6/5 - Nerdgasm


I came back up to Gainesville this evening. Jake looks great. Creatinine is down to 0.83, and Potassium is 3.2. We went and bought what little inventory was left over from his previous Toys-R-Us trips (Thanks Alicia and Raquel! and Dr. Calderon). It's like looting, but you pay at the cash register on the way out.


Since we were in one place for a week, some gifts that had been sent to us during the hospital stay finally caught up to us. I guess the same inner instincts that are so good for avoiding creditors are counterproductive when people try to send gifts. Thanks to Carl Roston for the UF Championship hat, to Scott Goldstein for the awesome games and goody basket, and to the Kasowitz firm for the dainty girlie stuff for Jen. Dr. Calderon sent an amazing basket of goodies that we received earlier this week and today we received packs of Yu Gi Oh Cards and another gift card to Toys R Us from him. Thank you all for your generous gifts.


I had some time to kill last night (my stag lifestyle leaves much to be desired) so I went to Aventura mall. The Sony Style store is awesome. It's like the Apple Store, except with Sony stuff. They have all the ultrapremium Sony laptops on display that you don't normally see at retail. Since I lean towards Windows, it was hard to resist some of the tech porn. I did, but it was hard (to resist).


The Miami Supercon Comic book convention is this weekend. We're going to miss it, but it's a good reminder that the convention was the first public thing Jake and I went to when he got out of the hospital two years ago. Even if we were in town, we'd probably skip it anyway. Too many germs and too much Naruto.
