy like that? that was 5 months ago... i cant believe sometimes how fast time flies

no problem

i want to finish by next week (im either much slower or dont work out as much as Julie - or both) then ill give it to my grandfather and hell def be done by the time the lake house party comes around...

im tired. i want to go home!

harry potter

i haven't read it and don't want to go out and buy the book because i'm not dying to read it . . . so one of you should bring your copy to the lake house so i can borrow it for the month between then and my bday :)

yum

sushi sounds yummi. i just had a grilled chicken salad from this place i love, pita grill. i'm definitely ready for a siesta now. or i would also love to curl up and finish harry potter! i read a bunch while i was at the gym this morning, and now i think i have less than 100 pages to go. it's making it so hard to sit here and concentrate on "real work"

and nush, i'm glad you're feeling better :)

food coma

most of my team went out for sushi today so i didnt get to get my nails done and now im in complete food coma!! oh well it tasted good :)

going out to lunch

i'm off to dinosaur bbq with eun and the minions . . . oh yeah, lots and lots of meat :)

i'm glad :)

i'm glad you are feeling better and you might get a bit of down time in sometime soon :)

phew

that weird feeling is gone. urgh. i talked to him last night and everything was great - talking about work, friends, life, and then it turned to us. i hate that with a passion. it makes me feel mean and it makes me say things that are so direct and hurtful because if i try to dance around the fact that im with satyan and im happy, he just doesnt get it. so at least i hung up the phone (mid conversation saying i didnt want to talk about the same stuff anymore) and realized that that feeling had gone away and i was just being silly.

then this mornign i had the best work out :) the spinning class was so good. my legs are hurting in the good hurting way. during lunch im gonna get a manicure and pedicure :)

im looking forward to a somewhat lowkey weekend here....

ill be there

i have to take a late flight on friday cause i have a meeting that day, i wouldnt mind taking the monday morning flight back like we did last time if julie and rupa want...

wine tour sounds fun :)

my birthday

sure, its even farther away than the lake house party . . . but i was playing online. I want to organize a wine tour and when i started searching online, one of the websites said my bday would be peak time and to 1. plan in advance if you want a specific date and 2. weekends are booked for larger groups. so, i emailed the company that sounded the friendliest (and encouraged emails) asking about prices, etc. i asked around the lab as to how many of my work friends would be interested, and the number could get up to 14, but will probably linger around 10. just wanted to give you guys a heads up so you could plan your flights :) can you all make it september 23 (a friday) to september 25????

budgeting

i think you have to allow yourself those simple pleasures! luckily i have a wonderful best friend so i dont have to spend $3 on coffee anymore and i just have to make it myself - plus it gives me a 2 min break from whatever im doing :)

i just got back from the gym. it feels sooo good to go during the day. it makes me not feel frustrated when its 7 and im still here. yesterday i worked till 745 cause i knew i had already worked out...now i just have to figure out the eating thing because i get too hungry around that time...

i want to get back on south beach, but i think itd be too hard now since i eat too many dinners with satyan and he is vegetarian, so chicken and veggies isnt an option...i want to lose 10 lbs before the wedding, actually before whenevr my dress fitting is for a bridesmaid dress....

other random coffee thought . .

you guys probably don't get this but . .
i have coffee guilt. i work with people that make similar paychecks to me but its their life's job - that afford kids and a house on a similar budget. soo . . . $3 on coffee is WAY too much - and i think of it as just what you pay if you want an espresso drink. i know its overpriced, but i like it so i get it anyway . . .

ahhh

i just got coffee . . .
double tall mocha saved my afternoon :)

urgh from dev....

i just sent you a package.



When you get it, REMEMBER: do NOT open it until you get home. Trust me J you’ll be happier that you did. Better yet, save it and open it before you go to bed.



Love devu

patty ellen and toral

i think patty talks to him cause she likes to talk and likes to give advice, and that its easy to give it to him when he is so emotional...him and ellen get along really well and with toral - i think they used to get along (when she used to come over all the time when i lived in wall st, he still holds on to that..). he never did get close to you guys - which is starting to be a discussion point with me and satyan cause i dont like that...

drinks last night with dave??

ill come friday :) i want to work out after work if i dont get to during the day, but other than that if celebrating scotts bday means i get to be with you and rupa im in...

i feel the same way - all i want to do is work out and read harry potter :) ive read like 100 pages but it doesnt seem like much has happened...

mixed feelings

dev's been a big part of your life for a long time. you can't just shut all those feelings off in an instant. i was so surprised to get that email. i've never been super close to him. what am i supposed to reply? nush - patty talks to him about you a lot? that surprised me.

i will be home tonight, but i prob won't be there late because i'm going to the gym. i agree with you on hating the whole feeling busy thing. i just want to go to the gym and read harry potter, dammit! last night i had a drink with a few work people for scott's bday (nush, he's having a birthday party at a bar on friday if you want to come), then i met up with jackie and her work people for a yummy and expensive steak and seafood dinner (plus ton of drinks). it was fun, but all i'd been up since really early because i worked out before work, and all i really really wanted to do was lay in bed reading my book. i feel bad saying no whenever jackie asks me to be her wing-woman, though, because she always does it for me.

anyways, i'm looking forward to a low-key quiet evening tonight :)

meg - glad you had fun at six flags. when i went to the one in MA a few weeks ago, i kept thinking about you guys and metzger the whole time!

