Sorry for the hiatus everyone!

I’ve been busy these past several weeks madly working on my paper. And YES, it is done! Ok, ok, there are still a few revisions that need to be completed tomorrow morning because 1) I don’t have the necessary software installed on my Mac (my lovely lovely Mac) and 2) I [...]
- new ‘do and randomness
Per request…
ta da! You can’t really see my reddish-brown highlights that well in this pic, but they’re there. Much better than my old one, ne?

The NBA post-season has begun and it’s been pretty exciting so far. Lakers have had some good games. Like Games 2 and 3 versus Houston where they stepped up and matched the [...]
- AACR in denver
I was in Denver this past week for the 100th Annual American Association for Cancer Research conference.

Five days of scientific talks, poster sessions, vendor exhibits, and of course, good food! I had a great time, if a little exhausting. Break down below.
The BAD:
1. 10 hours to get to Denver. My flight was delayed for 4 [...]
- cowboys and cats
kitty kitty bang bang?
[. . . read more ]
“Kitty” in reference to the cat I wouldn’t mind adopting but can’t and “bang bang” to the cowboys I was surrounded by Friday night (Texas, guns…you get my drift.)
We’ll start off in chronological order with the cowboys. Friday after lunch, my coworkers and I were discussing our plans for the weekend. Heather [...]
- 2 weeks until….
the postseason begins!
[. . . read more ]
I love the NBA. I’m a HUGE Lakers fan. A RABID Kobe follower. And for the past couple of weeks hugely disappointed in their play. The lack of offensive flow and defensive intensity, the subpar play of the so-called “Bench Mob”, the inability to maintain leads, and finally, two embarrassing losses that appeared [...]

I had sushi! (but more on this later) ^_^

Wednesday through Friday of last week I was in Houston for the Frontiers of Cancer Research 2009 meeting. We had a rocky start. First, our flight to Dallas was delayed by an hour due to a ground-stop because of thunderstorms in the Dallas area. Then, when we [...]
- TTUHSC student research week
I won 2nd place in the Junior Clinical Science poster competition!
[. . . read more ]
Junior because I have less than 2 years of research under my belt and Clinical Science because, well, I research drug therapeutics in pediatric oncology. I wasn’t even going to submit an abstract for the poster competition, but my PI requested that I submit one. [...]
- bacon explosion
Sounds sort of gross huh?

Well it’s really not that bad, that is if you stick to one thin slice (which is what I, as a health conscious individual, did). Tito’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and to celebrate his big 3-0, we got together for a night of bacon explosion. You can find [...]
- snow day
I experienced falling snow for the first time!
[. . . read more ]
This happened one late, chilly January evening. It was really awesome. The snowfall wasn’t heavy; more like a light misting. When I woke up in the morning, there was a thin coating of ice over everything. Pretty neat except for the black ice on the bridges and [...]

Welcome to my new blog site! I persuasively enticed Ezra Crow to redesign my blog and he generously obliged me. All future posts will be published on this site and you can find all of my previous posts here as well.
Cass (for all those inquiring minds out there) is my Pet Society pet. She’s very kawaii, ne?
Stay tuned for forthcoming [...]
