Geekend
This is going to be a good weekend. I can feel it. Sure, I've got to spend the majority of it studying for next week's exam, but ... I've been anal-retentively tracking my new Meade ETX EC90 telescope and Autostar Contoller with 30,000 object database on the UPS Web site, and they are due to arrive today. It's also the Pequot Library (in Southport, CT) annual book sale! woohoo! Thousands of books for sale for pennies!!! I usually bring home at least 15 new books. Um, on my first visit. I generally make several visits.
I was thinking about all this this morning, and it suddenly dawned on me "God damn it, woman, are you aware of how much of a geek you have become? Talk about the ultimate geekfest: studying chem, astronomy and books?" And then I got really excited ... and completely depressed. I Am A Geek.

So, to remind myself (I'm doing a lot of reminding myself this week) that I am still the epitome of coolness (shut up, Robyn. Just wait until you see your cube when you return... he he) I rode my motorcycle to work. It was a beautiful ride today. I rode all along the beach and didn't hit an ounce of traffic. (Evil Forces 0, Laura 1) Except now I have to wear a hat because I have the worst helmet hair imaginable. (Evil forces 1, Laura 1) I'd shave my head, but I think Jodi would send the fashionista police after me. Wait until she finds out I don't even wear lipstick...

So, I'm going to work for a bit and then head home to my own personal geekfest. I may even go crazy and get a pocket protector. (Hey Jodi, do they have those in animal print or serenade? ;)