oh yea, nush - rupa slept in your bed last night. she got locked out of her apt, so i figured it was better to have her sleeping there than outside in the street in bob's old home. (bob is the homeless guy who used to live across the street from us). actually, i haven't seen bob since winter. hopefully he found a better home. . .

maybe you're hormonal

and stressed.
maybe you need to force yourself to have the night or weekend to do nothing that you wanted. everything always gets mixed up when you haven't had time to recharge

changes

i agree that he would have never changed if i didnt break up with him...now that he changed...thats where the mixed feelings come from...

why didnt just seeing satyan last night make those feelings all go away?

australia . . .

so, its sending a mixed message to go on that vacation with him right . . .? :)

you made the right decision at the time because he wouldn't have changed and you wouldn't know what you were missing. judging by his email, you will have to make time for you because he plans to force himself into your life whenever he can. if he suddenly drops out of your life, then it wasn't meant to be.

poor guy :(

i didnt discuss it cause i had no idea who got the email. he told me some of my friends - i assumed just patty toral and ellen since they talk to him a lot about me, didnt realize it was ALL of you!

it put me in kind of a weird mood yesterday, there is just a weird feeling in my stomach - one of those did i make the right decision, did he really change, am i ever going to see him again, am i going to make time for him or keep going on with my busy schedule (which by the way is also making me frustrated - i hate being busy all the time. i just want to be home and do nothing) ...i thought when i went to satyans last night itd go away, but it didnt....

im excited about the lake house too :) i need to talk to my mom and remind her that we are doing it that weekend.

other random news - my grandparents are coming today! not sure if i mentioned that. my mom is going to pick them up at jfk. ill go home next weekend to see them.

jules - are you going to be home tonight? i miss you! (megan and rups, i miss you too, but it feels weird to miss julie since i live with her so i thought it warranted special notice)

on to dev again - he is on his way to atl for a 5 day conference where he is getting two "top employee" type awards from bill himself...and he won the trip that took us to hawaii again - although this year it takes them to australia!

you crazy emailers . . .

i get back to my desk and i have like 10 new emails . . . then it turns out to be a two minute conversation spaced out in one and two sentence emails . . .

i don't mean to be rude, but i'm glad sumita is not on the evite list . . . i just picture the revisiting of old times and having her either 1. give me beauty tips to improve my horrible appearance or 2. treat me like the man and either of these scenarios might result in edgar tearing her apart . . .

and if all i have to do is sleep in the same bed with a guy to have him include me on his epiphany/new contact email . . . i deserve a lot more emails than i'm getting!

dev...

but megan, you spent a night with him... in the same bed!! that automatically puts you into old friend category. :)

ladies come back to the blog!!!

did we not discuss the email?

when i read it this morning and there was no email chain from you guys after it, i assumed it was on the blog. but it wasn't on the blog! dev emailing a bunch of people - INCLUDING ME! - with his updated contact info and a hope that he could reconnect with old friends. i'm not an old friend - i'm not even a friend!!! of all the people to call if i suddenly find myself in seattle, i think dev is last on my list - no offense nush but dude . . .

in happier news, i love all this lake house talk! i'm excited to see you guys for the weekend!

six flags was fun. i'm a bit sun burned, but not bad. i rode all the major roller coasters, except the wooden one. plus i went on some of the water park rides. edgar and i hung out with matt all day - and i don't think we were an annoying couple! which is always my fear . . . also, i think i've made myself so distant to some of the new people/old people i don't really care about at changs that they are now afraid to talk to me. the guy that i made out with before edgar was there (he no longer works for changs but he's friends with some people) he said hi to and shook hands with matt and edgar and never even made eye contact with me! i know i give a very hateful aura off to him because i know he bugs edgar - but i'm amazed its worked so well . . . a little too well . . .

ellen...

ill ask her. i think renting a car would be a good idea. ill have my car there when we get there, but the only other option would be taking the train to new haven and that just seems like a more expensive AND more tedious option...

only other problem would be if satyan, ellen, or jackie had other friends they wanted to invite

jules - evy? i just thought of her...anyone else? where is julie? this is a weird occurrence - me and rupa on the blog all day!! megan, i hope you are having fun in six flags!

brunch

it won't take away from the time sleeping and laying around.. but we can just play it by ear. i forgot to include satyan in a car.. we could put 5 in and rent something for the weekend... what do you think? nush,jules,me,jackie,satyan...

am i missing anything/anyone?

i love having the bberry! i'm trying to stay on top of the not getting sucked in

moving up in the de shaw world

they now have you roped in with a bberry too!!

brunch sounds good although you guys know that town as well as i do at this point :) so i have no idea what is there (except the hot dog place i insist we go to, even though all i get there is fries or onion rings :))

plus i feel like im not enjoying the summer enough with beaches (and im sure julie will agree) id like to just lay out and play in the water...

after that weekend at the lake house, satyan and i have two weddings to go to the next two weekends!!! ive only been to 1 wedding before (this june) and now i have two in a row...urgh...

Blogging from bberry.

