Days 85-93
Sorry foks, this time period was when I lost my phone and all the pics I had taken for each respective day. As such, here are some exciting things you're missing out on seeing:
-More shots of my office
-Probably something random I saw on the street
-If I got desperate, possibly a picture from inside my apartment
-Something I cooked
But unfortunately, I did lose the pictures I took at "We Put the Spring in Springfield," a live acapella performance of many of The Simpsons' greatest hits. Oh wells. Here's what you would've seen:

Day 79
Since I lack a key to the office, if I'm the first one in, I'm normally locked out until a manager arrives. That being the case today, and the fact that it was Friday meant that I was waiting in front of the door till 9:30 (an hour since I arrived!). A few coworkers and I decided to enjoy the day Ferris Bueller style and just spent the day enjoying the city during hours we would have normally spent behind a computer in a cubicle.
Unfortunately, there was no parade we could crash and sing at, but you get the idea.

Day 78
If you know me, there are very few things I choose to be truly gung-ho about. A major exception to this would be the following:
Why I never bothered to look up a public Simpsons trivia event in the past boggles my mind as well. For too many years I've built up my knowledge of random tidbits and lines of this popular 90s sensation to only really be able to share with few friends. Tonight, I found another outlet in the form of a competition for donuts:
Aside from being surrounded by who love The Simpsons as much as I do, the best part of this event was the screening of classic episodes in between each round of trivia. The atmosphere it created was reminiscent of the Simpsons viewing parties that would take part on Thursday nights at 8pm in bars throughout the country in the 90s. Simpsons enthusiasts would gather together to watch new episodes of the Simpsons, back when watching the show was actually worth it. It's an experience I missed out on growing up (something that's difficult to experience when these events were happening when I was only 9). And maybe it's the beer talking, but the collective raucous laughter at all the lines and jokes that shaped my childhood was enough to cause some strange feeling of bliss for me.

Day 77
A coworker and I attended a swing class with a meetup group today. While the thought of me performing any kind of ballroom dance may be frightening, I assure you that I wasn't completely terrible (though my coworker likened my fancy footwork to that of a galloping horse).

Day 76
In some sort of symbolic gesture, the mug I've been using everyday for the past 2 years at my work desk in Oakland, San Carlos, and now New York has finally decided to call it quits. Well, part of it has to do with my butterfingers and the fact that I dropped it in the sink. Either way, it's the end of an era...mugwise...I guess.

Day 74
On my first hike in nearly 6 months (and the first since I've made my way out east), I found myself at the South Mountain Reservation in the Watchungs Region in New Jersey. 
Now, this hike was no Half Dome (and it doesn't even hold a candle to the mountainous hikes in Santa Cruz, the Peninsula, and the East Bay), but apparently there's a lot of history here, what with George Washington using this hill as a look out point during the Revolutionary War. Or something.
