Par-tay

(transfered from my other blog....from last weekend)

Last night I went to one of my work colleague's Thanksgiving dinner. Matt and his partner Jenny (Jenny is the American) put on a magnificant meal resplendent with all things Thanksgiving.
I therefore met a lot of Matt and Jenny's friends, many of whom are from BioMed and many of whom weren't. The people I met are

• David - a performer who makes his living money doing stuff in museums
  
• Sharon - a researcher for our immunology journal
• Anna - a researcher for some other journal :)
• Stefan - a german Biomed central guy
• Stephan - a writer for New Scientist!
• Michaela - a german woman who works at Biomed Central
• Pritpal- a very witty Biomed central guy who had most of the party in the palm of his hand - actually he was the first person I met on the first day I was at BMC, as the receptionist was off somewhere. Because everyone seemed to know him, his name was not mentioned often, so I have no idea what it is.
• ????? - another doctor, though not from BMC, who I had a final wind-down chat with. We all talked about Jazz and interfaces/edges before rushing off for trains.

Actually, I didn't rush for the tube, because I rode there on my bike. The bike that is selling tonight at 11pm, I know this because there is now a bid on it, though only at the 'reserve' which is a little dissapointing, we'll see.
It was a good ride, and made me not want to sell the bike, but then it pissed down today which reminded me of why I am. Today (after getting back at 2:30 last night) I went indoor climbing with Tam, and then we went to Camden for lunch with his girl Karen. Had a great time. I am really startign to like the people I know; Tam, Alistair, Matt and all his friends. They are all good people.
I get paid on Tuesday!
