Long Weekend in the Lab???

WHAT???

Yeah. Unfortunately. That's what i did!

May 2-4 is supposed to be about drinking beer, camping, having illegitimate children, and all that other fun stuff. That's how its been in the past anyways. Apparently now that i'm passed the big 2-4 in age and turned the big quarter century i'm not allowed to have fun anymore.

Well...maybe all that's a bit overboard. Truth is that it was a cold and shitty long weekend and i really want to get my experimetns done with, so i stayed in kingston for the weekend so that i could get one more experiment done and under my belt so that i can stay on my target and be done and outta here by the end of August and then off to Europe!

So i spent about 5 hours here in the lab every day and went out in the evenings. Friday i worked late, then bbq'd with Oreo then headed to Clark for a summer staff party with the kids, back to work Saturday a.m. then headed out to Brent's cottage on Flint Island, one of the famous thousand islands on the St. Lawrence near Gananoque. There were about 10 of us who braved the cold and rain and headed across the river to his cottage. It was cold and shitty, but still better than being in the city. We just sat out there all night and hung out and drank a ton of beer, spent the night, and headed back in the next morning. Sunday when i got back to town i came back to the lab for a few more hours, then hung out with my summer housemates Kevin and Rob and we eventually headed down to Trav's place and played a little poker.

So as you can see, not a very exciting weekend, but at the same time, i got a ton of shit done in the lab, so i'm pretty happy.

The past couple weeks have been pretty busy with just work and stuff. I've been keeping pretty active playing soccer once or twice a week and hockey once a week and then Goodlife once or twice a week with Heather. We've been going to spin classes which are awesome. They're kinda like aerobics classes cause they have an instructor and stuff like that and its to music, but its on bikes. I really like them.

Anywyas, that's about all.
