Busy weekend. Got far more intoxicated than I had originally planned on Friday, and watched as my best friend made passes (successful ones, no less) at a married chick. Oh dear, this has bad idea written all over it. Went out with C. to see King Kong on Saturday. Man, dinosaurs are awesome. We then proceeded to rack up a mean $1.61 bar tab after...

Hooray! It's done. I make a wicked prof. Celebratory pizza!

Well, I'm set to deliver my 1st lecture ever today. Damn. I anticipate that speaking in front of 50 4th year chemists at the University may be a tad unnerving. Who else loves public speaking? At least it'll all be over soon, and then I can go back to stressing about girls (what else?!).

Why do I have the habbit of becoming best friends with women who are emotionally unavailable...or at least nearly so. We talked. It was emotional. Everything's ok, and I know I wasn't in the wrong...but then why does part of me still feel like a dick...Bah! this only being human thing is for the birds...that didn't make any sense. Then again, not much does these...

That's cool, I didn't feel like sleeping last night anyways. Lying awake upset is way more fun anyways. That's it, I'm pulling a "we need to talk". Has anything good ever come from those 4 little words? Not likely. I suspect that trend will continue tonight.

Beers with C. 3 nights in a row. Terrible idea. How do her "not-so-subtle" hints turn from obvious interest in me, to blunt attempts to acknowledge that my interest is unwanted. Moreover if this is the case, why does she keep calling me? Surely she must have some other friends with whom to hang out who aren't becoming progressively more infatuated with her. I woke...

Back from Fernie...
What a gong-show. I have not been that wrecked in quite some time...I pulled the typical "6 beers will do for preloading", failing to recognize that 2 of those 6 beers were in 1 L bottles. Ran into a girl I used to work with ages ago. I managed to score another beer outta that somehow...allthough I think I was rude to...

So looks like Fernie's a go...since the hotel room's on my credit card. Good thing I'm deathly ill. Ugh, my head...
At least I finished my paper, so now the metaphorical headache has given way to the actual one. Everything aches. Sounds like a good day to get back to working in the lab, no? Calixarene triflates here I come!
Actually I got back into...

Another day, another 13 hours spent on this damn paper. You'd think I'd be done by now eh? Well think again. Looking through the chem journals this morning, and I found a paper detailing a new reaction with three reagents. They used the term "menage a trois" in their abstract. Brilliant! Went out for beers with C. last night cuz we missed the movie (someone...

Ugh...I spent all weekend inside writing this damn paper...and I'm still not done. I'll probably spend all day on it again today, despite the fact that I should be in the lab (apparently I'll never make a break-through discovery without having to do some actual work...). I'm supposed to have another "this is not a date, just friends who are attracted to one another hanging...