I'm happy to rent a car for us four from here if we can split it. Indian and pizza sounds awesome. Can we do something in the small town too? Like brunch? I love overtaking suburban restaurants w a big pack of people

//sent from my blackberry handheld//

sounds good

so ill write that itd be good if people pitched in 30 bucks and ill use that to buy beer, food (indian food for sat night dinner, and pizza maybe for fri night), snacks, and some liquer. that will def be good enough for friday and sat during the day we can make another run to the liquer store if people want other things...

how the heck are we going to get there??

pitching in

i think it's a good idea to ask people to pitch in.. if we have 10-12 people, i think chipping in 30 should be enough... people can get extra stuff they like if they want (like i may chip in extra for my good buddy jack)

yay

i'm excited for the lake house :) you should invite rooz and jamy too- i'll send both emails to you, i have to look them up in my gmail. they will probably come down from boston for it, don't know about my sister though..

who is yuri? new house yuri? :)

class notes

i looked in the class notes yesterday and didnt see anything about yuri...i didnt see anything for 03 actually! am i missing something???

for the lake house: late fri night and then leave in the morning on sunday...im thinking about sending out an evite for it soon...this is the list i have:

me
bryan
sandi
ellen
satyan
julie
jackie
megan
edgar
rupa
shilpa ?
patty

let me know if i need to add people (julie koo? anita? im fine with adding anyone) with an extended list like this though, i want everyone to pitch in for the drinks/food. what do you guys think is reasonable? last year i gave my parents i think like 300 for food/drinks. $50 each? $30 each? or asking people to bring a bottle of something (but that gets complicated cause then well have way too much liquer and i think beer is better and i think thatd be easier to buy in CT rather than lugging it from all over...) thoughts?

you suck

i wanna go to six flags!!! but have fun with p.f.changs.. i was actually craving p.f.changs a little bit ago

have fun!!! i think it's funny that all the class notes (and i usually just read the 02 notes) are things like "mike '02, joe 03, and bryan 04 had dinner at bondst on wednesday celebrating mike's promotion at j.p.morgan".

that is NOT a class note... don't you have to change your last name or pop out a baby or cure cancer?!?!?

i had a thought

1. don't miss me too much tomorrow but i'll be at six flags darien lake with pf chang's :)
2. after the lake house party (august 26 to 28? are we starting friday and staying until sunday?) can we send kristi tappan a note about it and get into the class notes of the tech review??? dorky, yes, but come on . . . you know you want to :)

a little burst of energy...

i just got my harry potter book :) im so excited.

rupa, im free tomorrow or wed (provided im not dead tired still). thurs night satyan has a show if you want to come with me - its at 930 at mercury lounge (i want to be there around 9). we can have dinner near there before that if you want to go...and im here this weekend, so that could work too...

im tired

i want to go home now cause im so sleepy, but i only got here at 11!! this day is going by so slow. im not used to working 5 day work weeks! i dont know how im going to survive....

rochester boys?!

rupa - you are scandalous!

did you tell the rochester boys that one of your best friends live there?

and you just stopped making out with a guy when he was like oops - my girlfriend just walked in. that's just crazy!

wow...

that i don't remember at all. crazy rupa. i actually have you in my cell phone as "nush" so i'm not sure how i managed to call you :) but at least it was you and not some other random person that i couldn't leave a drunken message for.

i'm glad you are back!! and that you had an amazing time. we should do something this week to see each other.. something chill and i don't mind coming to you guys.

whooa the blog changed!

i havent read last weeks blogs yet but plan to do that soon cause im starting to fall asleep..

rupa your story from this weekend is funny! you also left me a drunken message - i think you were trying to call ameya :) you said something like hi ameya its me i miss you a lot. call me back soon. i meant to save it to ask you about it but hit 7 instead of 9 and it got deleted...i guess ameya is right next to anusha in your cell phone? :)

the trip was ammmaaaazzzing. i had so much fun. it was nice to travel with my parents. i missed sashank a lot this time. i think its weird to think that from now on he either wouldnt come with us or it will be him and kerry - i think itll be a while for that to feel normal...

im gonna start reading last weeks blogs...

morning

hi everyone :) megan, I'm so sorry you had to be here on a Saturday. I mean not here.. but working. it woulda been nice if you were HERE on Saturday. I had a good weekend. I didn't go to boston as planned- my parents were gonna come into nyc instead, but that didn't happen either. so I had a really chill weekend. I ended up doing lots of work, and reading harry potter a bit :) only juicy event of the weekend was that Saturday was alexis, friend from work, her birthday. she is dating one of moushumi's friends, which meant that moush, her friends, and her boy were all there. and richard.. (prada photographer) and one girl's cousin who lives in the city brought his 10 white friends from rochester. their race has to be noted b/c they were the only white people for miles.. i kissed one of those rochester boys at the first club... and then they left.

there was a little repeat action with the prada photographer too.. nothing too scandalous, but fun… then his girlfriend got there so we stopped. I guess I forgot he had a girlfriend now. so did he.

that was my excitement for the weekend. otherwise I was hanging out in central park reading, or hanging out inside when it rained.

how was everyone else's?

saturday night and i'm at work

bet you're jealous :)
friday was good with the vet, i didn't go saturday because he was out of town. i spent up until now with edgar and it was great :)

now i'm posting this because i don't want to do the work i'm here to do and i thought i would get myself psyched up by checking what everyone posted on friday . . .

i guess i should do my work now :(

no blogs today

jules and i just had a fun long lunch but i now have serious food coma. megan how are you doing? what are you up to this weekend?

new look

i got tired of the dots. :)

actually. ..

i was reading an article the other day about blogs, and it was talking about how people just vent on blogs and post a lot of things that they probably don't want anybody else to read. it made me worry a little. . . what if someone we know accidentally stumbles upon our blog? there's a lot of crap here that i wouldn't want a lot of people to read. . .

oh well, it's thursday! and i'm going to happy hour with rupa and others in about an hour :)

blogs!

i just opened blogger and apparently we have 2347 blogs (including this one) that we've posted. that's CRAZY!!! ohhh... what people would pay for this dirt...

