This puts me in the first week of orientation at Vasssar College. My orientation group and I were sitting in a circle playing a game. Our leader passed around a box of Frootloops and told us each to take as many as we wanted. Never having been allowed to each "junk" as a kid I jumped at the chance. It was only after I took nearly 1/4 of the box that I realized the game required us to tell everyone a fact about ourselves for each Frootloop we took. Ugh.

Sophomore year in college at Vassar. I had survived the hardest academic year of my life and was living in a suite with my good friend Mike and someone we only just met because we were all at the bottom of the room draw. I seem to remember a certain CCG from a galaxy far far away being new...

One year ago, 2004-08-24:
In between my second and third year as a Ph.D. student at Mt. Sinai and recently returned from GenCon as well where I had a great time working for Decipher and hanging with my friends. This time point is memorable because it holds the story of how I was up so late one night that I literally fell asleep in my soup at the Steak 'n Shake.

Yesterday, 2005-08-23:
Still catching up on labwork from being away at GenCon. I finished up most of the template for my first of two poster presentations at the ASBMR meeting that looms on the horizon. I then left work early to head to Neutral Ground and play Versus in their league, but didn't realize that the format was Golden Age, so I got crushed, dropped out, bought 6 boxes of Avengers with my store credit and opened them all in front of the wannabe Damn Sexys in the store.

Tomorrow, 2005-08-25:
My friend Mike is already here and my good friend Austin will be arriving. I have to head to lab early in the morning to make sure I get my work done before I meet him at the train station and the partying begins!
