The time capsule letter

13 August, 2010 (22:16) | nerd stuff | By: Gina

For the first time in what seems like ages, Zack and Joe (and Joe’s girlfriend, Stephanie) came over to hang out tonight for Joe’s birthday.  Before we made our way to Big Truck Tacos though, Zack had gotten the letters Joe and I wrote to ourselves during our senior year in high school from the [...]

Nerdy things of interest to me

I ordered myself a cool new notebook from Jetpens the other day and I plan to use it to make notes and outlines while studying.  The line spacing is perfect for my smaller handwriting (slightly smaller than college rule) and there are faint, evenly-spaced dots along each line to help keep things neat and orderly. [...]

Free time is no good

11 August, 2010 (17:33) | nerd stuff, shopping | By: Gina

I keep looking at things I want to buy in between patients on adolescent clinic instead of studying like a good resident would.  In my defense though, the latest thing I want are these… More shoes from the Adidas Star Wars line!  HAN SOLO SHOES.  Just what I need to go with my LEGO HAN [...]

I am in love with this duck

And I can’t stop laughing at him.

oooOOOooo!

Look at this!  It would match my Lego watch and my super-awesome Adidas kicks so perfectly!  It even makes me wish my car was silver so it could look a little like the Millennium Falcon…

This was a great idea!

I got tired of trying to find a working computer in the PICU with a real internet connection, so Evan suggested bringing in our netbook.  It’s awesome!  Now I can check things while on call on Meditech AND play around on Facebook all I want!

I think I’m doing this backwards

To get ready for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows coming out in November, I decided I’d reread the book.  It took all of 3 days and my head is filled with thoughts of wizards and spells and magic, so I’m going to reread Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince next.  Eventually I’ll work my [...]

Now what???

8 July, 2010 (22:46) | nerd stuff | By: Gina

Evan and I finished Lego Harry Potter and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with my free time now!  Study?!?  Blech…

Finally, a much-needed day off (T minus 363!)

My day off isn’t until tomorrow, but that meant I was able to go out tonight for a movie and dinner.  AND Michelle finally got to see the car! Now to go play some LEGO Harry Potter and rest before playing some more tomorrow

The tripod Evan and I ordered for our camera came in, and it makes me want to take even more pictures!  Any ideas, anyone?  The dog’s been through enough for the month, I think

Lego pictures!

As requested, here are the pictures from the impromtu Lego photoshoot after my birthday dinner as well as the Stormtroopers shoot I did just to be silly.  (Thumbnails link to bigger versions that should open in a new tab/window.)

Another birthday party :)

After celebrating with friends yesterday, I had the chance to celebrate today with my family.  Check out these awesome cupcakes Jasmine made!

“Hey, the one in the back’s the tallest trooper I’ve seen yet!”

Another sign we’re not “growing up”

1 June, 2010 (23:13) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

After dinner on Sunday, my sisters and I decided that the best way to celebrate Michelle’s 21st birthday (and all of us finally being legal drinking age) would be to take a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and drink butterbeer!  It’s not til November but because of busy schedules and work, we’ve [...]

LegoLand again?

29 May, 2010 (23:04) | nerd stuff | By: Gina

I want to go back to LegoLand, maybe during my next vacation in November.  Any takers?  A short trip to California anybody?