:)

i'm so glad i inspired a moment of freak-out like that. jules, your weekend sounds lovely. megan, what are your plans?

i will see those movies. the funny thing is that my roomie owns waking life and it's been sitting on my table in the living room for weeks... i don't think i've done much more than use the case as a coaster. but i should watch it :)

one more comment

when i first read rupa's blog, i inserted a "when" into the first sentence and read it as that would be like when jules hooked up with gabe . . . i was so freaked out for a second.

go to boston!

it sounds nice :)

i saw the carmen electra videos at blockbuster . . . i was a little worried - seeing as it was carmen electra and i find her a bit sketchy - who the target audience was . . . women actually looking to work out or men watching carmen electra strip . . .

has anyone watched what the bleep do we know? i watched another movie along the same lines yesterday - only not as good - called waking life. rupa, if you ever have time to rent movies, i recommend those two for you. some of the stuff is too much, but at the very least it makes you think :)

weekend in boston sounds nice :)

evelyn's coming this weekend, and i think we're just going to try to have a low-key weekend watching scary movies (we have saw and grudge on dvd, and i'm trying to save some money for when we go to miami for jackie's bday).

i gave jackie part of her bday present yesterday - the set of carmen electra's striptease exercise videos. maybe evelyn, jackie, and i might try them out this weekend. oh yea, gabe's staying at our apt this weekend, too. he's coming to see natalia - she'll be in nyc for like a day. she's just flying through - she was in europe and is flying back to puerto rico. we'll probably hang out with ramon over the weekend, also. he's interning in nyc for the summer, so he emailed me a couple of weeks ago to see if i wanted to hang out.

i was watching tv at the gym this morning, and one of those morning shows had a "harry potter jeopardy" where the teams were made up of a kid and his/her parent. it was so cute! the questions were really hard, too! i'm getting excited about harry potter coming out :)

rooz wishes ;)

but no, no wild affair like that. that would be like jules hooking up w gabe.

i'm in a really good mood today.. something about this city just reminds me every once in a while how great our lives are. just to be living in a fun city.. having time for friends and food and working out and all the good things that people with big families or crazier jobs can't do.

my parents are driving up to boston to see my sister this weekend. i may go just to complete the foursome.. and cuz they are driving up in massachusetts to have lobster (it's lobster season) and i don't want to be left out. we'll see what ends up happening :)

hi

i've been here. just pretty busy at work, and i don't really have anything new to share, either. meg, glad you're happy. rupa, don't work too hard!

yeah for rupa being here!

life is good :)
we sort of have a new restaurant . . . its the place that edgar is now obsessed with (my suggestion first time we went there)
its really nice having edgar come over whenever. last night we hung out until i was ready to go to bed and then he went out with some people and just came back after. i was already asleep - but it was nice to wake up with him :) and then i get to give him a kiss g'bye when i leave for work and he stays sleeping.

any occasion for going to boston this weekend? starting a wild affair with rooz? ;)

back

from the dead...

hi! jules we should get coffee or something today... or you should come to burgers. i know you don't want to take a long lunch :( but we could make it fast and eat back here or something.

megan, how is the new place? it's exciting to hear that the little things make you happy even scooping out frozen shavings from a big freezer.. ok, maybe you're just a freak. :) how is life in rochester? how is having your own place and edgar being able to come over a lot? have you found new restaurants to be a regular at? i'm excited to hear all about it.

things here are the same. work work work... although i may go to boston this weekend.

am i missing something?

where did everyone go?

g'morning!

i didn't get enough sleep last night . . . but i'm still in a good mood :)

gen, courtney and i left early yesterday because we spent the afternoon defrosting a giant -80 freezer. basically i was bent over a freezer, scraping ice and snow chunks with a dust pan and little hand broom for an hour. THEN we had to dispose of the snow/ice that i cleaned out - snow and ice that was filled with all kinds of samples and other crap that had fallen out . . . so you think we could just toss it all in a sink with a strainer. nope, there was also tiny chunks of styrofoam that was big enough to clog a drain, but would go through most bigger strainers - so we melted the ice and scooped it out with strainers meant for mouse spleens - kind of like cleaning a pool only miniature. then we left early and went to the distillery for a pitcher and some appetizers. it was actually really fun (mostly because of the beer and nachos at the end)!

whoa

i love you! i read the whole thing. sorry, but my blog won't be nearly as lengthy as yours :( i have a billion things to do at work and i'm exhausted. jackie and i missed the last train back from pittsfield last night, so we've been up since 4:30am to catch the 6am train. yea, no fun.

