Kyllan posted a few new pictures to her flickr account. Remember, you can always find a link in the right hand sidebar.

To make up for the recent lack of post, I thought I would share an old family photo with everyone. This is the oldest family portrait I own. The copy I have belonged to my sister. It now sits on my mantle inside of what is likely the original frame. I’d guess it was from ’82 or ’83. Maybe my mother can help me out on the date.

Anybody doing anything interesting this weekend? I will probably spend the majority of the weekend studying. I was thinking about catching a movie, but I don’t know of anything interesting out. Anybody seen anything good recently? I have The Departed on DVD. I may watch in the apartment complex theater room.

I haven’t been posting a lot recently, so I am making this random post. This Wednesday my boss was out of town and I had to cover his med micro lab at the medical school. It was a small groups lab with about 20 students. The subject was HIV diagnostics, something I knew very little about before preparing for the lab. The students had some case studies to discuss, but the main purpose was to understand the concepts behind different test available. It was pretty interesting interacting with the students. Some were very inquisitive, others were only interested in signing the role. All-in-all, it was an enjoyable experience and I look forward to the next time I get the opportunity.

I was going to post a poll on which was your favorite Super Bowl ads, but the ads this year were really bad and it would be a waste of time. Maybe I she post a poll on the worst ad. My vote would be for the Chevy ad with the robot. Nothing makes me want to buy a car like an ad about someone/something getting fired, spiraling into depression and committing suicide! Was it just me or 50% of the ads for CBS? Anyway, what did you think of the game? I thought it was pretty good. The Bears kept it exciting, but just couldn’t pull it out in the end.

In case you are like Kyllan, I would like to remind everyone that the Super Bowl is on Sunday. What are you doing for the big game? Me? Last year I hosted a party for the department’s graduate students (at Tulane.) This year, I could count the number of people I know in Denver on one hand. So, instead of going some place with a bunch of people I don’t know and eating bad food, I am going to just watch it by myself at home. I’m not really pulling for anyone. Tony Dungy is the only reason I would like to see the Colts win. However, the Bears are the underdog, and I would love to see them surprise everybody.

The weigh out for the 10 day challenge I participated in ended on Friday. I am happy to report that I did manage to work out 9 out of the 10 days, so I was very excited about that. I managed to lose 2.4lbs and 4 3/4 inches (combination of biceps, waist, hips, and thighs). According to my scale, I lost closer to 5 lbs 🙂 but I am just happy to see results period. I probably could have been a bit stricter with my “healthy meals”, but overall my meals were much healthier than usual. I even turned down desserts for 10 days! Ahhh! Don’t tell anyone I baked cookies for myself this evening 🙂 Anyway… I have established a workout routine and am improving my overall eating habits, so I guess you can say mission accomplished.

I don’t know how William nor I did not post about this earlier, but tonight starts the 2-day, 4 hour season premiere of 24, the best show on television! I highly recommend watching it if you are looking for a new television addiction. Actually, if you have not been watching, you need to become a member of Netflix immediately and start renting the DVD starting from season 1. Warning: you will not be able to stop watching, so don’t plan to watch one or two episodes and then stop…it is truly an addiction!

p.s. Please do not make any specific comments about the show until after 11pmEST.  William is in Denver and it does not come on until 7pm Mountain time, so I don’t want anyone to spoil it for him.

Happy Founder’s Day to all of my wonderful sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
