My days usually consist of food, coffee, alcoholic libations, toying with science in a lab, and music. Sometimes in that order and sometimes not. Sometimes in equal consumptions and sometimes more overly consumed than others.

What? I was referring to the lab being my main time suck. Somehow indulgence in coffee, food and alcohol just seem to be a resulting impact.

If not donning a lab coat, I'm galavanting about the city exploring new places to eat, drink and take in some art or some live music. Thursday nights at the ICA anyone? Or perhaps a show at the House of Blues? But if you ask me, I would prefer a small room in an Irish Pub. At home I'm lounging in my pjs, catching up on some TV or reading a book. If I'm not making a solid dent in my couch I can be found whipping up something new and delicious in the kitchen which usually involves being covered in flour.

Oh, I'm also a Canadian transplant with a sense for adventure and travel. Definitely not afraid to travel alone but it's always better with someone. Whether its to a getaway like Jamaica or Europe or Asia count me in.

I’m trying to masterfully juggle the life of a full-time graduate student (thesis and all) while balancing a full-time job in a small biotech company. See why I need good food, drink, and coffee?

Baking. I’m kidding -- although I did just take a 4-week class on perfecting basic baking skills. If I like you – perhaps I’ll make you some tasty treats.

Cooking. I’m an avid cooker and always trying to play around in the kitchen.

Frisbee throwing. Its been awhile. Hence, the emphasis on the throwing part and catching – still needs practice.

Not taking myself too seriously. I'll try almost anything once and am usually laughing and making a complete fool of myself

Dimples and smile.

There are few movies that I can watch over and over again: GATTACA, Hot Fuzz and Zoolander. Orange mocha frappucino!

As far as tv, I'm most excited to watch Top Chef, Tosh.0, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, anything Anthony Bourdain, Dr Who.

I love to check out new restaurants and trying out new recipes. I can't pass up a good bowl of Pho, sushi or my grandmother's pierogi soup. Suggestions to some fun new places to try are ALWAYS welcomed and encouraged.

Good food is always shared with family and friends along with some good music. Last year I went to most of the free WFNX shows they had to offer including Fitz and the Tantrums and
Atomic Tom. I really do miss that station. Sigh. Most recently I've become somewhat of a regular at the House of Blues: Beirut and Canada's own The Tragically Hip.

Exploring new exotic locales such as Morroco, but settling for long weekends to San Francisco or New Orleans. Despite living in Spain for a few months after college, and traveling for a month afterwards (France, Portugal, more Spain and Poland) my passport is severely lacking in stamps.

Lately I've been in the lab but usually I'm out with friends feasting on new culinary delights or listening to live music.

The only reason I got my iPhone was to play Words With Friends, which I come to find out was only a gateway to other ridiculous games and hours of my day completely lost.

Feel free to message me if you have a similar enthusiasm for life, if you’re a little nerdy and are willing to drive 4 hours to visit a brewery. Well maybe not the brewery part – but if you’ve done that – points!
