Crafty Craziness
Instead of being good and studying for the Human Behavior test this Friday, bluekitsune and I spent Saturday afternoon getting me plastered. Work on the custom dressform has finally begun.

Lusting . . . After Clothes
As I was explaining to a classmate this morning, I have something of a coat fetish. My girlfriends are no help---they usually point out "Jeaner coats" and then I buy them. I haven't bought a coat in a long time though. Moving South may have had something to do with it, but the lack of income probably has more to do with it. Hmm. I guess that could ( Read more... ) -
A Lovely Weekend
F: Hematology exam. No time to nap. Went back to apartment for Uvulae rehearsal, where rug prompts spirited debate. Much chatting online, followed by dinner with R and eameschair at cute Italian restaurant. Girliness ensues. Went home, got dressed for party, then failed to find parking. Very frustrated by incompetence and unfulfilled desire to socialize. ( Read more... ) -
Yeomen Graphics
An amateur operatic society in the UK wants to use some of my Yeomen publicity for their production. I'm not asking to be paid (and they're certainly not offering), but I want the chance to pull out if I don't like their final layout, "programme" credit, and free copies of anything that features my work.
We're still hammering out the details, but ( Read more... ) -
Shotgun v. iPhone
My life consists of studying, phone calls, and sleep. Once in awhile, I find time for making music (i.e. Uvulae) and taking care of Real Life (e.g. cancer, bills, laundry, groceries). I just wish the outside world would leave me alone.
I don't go out much for various reasons, but I'm not scared of doing so. When I got back to New Orleans in August ( Read more... ) -
The Man Who Saved Tulane Medical
From what I understand, Dr. DeBakey, our most famous graduate, donated $100,000 through his foundation to keep Tulane Med running. He essentially started the Texas Medical Center in Houston and made Baylor College of Medicine famous. I had heard that he was in the hospital for some reason or another, but I never really knew the full story until now ( Read more... ) -
So Many Things
I found out that Cancer took mixedborder last night. While I did not know him as well as many others here did, I knew him well enough to know that his smile, enthusiasm, and gentle way of just being, would be missed. I was sad all afternoon. And then I got a phonecall.
There is so much going on in my head that I need to get out, but I don't have the time (or ( Read more... ) -
Driven By the Fear of Failure
While I apparently know how to cram, I've come to the realization (again) that it isn't very pleasant. I passed today's cardiovascular exam by a respectable margin, but I know that there is a lot that I still haven't learned, and that bothers me. (Don't even get me started on Boards). The next block is all renal and GI, and I never learned those ( Read more... ) -
Neuro Fuzzy Logic
I had just thrown some chinese sausage and jasmine rice into my rice cooker this evening when it occurred to me that there must be a cookbook out there for people like me who want to throw stuff into a rice cooker and call it a meal. (Think of it as the Asian equivalent of a crockpot). After a little Googling, I found this book. I don't know if I ( Read more... ) -
Pathology, Goljan-Style
This guy is a riot. I should have started listening to him earlier. The audio also has the added benefit of making the Rapid Review book come to life.
"Why would C-sections produce respiratory distress syndrome? Stress [pause] is missing. There's something---there's a benefit to being delivered vaginally. It's a good lesson for the newborn coming ( Read more... )
