Very funny.

Y says, "It's times like this that you resemble your mother the most."

Guess the context.

Case in point

Here's one stupid thing I did today in the lab: I was standing in front of my hood for three hours, pushing solvent through a column into test tubes, and I had just finished filling a rack of 40 test tubes (containing approximately two liters of solvent). I went to move the rack of test tubes from my hood to the lab bench, and lo and behold, teh entire bottom of the test tube rack fell off, all the glass test tubes came crashing down into my hood, two liters of solvent spilled everywhere, and it was a huge mess. My response? I figured, OK, I guess that's my cue to go home now.

I just finished re-reading all the blog posts, and decided that we were probably alot funnier before we got married. And by 'we,' I obviously meant Y. I don't need to be funny. I do enough stupid things to compensate.

Dear Y's parents

OK, you've been out-ed. We know you're checking our blog. In fact, we're so sure that you're checking it, we are going to use this blog to send you a very important message:

WE'RE ENGAGED!!!!

OK I think that's all for now.

(What? Don't you think that's enough?)

To our fan club)

Hi Fanclub! Many thanks for your fun and exciting comments. In honor of fanclub, who has been the only person to post so far (besides Y, who doesn't count) (I mean, of course you count, Y, just not for this particular context).

Speaking of which, Y says that his advisor is the most important person in his life.
(Highly and mostly paraphrased for amusement value. What he really said was that his advisor was one of the five most important people in his life).

Also, we have hot pink bubble guns. If you don't know what a bubble gun is, I surely can't help you. Anyway beware. We are armed and extremely dangerous.

Shoot I just realized that the first paragraph contains a sentence fragment. I guess I've been hanging around with the non-English speaking Engineer Extraordinaire (also known as Circus Maximus) (Gluteus Maximus?) (Don't be disgusting) a little too often.

Sorry fan club.

Also the other commenter has been the anonymous person who wants to hear more about my chemlife. Why would you want to hear about chemlife? Go read a chemistry journal (which is kind of like a magazine, but doesn't come every day like the NY Times) (that was the explanation I gave my very cute younger brother when he asked me what a chemistry journal is.)

Also I had to explain to him that not everyone gets the NY Times delivered every day. I think that was highly confusing and disruptive to his world view.

And to end on a weird note, "There can only be one!" (Huh? What is she talking about?)

Fanclub, next time you have to share details of your personal life.

Update

Of course Y doesn't hit girls. That was total and complete fiction.

General note: We would really like to encourage comments. Please comment.

Specific note:

Dear Y's mother,
It has recently been brought to my attention that Y hits girls. How was he raised???

Y says

"I bleed electrons."

My response: "I bleed anti-electrons."

Do you think we will annihilate each other???