we had a great weekend, though! we went clubbing in albany friday night with a bunch of evelyn's co-workers (albany is like 1 hour away from pittsfield). saturday we slept-in, went to the mall, had dinner at an amazing colombian restaurant (i was so surprised!), then watched the fantastic four. sunday we went to six flags new england (springfield is like an hour away from pittsfield) with one of evy's co-workers and her friend from home. so much fun! there was a new ride - batman - which was good. we went on the best rides (like superman) after we played in the waterpark. it was sunny and hot and perfect for water rides. so much fun! then, after we missed the train, we rented children of the corn and watched it back at evy's place. i'd never seen it, and jackie and evy said i HAD to watch it because there are a bunch of corn fields by evy's and there are signs that say like in the movie (kind of freaky). it turns out that the signs are in children of the corn 2, so now i'm going to have to add that to my netflix queue.

megan, sounds like you had such a lovely weekend! and i'm glad that you're enjoying your nice new apt :)

tell me more about working at the vet's! what exactly are you doing?

oh, those crazy brown folk . . .

i watched bride & prejudice this weekend . . .
wow. i haven't decided what i think yet :) edgar was shocked when he watched a little of it at how attractive the women were - and impressed when i told him i had done the very white, very bad version of some of the dancing they did (every 30 seconds, sometimes for no reason and in large groups down the middle of streets)

and i went out last night! friday, i got up early and went to the vets. friday night i had dinner and hung out with my grandma. saturday, i was at the vets until 2ish then i drove to rochester and met up with jess for like an hour. everything listed so far went really well. i think i'm a big fan of the vet - he seems very on top of his game. i think i'm doing a good thing seeing my grandma once a week - i think the constant company will do her good. hanging out with jess was good too - i think i'm going to try to make plans with her for this thursday to either 1. go to the gym or 2. go to dsw (we both have coupons) or maybe both :)
saturday night, i watched movies for a while and sat on my private little porch eating dinner and reading technology review (i'm a dork, but i really like it and i like reading the "classnotes" - did you know mulvi was in iraq? and yuriy and kristen are still together?!? don't know how much you guys pay attention to that stuff . . .) it was soo nice to sit outside and have it quiet and be in my own space! sunday, bummed around with edgar then went to work THEN went out! and drank! it was a kid from chang's bday (20th, but he kept saying 22nd). i had so much fun and was totally in love with these two guys - it felt like when the freshman kappa sig's were our little pets. one of them was broke so i bought him beer and they were both checking out a girl i knew, so i was giving them the info on her. the one i bought beer for gave me a big hug when i left. the other one - who worked there when i did then left and is now back and i used to have a big crush on - got a ride with edgar and i and was soo stoned it was funny. we took him to dunkin donuts, he was completely excited with his apple fritters :)

so, overall i had a great weekend! and i'm not stressed yet - i had a really relaxing second half of saturday and sunday so its not bugging me working 7 days a week (yet).

oh! one more completely silly thing - i love my apartment, for many reasons, but one of them is how new it is. the old place was a pain in the ass to clean because some of the dirt was just there. and then simple things like the kitchen counters - it had this stupid lip so you couldn't actually wipe crumbs off of it. and the tiles were so small and old that the grout (spelling?) in between just made it look dingy. the new place? its beautiful! and i have one of those clorox bleach pens and am slowly going over all the counter space in between the tiles, making it look nice and white (something i tried to do in my old bathroom but it was falling apart to much to actually bleach it) it makes me soo happy to clean the counters! now i just need a super cleaner to make the shower sparkle . . .

and if you read all of that, you really love me . . .

i'm all alone here today :(

i guess i can't complain since i haven't been much of a regular contributor to our blog recently, but still. . .

:(

chocolate croissants

megan and nush, i always think of you whenever i have a chocolate croissant! it's this girl's bday in my dept, and chocolate croissants are one of her favorite foods (the other 4 are: beer, coke, pizza, and egg sandwhiches), so we got a bunch of croissants and a liter of coke to celebrate (we figured beer probably wouldn't be appropriate).

anyways, just wanted to let you girls know that i was thinking of you :)

oooh, and yesterday morning on my way to work i saw a sullivan street bakery truck in front of this italian restaurant right next to my work, bond 45. random, but i thought i'd share with you :)

happy rainy morning

i really really really wish i was in bed right now.

jackie and i went to ciprianis last night for "a drink". well, that one drink turned into something like 10 drinks. we had a fun night. we met an older man who knows one of the members of the executive commitee here at D. E. Shaw, Julius. pretty random. anyways, we had a really fun night. i just wish i could've stayed in bed this morning.

joe met up with us last night to have a drink with us (but he had to leave when we were walking to the bar because he had to catch the last ferry to jersey). he'd been out with clients, so he was all dressed up. he looked really cute! i met some random guy who's a dj at this other bar that we went to. i couldn't remember his name this morning but i remember making fun of it last night. and then i reached into my purse and found his business card. . .his dj name is magneto (or something like that)!

i'm taking the train out to evy's at 6, so i'll probably be at work til 5 or so. rupa: how are you? you've been MIA since yesterday!

rain

why does the rain make me so happy? i love mornings like this one for some reason.. i mean i love me some sunny ones too, but for some reason.. i just like when it's cooling wet rain (not the super muggy kind).

how is everyone today? any exciting weekend plans? jules, when do you leave for MA? nush, did you already leave for peru? catch me up!! megan, how is the new place? pee smell gone yet?

apple store

didnt you say one was opening in the changs mall? did it open yet?

the battery

yeah, i saw the recall . . . i need to double check my serial number, but they said its for computers starting in october of 2004 - thats almost two years after i got mine.

as for the battery - if you push the button on the battery itself, it will light up (there are four little lights) how charged it is - i don't think mine has any lights now. something is not letting it charge, i don't know what though . . .

