Controversy!
My coaches were pissed!
The fight was pretty even. When the scores were read, it was given to me as the win. But a minute later, one of the judges said he/she had misread the score and it went to my opponent. So it was a very short lived victory. But yeah, my coaches were pissed. I was a little pissed. The reversal got...

Road rage! haha! You'd of fucked her up and that'd teach her and her kids not to fuck with a crazy tattooed Asian. But you're right about not knowing if someone has a gun, knife, or whatever. I try to avoid those situations too.
Well Gage, our 13 year old red nosed pitbull was euthanized on Wednesday at around 10 am. I was stuck at school so I only got to say goodbye to her when my ex left the apartment before I did. It was so sad. I spent a chunk of Tuesday night crying and trying to console myself that euthanizing her was a good choice. You...

I'm very sorry. I've been there too, and it's truly awful.

I'm so sorry.

The biggest thing is the weight. You obsess about your weight the entire time you're training because most people need to drop weight for a fight. I weighed myself 5-10 times a day. I could tell you approximately how much weight I would drop if I went to the bathroom and urinated approximately X amount. It's scary.

Fight update:
The event was a little slow to get off the ground because they hadn't gotten the ring ready by the time people came in to see the fight. Eh, it's okay.
One of the fighters from my gym came in overweight and couldn't cut the last of it by the time he needed to. Another guy from our gym was also supposed to...

Best of luck!

Good luck go manic on em.
I think I'm coming down with a cold or the air is really dry and my sinuses are dehydrated. I can't tell. Maybe I'll use the humidifier tonight.
I finished my first 5 week rotation at Bellevue. Yay. Internal Med rotations are supposed to be the suck and I managed pretty well. Imagine if I really applied myself. Plus I got along with my preceptor...

I am glad you survived your first rotation. Which one is next?
mingol:
Dry winter weather always causes me sinus problems, too. While living in Michigan I found a humidifier to be an absolute must.
Congrats on finishing your first rotation.

I'm a little disappointed but somewhat relieved that one of my questions was finally answered. The Forest group offered the fellowship to a fucker from the fucking midwest. I'm a little pissed because I would have rather not moved. But now I know where I"ll be in July.
I'm MOVING TO PHILLY!

Reason I need to get back to Philly as often as possible.
1: D'mitri's- Just a short walk from South Street this little Greek restaurant that specializes in seafood is worth the, sometimes up to an hour, wait....just go across the street and hang out at the New Wave...which has a pretty damn good menu of their own.
2: Vietnam Restaurant- I go just for their veggie spring rolls and fried veggie spring rolls. And all their other dishes I've had are pretty good too. Not to be confused with Vietnam Palace across the street...they're not as good.
3: White Dog Cafe- Pretty much everything is organic and just damn GOOD. Also just a great place to stop off for a pint after work. Right in the heart of Univ. city between Drexel and Penn....almost on Penn campus.
4: Victory Hop Devil on tap everywhere....My most favorite brew.
5: McGlinchy's- Little hole in the wall that has one of the most eclectic clientele I've ever seen....crusty punk sitting next to stock broker....and you can't beat the pints of Yuengling Porter for $1.50....I remember when it was a buck.....actually it might have gone up since I was last there....that would be sad.
That's just the start....I loved the seven years I lived in Philly, except for that fact that finding work I liked was hard there.
If we make it back there this summer, we'll drop you a line.
Cheers

Im sorry you didnt get the one you wanted, but at least you get to start afresh somewhere new!
Wow! What a nice surprise seeing all the happy birthdays. Thanks so much for the b-day wishes! I usually keep it on the downlow and don't tell people but 3-0 is a big one.

you sound like a moldspawn.
Damn I'm tired. I haven't slept well in a few nights. Probably the hormones. Plus the achy back from the female time of the month.....what fun no? I think I might take a nap.

I went to a local plastic surgeon, no one fancy. I was referred to him by an acquaintance that went to him for her nose job. I wasn't up for looking through the dozens of possibilities, I can't travel out of my city, so I simply went with him (plus the office staff was fabulous).
He had repaired torn lobes before, but my case was the first where "someone stretched their lobes and wanted them to be normal again."
I didn't get to see ANYTHING, so I don't know how much of my lobe was cut off (though I know that a small chunk is missing, or else they wouldn't be so small now).
However, I'm VERY happy with everything. The local anesthetic was enough to prevent any pain DURING the surgery, and there was very very little afterwards. Once in a while, I would feel a pinching sensation-- but didn't take anything stronger than your standard over-the-counter Tylenol for it. There was very little pot-op bleeding, very little swelling, and the stitches come out this Tuesday.
Without insurance, everything (consultation, procedure and anesthetic, and all post-op visits) were included in the $2,000 total. And well worth it, I must say.

I see aunthood suits you
How swollen are they? more than normal for a fight? Your probably already familiar with this, but you know about rolling/pressing out bruises to speed healing and reduce swelling right?
Cookies!
And lately (ie: the last year or so) for some reason I haven't had the nerve to ask out any of the really cute people I randomly meet, either. But a personal Doctor to help tend the sore spots would have been nice. *winks*
