Woo philly!

It is late here. Today, Vikram and I embarked on a great pilgrimage to honor the stem cell gods. Highlights included:

-taking 3 hours to pack when i should have only took 1
-finally realizing that Weg was indeed not coming with us to Philadelphia
-sleeping on the plane with my eyes open and vikram getting a picture of it
-playing n64 games on vikrams labtop (mario kart, wayne gretzy 3d hockey, mario tennis, diddy kong racing)
-buying a 16oz smoothie for $5.47 and buffalo wings for $9.26. airport food is expensive.
-wishing for an earlier flight in order to watch laker game and then after our flight was delayed, wishing for an even longer delay in order to watch the laker game.
-vikram noting that i apparently make this weird movement with my throat by licking the back upper roof of my mouth when i sleep
-making a "thats what she said" joke when the captain said "we'll now begin our decent from watever watever feet now blah blah..."
-ipod touch is amazing
-having a handicap hotel room (the shower has a seat. I sat on it and then realized that numerous wet butts have also sat on it. Yum.)
-walking the streets of downtown philly at 3AM in search of food in form of seven-eleven.

I miss my roommates. In the midst of school, work, frisbee, and nothing i lose contact with them. By the time I return to San Diego, I don't know if they'll still be there. I hope at least i can celebrate the end of our junior year with them before they all go home. I basically finished my finals on Monday and left on a business trip without saying good bye. Aish.

The stem cell conference starts tomorrow at like 1 and its right outside our hotel. It's going to be sweet. Vikram and I are going to get lots of booze, and figure this cancer stem cell thing during the night like mad scientists. I brought my pathways of cancer poster and hopefully we can make some crazy discovery.


And song lyrics of the day:
from Jack Johnson's Brushfire fairy tales:

Well Plato's cave is full of freaks
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen
I wish they could believe
In all the things that never made the screen
And just slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that
Slow down everyone
You're moving too fast

amazing lyrics. plato's cave is super cool and trippy. and I liek this song because it tells you to slow down and smell the flowers and not worry about shit. I forget about enjoying the simple things in life.