blinking and PCs

im pretty sure that means there is enough juice to get it going but the battery needs to be charged. and on my computer when it turns orange then its completely charged...im sure apple came up with a new scheme for these things though just cause they are "cool". you should bring your computer here and have julie take it to the apple store. the "genius bar people" are in love with julie and basically fix everything to brand new for her EVERY time and if they cant say im really sorry but ill have to give you a new __ since i cant fix it. i think that gives them the same rush as a non nerd asking her out on a date or something!

so feel free to fly up here anytime ;)

battery

i don't know what the blinking means - it's supposed to be solid green when it is fully charged, and orange when it is charging. i'm not sure if this applies to your computer or not, but i know apple recently recalled batteries of 15 inch and 12 inch powerbooks. you should be able to find something about that on their website.

which reminds me, i should probably do whatever it is i need to do to get a new battery for my powerbook. . .

more frustration

i'm not nice to my computer - i'll be the first to admit it. it has fallen at least once, possibly twice. i don't restart it enough. i'm not sure how, but i've managed to anger the cd/dvd enough that it no longer burns cds and picks and chooses which cd/dvds it will play. all of this is fine. but i have a new problem . . .

mid last week, the green light on the power cord started blinking (where it attaches to the computer, its usually a solid green light, sometimes orange i think) my computer was charged and i was busy so instead of doing anything, i just unplugged it. when i moved into the new apartment, i went to turn on the computer and the battery was super super low, so i plugged it in - the blinking continued. and it shut off. it will not turn back on . . . it starts too, i've even had it almost completely booted up (screen showing and everything) but it gives me the wheel of death and won't turn on. i've checked the battery, its def not charged. i would assume its an issue with the power chord, but its blinking - what does blinking mean?? i'm in the midst of trying to play on the mac website and see if they had any "this is your problem" type info on this, but i thought i'd ask you guys too :)

the carpet

well, that's what edgar wants to do . . . he has extra under the carpet padding from when he redid the carpet in his house, so he wants to take out the piece of carpet and thoroughly clean it, replace the padding underneath and then put it all down again. i'm going to get the stuff from courtney and if that doesn't work, then i'll be calling the landlords for permission and if they say no, then i'll ask them how they propose i get the smell out . . .

lab meeting was painful. the first 45 minutes were an indepth discussion and data storage: external harddrive attached to common computer vs those harddrives linked through a server downstairs. then, katy presented her horribly designed graphs (line graphs?? single wells?? no background subtraction????) which was the same unorganized info for each of 45 subjects (one subject per slide) i left at 10:35 (lab meeting is scheduled until 10:30) because i 1. couldn't stand any more and 2. had stuff that is timed that i needed to start. well, at least its her last one - tomorrow is her last day :)

i loved it too!

i had such a good night last night! this seems to be a trend and i love it. rupa i wish i got to say bye to you but it was nice to see you either way!! ill see you when i get back from vacation....we should make dinner again sometime!

the cramps are fine. i made myself get up and go to a spinning class at 630. i thought id be lacksadaisical (sp?) but at least would get my body moving but i actually had a pretty hard work out. i loved it. ill prob be working late tonight since im off from tonight till the 18th :) feels gooooood to say that! this time i think i totally deserve it.

im glad the smell is going away. would you be able to take the carpet out if it doesnt go away?

quick hello before lab meeting

i got sleep last night, the closet smells a little better but courtney says she has stuff that will take care of the smell in the carpet - otherwise . . .

today is my last day this week as tomorrow i'll be driving to auburn to meet the vet - so thats helping my mood.

i'm glad you guys had fun at the imax :)

goodmorning sunshine!

ok, so there's not much sun outside, but. . .it's already thursday! and for some strange reason i've had that beach boys song in "50 first dates" in my head all morning: "wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up, in the morning when the day is new"

nush, how are the cramps?
megan, did you get some rest last night? how's de-cat-littering the closet going?
rupa, hi :)

batman begins at the imax was so good! i loved it :)

bad cramps :(

and too much learning from our legal team today about legal documents etc....i just want to get out of here!

poor joe??

jules no feeling bad for him - he is an idiot - and quite well may be gay :) just kidding. i think he is a nice guy, i just dont get him...

megan whats wrong??

sorry meg

at least the day's more than half over. . .

nush, i don't have "when genius failed" with me. i lent it to my dad, so it's either in miami or in chile with him right now.

poor joe. jackie's cousin is telling all the guys in jackie's company that joe is gay because he had the house to himself this weekend and he didn't invite me over for a 'booty call'. jackie tried defending joe by saying that maybe he had another girl over, but i don't think it worked. it's a good thing none of them talk to joe. besides, i wouldn't have gone over for a booty call! well, not unless i had a few drinks in me, anyways. . .

oh, the frustration

my day is not going smoothly and its frustrating me.

childrens books

i dont think we are too old for it!! im surprised another movie didnt come out this past xmas though...what are they waiting for?? i preordered it too :) i havent read genius fails but if you have it, ill take it with me on the trip! im looking forward to reading a pleasure book on this trip. the last four trips of mine i have been studying during so this will be nice to just read a book for fun.

i went to pilates just now :) it felt so good. and i love the gay instructor that knows everyones names - and even mine when i havent been there for like 3 months!!

