Carrot Scepter

Look! This carrot is 13"!

Posting for posting's sake

the river of posting genius is again running a bit dry. He's an email that i just sent to one of my professors:
Hi!
How has the year been going so far? I just wanted to let you know that I am still rearin' to help out in the lab. I miss school and learning terribly, and I feel so lost! I want to write, and research, and learn like the rest of the kids at school!!! Let me know if there's anything i can do to help!
Thanks!
Shelley

I'm getting desperate!

Poetry

Where do the stairs climb?
Why do the fish fly?
How can a mole dig?
When will the moon die?
Who talks to their dreams?
What makes icebergs freeze?
These are the answers.

Sausage

I got some sausage out of the Trader Jo's dumpster last night. It's in my fridge. Should I even try eating it?

My new friends

In addition to my new friends from work, I recently met my new headset, Oscar. He will be living in my black tote along with my Quit coach toolkit. I hope to adorn him with the appropriate attire (it cannot be permanent), and I am willing and open to hear suggestions. I talked to a real person today!

Shelley goes Metropolitan

Speaking of my job, here's the building where I will be working! Ahhhhhh (I can't remember which floor the company has, but it's waaaaaaay up there with a panoramic view of Seattle)

Trendy Jackets

I went shopping downtown yesterday for clothes that I can wear to my new job that starts Monday. I tried on this oh so cute jacket that Lindsey found. Besides not being right for me at all, it got stuck on my bicepcs when I was trying to take it off--I am too strong for the jacket!!!

Top rated

I would like to point out that my top rated list over to the right is actually from the week of Feb. 20, 2005. Maybe I should start listening to music...

Wow, this is really, really ugly

Treasure

I found bread in the dumpsters behind The Essential Baking Company. I got three items: a loaf of Rosemary Diamante, Desem, and some dinner roles.
What some people throw away...

Oh Burrito, I mourn thy loss.

I just polished off my last frozen burrito. This event marks a turn in my experience of life as I have known it previously. The clump of bean and vegetable protein that spilled out of a crack in the tortilla and onto my brown, boat-necked shirt signifies my unwillingness to let go of the chapter of my life that has closed with such force. As long as the earthy smell remains infused in the fabric of my shirt, I will hold fast to the memory of what it was to have the convenience of a burrito coming forth all warm and tasty from the microwave in less than 2 minutes.

CHECK THIS OUT!!!

SQUID!!!

Relax-it's only brain-rotting, mind-sucking hypnosis!

I am going to start a new blog! This one isn't dead, although all of my readers probably are. I was sitting here, reading Joel's feeble attempt to write a dissertation, and it donned on me that I could write out the project that my university requires of me before I can graduate. It will be like I'm blogging and being productive!!!
