Strange things course through your mind while you are slicing ten pounds of back fat off of a dead man. One of the things I always say to my friends here is, "Can't stop. Won't stop. En-eh, en-eh." Which is actually an imitation of Dave Chapelle doing an imitation of P. Diddy, or Puff Daddy, or whoever he is this week. Then I was thinking ( Read more... )

Tonight I spent most of my time condensing two hundred pages of text into seven pages of notes. It is an explanation of all of the clinical manifestations of certain nerve lesions. For example, if a man was stabbed in the armpit in a knife fight, which nerves are most likely to become lesioned, and what will be the resulting deficits? I wrote it ( Read more... )

Today was the six month anniversary of HST's death. So I celebrated by doing nothing today. Well, almost nothing. I watched TV a good deal. There is a show on HBO called "Cathouse," and it is just amazing to me that anyone would pay 2500 dollars to have sex with someone. I watched the original "Night of the Living Dead" which was also ( Read more... )

Marv is getting thinner by the day. In fact, so am I. I can't eat meat anymore. At least not beef. It looks too much like human meat. I have been diggin chic patties lately though, and goddammit, tofu is just so good. What's not to like? My head feels like it weighs eighty pounds right now. So much information. So many origins, insertions ( Read more... )

I am up to my neck in work right now. I am concurrently taking biochemistry, microbiology, embryology, gross anatomy, and tooth morphology. Some of the classes have labs too. We are all over the place with DNA right now. There is so much to it that we don't know though. Meaning, 90 percent of the human genome is referred to as "junk DNA." By ( Read more... )

I met a new person the other day. His name is Marv. He lives in the basement at my school. He is a white guy, probably about 70, and I hypothesize that he died sometime in the last year, and probably laid somewhere face down for awhile before anyone found him. Marv is the cadaver that I have been assigned to for gross anatomy this year ( Read more... )

Today was a good day. I got up early, after sleeping for fifteen hours, and went to class. After two hours of lecture, I proceeded to kick the shit out of the final. I got either a 96, or a 94. It was fun, actually. I have never taken a final where I had been so well prepared in advance. I slept the whole day yesterday, because I was tired. ( Read more... )

People here think that it rains alot in Seattle. In fact, so many have said that they would find that type of environment to be, "intolerable." They tell me this all the while they clutch their umbrellas under their arms and look skyward. The rain here is a damn near biblical event. There are huge thunderclaps, lightning, and raindrops the size ( Read more... )
