“Pericarditis upon auscultation sounds like the rustling of silk”
– My Anatomy book (… um really? Is anyone supposed to know what the RUSTLING of silk sounds like?! I didn’t even know that silk made a sound).
“Congratulations on your one year anniversary. I hope you both always take care...”
– Mom

3 of my pilots are circulating. Let’s sell something.
Let’s hope nobody tries to steal them.
Currently Craving
wait for it…..
Joe’s Crab Shack
Disgusting, right?! I’m kind of disappointed in myself too, don’t worry, you’re not the only one grossed out. It’s just this island has no effing food and the food they do have costs 3x more than necessary. So when I’m watching NY cable and Joe’s Crab Shack commercials come on… Pavlov conditioning kicks in...
Nesting Mode
Ugh I hate that I’m in this crazy nesting phase right now where I just want to settle down. Nuts right?
Basically fueling the fire are the following:
a) Girl in my class that taunts me with her ginormous ring and the whole her fiance living with her thing (it makes me miss MJ even more… he’s not even in the same country as me)
b) Everyone and their MOM getting engaged and/or...
Fun!
I went jet skiing for the first time ever this morning! It was pretty fun. I don’t know why I’ve always favored speed boats over jet skiing.
Pictures to come.
Hard work FTW!
I got a 96 on my first exam of the semester today. It feels good to start off strong. I hope I can keep it up.
I’m really pissed that I missed that one question about lysosomes and lipofuscin granules. UGH.
“Listen to the music of the moment, come and dance with me!”
– Listening to Jason Mraz tonight while studying for Histo… love!

I HATE the press sometimes
An unfortunate event occured yesterday at VT (my alma mater) between two grad students in which one stabbed the other one and killed her. That’s all it says on the VT website right now… (straight from the horse’s mouth so to speak), but CNN.com has a headline on it’s front page saying she was decapitated.
Whether or not that is true, I’m not sure, but I hate that...
How I spent my inauguration day
I had a round in Orthopedics today. Needless to say, I didn’t see much except for X-rays. They were operating on a child with a congenital disorder where one femur is anti-parallel with the other.
There wasn’t enough room in the ER to watch the surgery so that was that.
Oh funny thing, when we arrived at the hospital this morning, my professor specifically told the class to wait...
It's today! It's today!
I’m really sad I’m here in Antigua and not in Washington seeing as my house is a hop on the metro away from the city… AND a lot of my friends work at the Capitol so I think tickets would have been rather attainable.
That said… I hope MJ Tivos this for me because instead of being home today, I’m going to be in the hospital in Orthopedics. When I was bitching last...
Sunday Secret
Somebody is going to seriously disagree with me on this one… but, I’m going to admit it…
I don’t think Beyonce can sing.
Sorry.
You're too beautiful for this...
So I guess the buzz on tumblr right now is the whole Botox (or a derrivative) in your 20’s thing…
Did you know that Botox is a paralyzing agent? Why would you EVER want to paralyze your face?
Maybe I’m not wise enough to understand as I haven’t encountered the laugh line issue yet but I feel like aging is kind of sacred. Like why would you EVER cover up the fact that you...
“Inauguration week is the new graduation week, just as drunk, only the...”

“And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you...”
– I love Murakami. I’ve been a fan ever since Hardbroiled Wonderland and The End of The World… we pretty much live parallel lives JD. Mindfuck!
“Kafka on the Shore” by Haruki Murakami (via jgdillard)
... have fun with that
My friend’s National Guard unit got activated for the inauguration. All I have to say is have fun taming that clusterfuck.
It’s probably going to be awesome for all who attend (minus the whole no cars allowed in DC thing) but a headache for the ones trying to keep it under control. Plus it’s probably going to be FREEZING.
I STILL wish I could be there. Ugh. My friend lives in...
Dear Tourists...

Dear Visiting Tourist:
Please stand on the right.
It is hard to properly convey how important that will be for your time here for the inauguration, so please just comply. When you are on a Metro escalator, boarding a Metro train or doing anything remotely affiliated with the transit authority’s symbol, then please stand single file...
Even worse...
You think the rice story was bad… I’ve been so busy this week I haven’t been able to get to the grocery store so after coming home and eating Ramen today… around 2 for lunch… I had a Flinstone’s vitamin for dinner… thinking if I couldn’t eat anything I wanted to, I could at least supplement it?
Bad idea. I can’t wait to raid the grocery store...

Hey, this actually looks pretty good…
very awesome.
Well done!
Food woes
Shana and I made a bag of Uncle Ben’s white rice the other day (you know the 90 second kind you just pop in the microwave)… anyway, to our dismay unlike all the other Uncle Ben’s rice flavors, this wasn’t flavored which I guess shouldn’t have been a shock because rarely is white rice ever flavored…
Anyhow, we were so upset we sat there with our plates for a...
