In news about me, I freaking love getting home on Thursdays. Thursday day generally sucks for me, as I have class til 10 Weds night, so I stay up late, and then I have to get up for work that I hate, and then I have a class I'm not nuts about (although I think we made some progress tonight), but THEN! Then when I get home, I have a three-day weekend. Being a student is awesome on Thursday nights.

World's Smallest Car

Using the parts inside a single molecule, scientists have constructed the world's smallest car. It has a chassis, axles and a pivoting suspension. The wheels are buckyballs, spheres of pure carbon containing 60 atoms apiece.

It'd be a real squeeze to take it for a spin, however.

The whole car is no more than 4 nanometers across. That's slightly wider than a strand of DNA. A human hair is about 80,000 nanometers thick.

I have yet to realize that ahead of time

It only crossed my mind just the other day while I was doing laundry and pondering church/reception hall/home vehicle logistics.

At the wedding I was maid of honor for, there was a moment when all of us brides-whatevers and bride started swearing simultaneously as we realize we were all made up and our hair done and we were in underwear and slips. So we sat around in them for a bit, applied beer and wine, and then said fuck it, it was an outdoor wedding anyway and it was windy.

And then spent nearly an hour tromping around in the woods and streams in heels and hose to take pictures, because the bride is a photographer, so the photographers were all her buddies, but they weren't just portrait photogs, they were nature photogs too.

It was kinda fun. And INSANE. We all stayed in a huge family cabin at Lake Stanley in Idaho, and the wedding took place on the shores of the lake. They gave me plenty of scotch.

I am envious of Jesse's Thursday nights.

I realized on the way home that I was very very tired. Too tired, in fact to even preheat the oven and all that stuff, so pizza is on the way.

I hope I am still awake when it gets here.

I just bought some pre-made bread pudding at the store. Should I warm it up or eat it in its chilly state?

If there's a nice rum sauce, I vote that you warm it up.

Throw it out! Throw it out! Cast spells upon it!

(I don't like bread pudding.)

I am msbelle, down to the knitting and listening to my iPod on a crowded plane!

One person was fired, then we had a come to Jesus meeting, so hopefully everyone else will stay. Plus one of the girls made homemade egg rolls with fried rice the day we left. Yum!

I have to go back next week. It's kind of odd because I went to hang out with a friend I never get to see, so we were all excited and stayed out all night, but now I'm going back and we're all like "Yeah, so maybe we'll see each other..."

We did have a good time though. We watched the Houston game on the side of a building downtown with a huge crowd of people. Drank at some pub in the downstairs of his building, and then went upstairs and drank pink wine and watched 16 Candles (which he had never seen ) I was all "Dude. How did you know what high school was like if you never saw those movies?"

Well, it's sauce-free, and I got a little impatient and tried it. It's pretty tasty cold. But will it be tastier warm? Decisions, decisions.

I don't understand not liking bread pudding!
