Get those knees up

A weekend of Alumni Band and reminiscing about (ok ok... living in) the past. I'm expecting very little sleep, lots of drinking, but mostly seeing basically everyone I knew in college over the course of 48 hours, wanting to squeeze in an hour-long conversation with each person and feeling lucky if I get about 5 minutes. Currently I'm furiously packing. See ya'll soon!

Bite My Ass

Big Tex made his debut in 1952 and began greeting fairgoers in 1953. The 2004 State Fair of Texas runs from Friday, Sept. 24 through Sunday, Oct. 17. (AP Photo/Donna McWilliam)

Another 11 days

I realize that by now very few people probably read this site. For anyone who still does, I put up some photos in my gallery. I will probably be the last ones for a while since apparently I'm just about at my limit for storage space at my free site. So we'll see what I have to do from here.

Anyway, the photos are from the 2004 US Open Tennis tournament, which was a total blast. I've been every year that I've lived here in NY (going on my 3rd year). Also, there are photos of the DCA Prelims in the previously mentioned gallery.

In boring work news, we had a mock site visit by a collaborator of ours from the University of Michigan and it went very very well. The boss is proud of all of us, and my project in particular is coming along well and although the results at this point are still a tad bizzare, we'll flesh out what's really going on. I also got confirmation that my poster has been accepted for presentation at the 2004 Cell Biology Meeting in December. The next week holds some long nights at work, trying to get experiments done, and then Northwest Airlines will be kind enough to fly me to Moline for a low low price (rather than getting raped by American or United by flying into CID... $500 my ass).

Yowza

It's been a long time since I've updated this site (obviously). Summer has ended quite forcefully. I've actually been quite busy doing things both in my life and at work so that's the reason I've not been posting regularly. It's just a reason, not an excuse. In brief, I have been to the US Open, I went to see a Jenniffer perform in a DCA show, I've ripped down wallpaper, and I've got deadlines at work for grant updates and a semi-mock site visit. At some point I'll put of photos of the tennis and the drum corps show.

I'm planning on being at Homecoming this year from Thursday until Sunday, just FYI. And although I did not get to see the Hawks beat Iowa State I was there in spirit.

Seacrest Out!
