Okay, new milestone here: played poker for about 3 and a half hours and came out on top. That's right folks. I won $1.60, $1 of which is the first and only Sacajawea dollar ever to pass through my grubby, grubby little fingers. Also, I learned 6 new names and totally neglected to think about objectivity in history for the duration, which will likely come back to haunt me in oh, say, 8-12 hours.

Also: there is one guy sitting in the corner playing computer games. I have been into the lab 4 times ranging between 10 and 1 AM. Same guy. Same game. Same computer. Same out-of-control goatee. Weird.
