ah, the power of the femur. its amazing how attentively people listen to you when youre holding one of those. it adds a certain air of the dramatic, and it seems to immediately attach significance to whatever you are saying (especially when you pound the bone against a metal table to really 'drive' a point home). i suppose the look of attention and awe on...

so i think im way too hard on people. at least, im way too hard on people that i dont know that well and dont really care to know that well.

i think my problem is that i set higher standards for people than they do for themselves.
pinkisux:
yeah but its my roommate, so i have to live in the squallar. but the sink has been fixed now so i'm gonna stop cleaning now.
why aren't you online? i'm bored from no work and i need you to entertain me!

saw the resection of a sweet meningioma today. i also woke up to the sound of a waterfall this morning. it was actually the sound of the rain hitting the concrete outside of n's apartment, but damn, it fucking sounded like a waterfall.
man, this is turning out to be a weird weekend.

oh man, join the club.
im started to really enjoy reading cookbooks on the shitter. its a good way to casually pass a few minutes, and i really dont tend to care about recipes at other times. i mean, i care about them when im cooking, but by then its too late to buy necessary ingrediants. i feel like i eat well, and im becoming a better cook all the...

new piercing, and no job. yeah lots have happened since last we talked.
today was a good day. i woke up late, got laid, got a burrito, and then went to foxwoods for a few hours and basically broke even. just got back to boston from ct, and am in need of sleep. i start in the lab tomorrow for the summer, so im looking forward to getting going. my fellowship was for eight weeks, so that should...

oh, and i dunno how to do that neato flip turn at the end of the lap. i really wanna learn though, it looks neato. but it's good for me to pause for a moment at the edge anyhow.

awww you think i'm rad.... AWWWWWWW 
im done and drunk on champagne!

woo hoo!
have my physical diagnosis final with a standardized patient in about an hour, which should be interesting. at this point, im just looking forward to having it done so i can focus mroe on anatomy and physiology. the weekend is supposed to be filled with rain, which will be a pain in the ass, but will help me stay inside and study for one more...

what?!?! you're gonna be done after this week! jeebus!
I think I actually work better when it's sunny. It's very peculiar, but maybe it's knowing that if I get my work done, there's a gorgeous sunny world waiting for me that makes me work harder. If it's rainy, it's not like there's anything better to do than work, so why hurry?
Then again, I haven't exactly been a model of productivity today...

gave tours to alumni today. old people (and old docs) fucking rock. i also got some free food and free umbrella (i believe it is a 'golf umbrella' bc its absurdly large). it was cool to meet a lot of alumni who feel that what im going through is actually worth it. also, the class of 1980 has six or so people give presentations on...

the art in bloom exhibit at the mfa was rad. basically, various flower/gardening groups (ie not professionals) get together and create floral arrangements to stand next to selected pieces of art throughout the museum. its cool to see how people tried to play with shape, color and texture in the flowers, and its also cool just to see some amazing fucking plants. some of the...

That is awesome. I wonder, did anyone try to fill the room with a scent that they felt would be appropriate to the setting/context of the painting? Like, if it were a still life with roses, seeing and smelling them would be awesome. I dunno what kind of flowers they rocked in old Egypt (my indubitably orientalizing impulse is to imagine musk and jasmine type stuff) but that would be neato.
damn, erin is fucking hot.
we get to play with the brains more today, which should be pretty damn interesting. after seeing the thing in surgery so many times, its really kind of satisfying to be able to actually hold it and manipulate it. as is obvious, brain surgery is particularly delicate, and that makes it really hard to see what is going on and...

neato!
the weather is pretty sweet here today. its fairly warm, and just off and on with rain. its humid enough so that you can be comfortable in pants and a shirt (as long as you stay dry). its the type of day that would be perfect for starting with a nice cafe/diner breakfast, and then spending the afternoon on a covered terrace somewhere reading and...