i just got the coolest present - well i bought it for myself so im not sure its a present - but i bought a 3D puzzle of the taj mahal. last weekend when i was at the museum with satyan i was telling him how i thought the taj mahal was the most beautiful building in the world and that when i was younger i always wanted this puzzle - i looked it up online and they dont make it anymore so the vintage ones were selling for 100!! but some idiot on ebay was selling it for 25 :) so i bought it. it just got here today but we arent going to start it until after i get back from vacation. it looks reallllly hard....but im excited. it should be really cool looking when its done :)

exhausted and sore, but happy :)

hi ladies. I had a really rigorous workout yesterday (my poor buns and legs are throbbing) and another good workout early this morning, so I'd give just about anything to be in my bed right now. other than that (and the cloudy gray day outside), life is great! you guys need to remind me of how good exercising makes me feel whenever I'm whining about not wanting to go to the gym.

meg- good luck with your litter box closet. that sounds so unpleasant! at least you have edgar around to help you deal with shit like that :)

nush - I'm glad you're enjoying the book! I really liked it, too. did you ever read "when genius failed"? I really liked that book, so that's why I got liar's poker (amazon.com recommended it to me).

ooh - speaking of amazon.com . . .i pre-ordered my harry potter book! I can't wait for it to come out. am I getting too old to enjoy children's books?

this weekend jackie and I are going to visit evy in pittsfield, massachussetts. hopefully the weather will be nice, so we'll get some sun out there. her friend's friend has a house with a pool and hot tub and huge backyard, so we'll probably hang out there on saturday. I guess there's a six flags water park close to her, so we're going there on sunday. we're such good friends. . . places like rochester and pittsfield have never been on my list of "must-see" places. towards the end of august evy finds out where her next rotation will be. right now it looks like it'll be either in indiana (yipee) or albany (woo-woo!).

ok ladies, hope you all have a fabulous day. megan, get some coffee! or some mountain dew! or anything with caffeine in it. . .

sleepy with no hope of recovery

i think i made my final "big" trip to walmart and wegmans last night . . . but then i was up until 1am dealing with the stuff. the closet in the living room was where the old tenants kept their kitty litter box - it smelled so bad i couldn't put anything in it. so, after attempting frebreeze and time we moved on to the next level. edgar got stain/odor primer paint and we painted the inside of the closet. then we soaked the carpet with carpet cleaner. hopefully, it will smell better tonight . . .

good morning :)

im in such a good mood even though it is so dreary outside. i had a great night last night - went to the gym with satyan, read a lot of liars poker while i worked out (jules - its so good!), ate dinner and watched half of aviator on satyans new flat screen tv - i looooove it! i think movie watching at his place is going to become more of a regular thing. we didnt finish the movie though since it is 3 hours long...

hopefully we will finish it tomorrow or friday...

im looking forward to batman tonight :)

im in!

that sounds great. what time is the show are you thinking of going to?

i invited satyan and toral to come too..we shall see...

batman @ the imax

nush, rupa and i are going to watch batman at the imax after work tomorrow if you want to come. a few people from work might be joining us, and jackie's coming too. so no movie night at 63 sullivan, but you should come to the imax! i was thinking of inviting chirag, too, although i know he has a hectic work schedule. . .

chirag

i just "had lunch" with him, which really means we met outside, walked to subway, ordered a sandwich and walked back :) either way it was fun. it was nice to catch up even if it was only for 5 min.

jules, want to have a movie night at our apt tomorrow night? around 8 or 9 after everyone goes to the gym?

missed all those blogs

just caught up on all those blogs... don't why I couldn't see them
before...

nush, sorry you guys fought at the end of your good night... it seems
like it's just residue from all the feelings and the weirdness of him
leaving (for him) and the question of you not seeing him again. I'm
sure you will though... people that are that important to you are always
around in some form.

satyan sounds amazing :) I'm so glad the rest of your weekend was good
and that you had lots of people around to talk to...

i never questioned it!

its the excitment of seeing kerry in different ways and being totally fascinated by some of the things she does/says than I am used to which is what i love :) i think im getting to know her in a different way now and i like that.

thats great about the vet :)

i have some stuff to take care of then im meeting chirag for a quick lunch :)

sorry nushie :(

i'm glad satyan's doing a good job making you happy though!!! and you should never have to question what a great person kerry is, you're brother chose her - she MUST be great! (speaking from another younger sister getting to know her soon to be siste-in-law)

jules - i'm glad things are not weird with joe. are you ok with him turning into a party animal without you?

rupa - how did your weekend go? did plans work out with hanging out with your sister?

me weekend was busy and great :) i didn't get any sleep thursday night because i was up until 3am moving/thinking about moving and woke up at 8 to move on friday morning. my dad came and two guys from the restaurant who edgar knows. it took about two hours, maybe a little less. they only had to make two trips so i was really proud of myself (usually my dad almost disowns me on moving day as i'm entirely unorganized and waste his time) we got pizza and wings to thank our movers - the two guys were GREAT, they made it really easy. then, i went with my dad to my grandparent's lake house because my grandpa had an extra riding lawnmower that he wanted my dad to get rid of. we met up with my brother and missy and the four of us went out to dinner. i didn't get back to rochester until 10pm and i was TIRED. edgar was already asleep, so i spent my first night in my bed alone . . . then overslept saturday morning, drove to auburn and my dad bought me a bike (he was buying one for himself and i said i wanted to look at bikes and it ended with him saying "your brother takes advantage of me, the least you can do is allow me to buy you this") then, i went to my cousin's high school grad party then back to rochester. i unpacked for a little and spent the evening hanging out with friends who moved in less than a block away on their roof deck drinking wine. sunday, hung out with edgar until he had to go to work - unpacking, went out for breakfast etc. in the evening, i went with the same friends from saturday night to one of their friends camp on a lake to watch fireworks. it was really cool - its just all the people who own camps go out and get fireworks and set off their own mini shows then at 10:30, everyone sets off road flares around the lake so you see a "ring of fire" (that's what they call it) it was really cool. monday, i went to another friend's house for a bbq - which was a little boring, but nice. i played horseshoes for the first time (not my favorite sport turns out) but edgar and i won :) then, we rented a bunch of movies, hung out at my apartment until it was dark out and went for a walk into downtown and watched the fireworks there. it was pretty anticlimatical because 1. there were too many people 2. i almost got hit by a rogue firework that someone set off in the crowd of people 3. it was really humid still. this morning, i woke up late because edgar set the alarm clock incorrectly - switching am and pm around. then, i forgot to grab breakfast and my id . . . but, i got into the lab without a problem and i got a call from a vet that i had been trying to contact so i'm going to start volunteering this weekend. i don't think he actually wants me, but he feels obligated because he's my uncle's girlfriend's step father . . .

wow. that was all very long.

yay long weekend!!

i had an incredible weekend... it was super busy but for some reason, aside from losing my voice, i feel incredibly relaxed like i took a week's vacation. friday night i went to oyster happy hr with work people and moushumi, and ended up meeting up with rooz and jamy who were here for the weekend. we went to 40/40 b/c one of their friends was having a bday party and had rented out one of the VIP rooms.. the music was good, the downstairs was packed but upstairs was nice and had free drinks and bday cake :) saturday we spent a lot of the day in central park on the swings(!!) or napping in the grass and then we went to this other place called sky loft.

sunday we went to mission, this hiphop club with no cover that i used to go to with moush.. it was a perfect night.. lots of good music to dance to, lots of beautiful black men that really knew how to dance :) what a fun weekend... plus i really got to catch up with rooz and jamy. they were really fun.

last night i didn't really do much but recover after the crazy weekend (we were out till 6am every night) but now i'm happy and hyper. megan, how was the move? nush, how was philly?

mixed emotions

the weekend had a series of ups and downs. friday night with dev (my last dinner with him in the city) was really fun. we had the best time - then we got in a fight on the way home :( I made the mistake of telling him that i was concerned that after the whole DUI thing he was going to be back to a driving city and that I hoped he would be safe - i do feel those things, i guess i shouldnt have mentioned it, i didnt think it would become a 3 hour fight at 2 in the morning on his last night here :( anyway i made him go home, and the next day we didnt talk about that, we just enjoyed eachothers company, i took him to the airport - cried my eyes out. i didnt realize how hard that would be - i dont think ive done something like that since i left mike to go to college - and this feels even worse cause at least then i KNEW id see mike again. im not so sure with dev...anyway.

then i went to philly and gave my brother the biggest hug ive ever given him in my whole life and just started crying again. he was wonderful. i had a great weekend with him and kerry, planning the wedding, eating great food and just hanging out. i feel like i get to know her better and better each time i see her, and i think she is absolutely great! then last night i went to satyans friends house to see fireworks which was very nice. then out to dinner and home to sleep :)

tonight im going to go to his apt and watch the aviator and order in. he bought a new dvd player and flat screen tv in the last few weeks so id go over there to watch movies :)

g'morning ladies

megan, how's the new apt? all moved in yet? are you loving it?

hope you all had a nice weekend. my weekend with jackie's cousin in jersey was very nice. relaxing, got some sun, ate tons of fatty food, played with little kids. the ferry wasn't running at all yesterday because of the holiday, so jackie and i woke up at like 5:30 this morning and commuted with her cousin. i'm exhausted right now, i don't know how people can commute every day.

the ride to jersey with joe on friday afternoon was fun. it wasn't awkward or weird - we chatted easily the whole time. it was nice seeing him and talking to him. apparently, he's a party animal now. he told me he'd been out every night last week. looks like all he needed was for me to break up with him so he could start being fun again. anyways, we took the boat over to jersey together, then he drove me to jackie's cousin's house. we talked about going out saturday and sunday nights but something came up so we never met up. then last night he and i went to see the war of the worlds (jackie didn't feel like watching a movie, so she stayed at home). i liked the movie all the way up until the end - i thought the end was totally disappointing.

but anywaysk, i had a good weekend. long weekends always seem too short, though. ugh, time for some coffee. . .

ahh

nush, i didn't see your blog until after i posted mine :)

everyone too busy working?

rupa and i just got back from getting manicures and pedicures. i love my job sometimes :) now i'm just concerned with messing up my nails while typing. . .

megan- how did/is moving go/going?

hope you ladies all have a great weekend!

have a good weekend!

i had a nice evening, 1 drink with coworkers, dinner with satyan to "celebrate the last day of my bday month" (he is such a cutie..) then sleep. he is meeting me for lunch now then he will be gone all weekend at a wedding. im hanging out with dev from after work today till i go to the airport with him tomorrow. then to philly...

megan, good luck with the move

jules and rupa have fun this weekend!
